Background


The event was originally expected to take place on September 7, 2012 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Louis Gaudinot was expected to face Darren Uyenoyama at the event; however, Gaudinot was forced out of the bout with an injury and replaced by promotional newcomer Phil Harris.

A bout between Rob Broughton and Matt Mitrione, originally scheduled for UFC on Fox: Shogun vs. Vera and then briefly linked to this event, was scrapped after Broughton was forced out of the bout for a second time.

As a result of the cancellation of UFC 151, bouts between Jake Ellenberger vs. Jay Hieron, Danny Castillo vs. Michael Johnson, Shane Roller vs. Jacob Volkmann and Dennis Hallman vs. Thiago Tavares were rescheduled for this event.

It has been announced that the fight between John Dodson and Jussier da Silva will be a title elimination bout with the winner to be the first man to challenge the newly crowned UFC Flyweight champion, Demetrious Johnson.

The bout between Dennis Hallman and Thiago Tavares was expected to take place at this event; however, UFC officials cancelled the fight before the fighters stepped on the scale, because Hallman had missed weight significantly. He was reportedly paid his show and win money, received support of UFC President Dana White and Hallman was subsequently released from the organization.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Dennis Hallman vs. Thiago Tavares lightweight fight, scheduled to take place Friday night on the UFC on FX 5 prelims, has been canceled because Hallman failed to make weight Thursday.

This marks the second straight fight Hallman failed to make weight for, however, the 16-year-veteran told MMAFighting.com following the weigh-ins that his misstep was related to a personal issue.

"I'm having some personal issues at home," Hallman said. "I'm not fit to fight. I told Dana [White] what my issues were. He understands family matters, and he was cool with me not fighting."

According to Hallman he passed out earlier today while cutting weight. At that time, he was two pounds over the 156-pound weight limit. He was then given fluids via an intravenous, which bumped him up to seven pounds over the lightweight limit.

When Tavares was notified of this news, he said that if Hallman got down to three pounds over the limit, he would accept the fight at a catchweight. Hallman told MMAFighting.com that he did just that, but according to Hallman, Tavares then asked for him to cut one more pound.

It was at that point that Hallman spoke to White about his personal issues and requested to be removed from the card. He said White was very understanding when he told him about his issues, which he wanted to keep private.

According to Hallman, who also said he has not been released from his contract, he will be paid his show money. UFC sources told MMAFighting.com earlier in the day that Tavares will receive his show money as well.

UFC officials refused to comment on Hallman's future with the company.

Hallman, a veteran of over 80 professional MMA fights, is the longest-tenured fighter on the current UFC roster. He is coming off a first-round submission win over John Makdessi at UFC 140, a lightweight fight he missed weight for by two and a half pounds.
