(Anthony Perosh)
The UFC announced just today that "Big" Ben Rothwell is out of his fight with Mirko Cro-Cop due to illness. It is a shame because that was a fight I was looking forward to seeing where Mirko stands in the heavyweight division. Rothwell's last minute replacement is Anthony "The Hippo" Perosh, which should be a good confidence builder for Mirko seeing as Perosh has lost to any notable fighter he has faced in his pro career. Perosh's fellow Aussie and gym partner Elvis Sinosic has also pulled out of his scheduled fight with Chris Haseman due to a shoulder injury and that fight has been cancelled completely to make it a total of nine fights on the card as opposed to ten. What he was doing training hard enough to severely hurt his shoulder three days before the fight is a mystery to me.The full card now looks like this:MAIN CARD
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Cain Velasquez
Michael Bisping vs. Wanderlei Silva
George Sotiropoulos vs. Joe Stevenson
Ryan Bader vs. Keith Jardine
Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic vs. Anthony Perosh
PRELIMINARY CARD
Stephan Bonnar vs. Krzysztof Soszynski
Brian Foster vs. Chris Lytle
C.B. Dollaway vs. Goran Reljic
Igor Pokrajac vs. James Te Huna
