The UFC will return to Australia for the third time on March 3rd.

Here's the current card (undercard after the jump as usual):

Quality free card

Alves vs Kampann is a big fight. Then the beginning of Flyweights will be awesome. I’m pumped.

It’s a super intriguing fight.

Kampmann will find a way to lose yet another fight he should win.

He did

but it is hard for me to shake the Diego and Jake fights. Hell, even against Daley he played his ooponent’s game.

The Story fight was a good first step that I hope continues against Alves.

There was absolutely no reason he should have lost the fight to Diego.

I can’t really hold that one against him.

Shields was much closer and there's an argument for him getting the nod

But Kampmann should have won every single round against Sanchez

He can win on the ground

but he does get hit a lot and Alves hits hard

I think it’s a quality free card as well. I think it is ridiculous when some MMA fans try to find the negative in this card especially with the cliches such as that it won’t attract the casuals. I’m very much looking forward to this card.

The great thing about the flyweights

Is that because they don’t have big names yet we get to have to great fights and four awesome fighters all on the same card.

"Uncle Creepy" is the best nickname ever, via accuracy.

Does Thiago Alves look like a Pitbull? Not even close.

Nice self-awareness, Mr. McCall.

I think Thiago resembles a pitbull more than anybody whose ever used that nickname.

I am so very excited for this show, if only for the Flyweight fights. Why are there only four fights on the main card?

by KyroJudo on Feb 17, 2012 8:47 PM EST reply actions  

I’m guessing it’s a 2 hour show. They have to count for the chance that each main card fight could go the distance. That’s 17 mins for each fight (counting the minute in-between rounds), plus walk-outs, commercials, and commentary, brings it to roughly 30 mins per fight (2 hrs). If any of the main card fights ends early, we’ll hopefully get to see some undercard action.

Siler

Doesn’t he usually fight at 145? Is Cole going down or Siler going up?

by TMadeBurner on Feb 17, 2012 8:48 PM EST reply actions  

Cole’s dropping to FW. He should dominate Siler.

I never thought he was all that small at 55 to be honest. What the he’ll is he going to look like at 45?

The undercard is pretty meh

But the main card is awesome. I’m pretty pumped to see Philippou again, the FLW tourney semis should be outstanding and Alves vs Kampmann is a dream fight.

Disagree

Love Cole Miller. Kyle Noke, too, but mainly because he used to be Steve Irwin’s bodyguard.

I like Miller too

He should smash Siler. You can’t convince me the rest of the undercard is all that interesting, though.

Court McGee has done a wondrous job of not losing but unfortunately, he’s getting KO’d here.

by savik on Feb 17, 2012 9:07 PM EST reply actions  

Costa is probably overrated

He beat a totally shot Rivera (barely) and KO’d a guy who hates defense. McGee is the better fighter and probably can ride out a decision.

Read my tweets or whatever - @SSReporters

by SSreporters on Feb 17, 2012 10:00 PM EST up reply actions  

McGee is really good at outworking opponents and just being a solidly well-rounded fighter. However, I am predicting that Costa will catch him in the standup and get the win.

Is the main event 3 or 5 rounds?

Also I could see the winner fighting Ellenberger.

by City Lights on Feb 18, 2012 4:53 AM EST reply actions  

Three

This and Gustafsson vs Lil Nog are going to be three rounds. Hopefully Poirier vs Chan Sung Jung will be five, and then after that we never have to ask if a main event is three or five rounds again.

I'm so excited for this card.

That weekend is going to be great. I get to see my favorite fighter (Alves) beat Kampmann, we get to see history in the makings with flyweights, and then the next night we get to see if Rousey can go home with a belt and another arm!

I will do my very best Diego Sanchez impression by saying:

YES!!!!
