I completely missed this before, because, to be honest, I did not look that far down the Fight Card, but it has now come to my attention that there is an Aussie fighter on the card – Anthony Perosh, from Sydney will be making his UFC debut. Anthony is the training partner of Elvis Sinosic, who had a great debut back in UFC 32, submitting the No. 1 light heavyweight contender Jeremy Horn, but has not done so well since. Together they run the Sinosic Perosh Martial Arts school in Sydney.

Anthony will be fighting Jeff Monson, who has much more MMA experience, having fought several times in the UFC, with a couple of wins under his belt. Monson is by far the favourite in this fight, with Perosh seen as pretty much an unknown newcomer.

Anthony’s last MMA fight was at Warriors Realm 5, on the 25th of February, on the Sunshine Coast, when he beat Ross Dallow by submission. He has won the Australian BJJ Championships many times and has been making his way up in the world of MMA for several years.

Here’s a video you can dowload of his MMA highlights.

While looking up some info on Anthony Perosh I just came across 2 petitions to get the UFC back on Australian Pay-per-View. It used to be shown here a couple of years, but I guess did not get enough support. Surely its time to reconsider!

Best of butt-kicking luck to Anthony Perosh tonight. And I’ll just say it one more time – damn, I wish this event was being broadcast in Australia.
