UFC on FX - Alves vs. Kampmann

[Catfish Billy]

This event will host the semifinals of the UFC's Flyweight tournament, which will eventually crown the first ever UFC Flyweight Champion.
Jared Hamman was expected to face Kyle Noke at this event, but withdrew from the bout due to an injury. Noke will instead face promotional newcomer Andrew Craig.
Robbie Peralta was expected to rematch Mackens Semerzier at this event, but pulled out of the bout due to an injury. Semerzier will instead face Daniel Pineda.
Ticket sales for the event have been slower than the two previous UFC events held in Australia, UFC 110 and UFC 127. These events led to record ticket-sales, with UFC 110 becoming the second fastest sell-out in UFC history and UFC 127 equaled the fastest sell-out (30 minutes). Though tickets went on sale on 21 December 2011, by mid-February 2012 tickets were still available. Slow ticket sales are probably due to the headline fights having less UFC stars than previous events and the fact that it is not a pay per view. The lackluster card has drawn some negative comments from fans, fueling speculation that a second UFC event will be held in Australia in 2012.
