UFC announced two changes to Saturday's PPV show
Ben Rothwell is out due to an illness and Mirko Cro Cop will instead face Anthony Perosh from Australia, who fought, losing twice, in UFC competition in 2006.
Elvis Sinosic, a local star who has gotten a lot of publicity for the show for his grudge match with Chris Haseman, pulled out due to a shoulder injury. Haseman is now off the show as there was no time to get a replacement.
Perosh (10-5), who has been fighting mostly as a light heavyweight in recent years, is a business partner in a Sydney gym with Sinosic. His UFC matches were losses to Jeff Monson and Christian Wellisch.
