Aussie George Sotiropolous doesn’t expect home-field advantage at UFC 110

Maybe it’s because he’s spent little time in Australia since his quest for MMA greatness began, but UFC lightweight George Sotiropoulos said his roots matter little when he steps into the cage against Joe “Daddy” Stevenson at this weekend’s UFC 110 event in Sydney.

Instead Sotiropoulos said it’s about the performance he puts on, not the flag he flies.

“It’s pleasing to me to fight in my home country and to perform at a venue like the Acer Arena, but that won’t automatically make me beat Joe Stevenson on Feb. 21,” Sotiropoulos said. “Once I walk into the cage, it’s all irrelevant.”
