UFC veteran Perosh steps away from Octagon

Anthony Perosh was on the outside looking in when the UFC made its first visit to his native Sydney, Australia in February of 2010. On site to support his friend Elvis Sinosic, Perosh had gone 5-2 since his 0-2 stint in the Octagon in 2006, but when Ben Rothwell fell ill the week of UFC 110, “The Hippo” was in the right place at the right time to accelerate his return. Perosh took a fight with Mirko Cro Cop on two days’ notice, and while he lost the fight, he won so much more.&
