UFC on Fuel TV: Struve vs. Miocic UFC on FX: Browne vs. Bigfoot UFC 153: Silva vs. Bonnar

UFC on FX: Browne vs. Bigfoot (also known as UFC on FX 5) was a mixed martial arts event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on October 5, 2012 at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was the fifth UFC event broadcast live on FX.[3]

Background

The event was originally expected to take place on September 7, 2012 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana.[4]

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.[5]

A bout between Rob Broughton and Matt Mitrione, originally scheduled for UFC on Fox: Shogun vs. Vera and then briefly linked to this event,[6] was scrapped after Broughton was forced out of the bout for a second time.[7]

As a result of the cancellation of UFC 151, bouts between Jake Ellenberger vs. Jay Hieron,[8] Danny Castillo vs. Michael Johnson, Shane Roller vs. Jacob Volkmann[9] and Dennis Hallman vs. Thiago Tavares were rescheduled for this event.[10]

The fight between John Dodson and Jussier Formiga was a title elimination bout with the winner being the first man to challenge the newly crowned UFC Flyweight champion, Demetrious Johnson.[11]

A 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. Hallman was reportedly paid his show and win money, but was released from the organization.[12][13]

Jeremy Stephens and Yves Edwards were scheduled to fight on this card, but the bout was cancelled due to Stephens being arrested on the day of the event for an assault charge that dates back to 2011.[14]
