Ben Rothwell

Due to a shoulder injury, “The King of Rock n’ Rumble” Elvis Sinosic has been forced out of his preliminary card rematch against Chris Haseman at UFC 110, taking place at Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia, this Saturday, Feb. 20.

The main card has also been hit. Big Ben Rothwell has been forced to withdraw from his heavyweight bout with Mirko Cro Cop due to an undisclosed illness. Filling in for Rothwell will be Anthony Perosh, a 10-5 UFC veteran who is coming off a TKO win this past December.

Perosh, who lives in Sydney, is co-owner of Sinosic Perosh Martial Arts, an MMA academy he runs with Elvis Sinosic.

Be sure to check out our exclusive interview with Sinosic we just published earlier today. We are attempting to contact “The King of Rock n’ Rumble” for a statement regarding his injury. Stay tuned to ProMMAnow.com for more on this story, as well as all your UFC 110 coverage.

    Cro Cop will smash Perosh. Actually anyone would smash Persoh. I hope they come out with lines on this fight.
