THE biggest name Australian fighter on the UFC 110 card, George Sotiropoulos faced Joe Stevenson in a lightweight battle with real implications for the rankings and title picture. Both fighters came out swinging With Sotiropoulos having a reach advantage he controlled ranged before shooting for a take down. Stevenson fought it off before trying an ill-advised throw that landed him on his back. Stevenson came out landing strikes but Sotiropoulos began to land with strikes of his own, usually as counters. Soon Sotiropoulos was landing with impunity, to the head and body. In the final round, Sotiropoulos came out swinging, forcing the Yank back. Sotiropoulos went for a head scissors or crucifix and ended up on his back with Stevenson working on top. Stevenson fought off an up kick then got reversed. The end result was a very convincing win to the Aussie.

LESS than 48 hours after his UFC 110 second round TKO loss to Mirko Crocop, Australian MMA fighter Anthony Perosh has secured himself a brand new 4-fight deal with the UFC. Perosh took the bout with Crocop in the final couple of days leading in to the UFC 110 Australia event, as a last second replacement for a sick Ben Rothwell. Anthony had previously stated that his goal coming in to 2010 was to rack up enough wins to get back in the UFC again, ironically it was a loss that secured him not only entry back in to the UFC, but a 4 fight deal. On behalf of the THUMP Boxing community, we would like to wish Anthony all the best for the rest of 2010 & his return to the UFC.
