After native son George Sotiropoulos (12-2 MMA, 5-0 UFC) turned in the
fight of his life against the highly respected Joe Stevenson (31-11
MMA, 8-5 UFC) at UFC 110 in Sydney, Australia, the local media
immediately wanted to know what the local boy’s chances were for a shot
at the title.
UFC president Dana White let the Australian media know to tap the
brakes on that discussion, but he did say Sotiropoulos had definitely
carved out a spot in the lightweight title picture with the one-sided
unanimous decision win.
It was, perhaps, to be expected.

To borrow a line from Georges St-Pierre, Michael Bisping was not impressed by his opponent’s performance at UFC 110.
Sure, the end result of the 15-minute contest saw Wanderlei Silva earn
his first victory at 185 pounds, but at the evening’s post-event press
conference, Bisping said he believes he made a strong case for a
victory in the judges’ eyes.
“I don’t know,” Bisping said. “It was a close fight. Personally, I think I won rounds one and two.”

While it certainly wasn’t quite vintage “Cro Cop” at UFC 110, Mirko
Filipovic’s second-round TKO over late-replacement Anthony Perosh did
get the Croatian back in the win column.
At the evening’s post-event press conference, Filipovic said his
renewed focus on training means he’s still got plenty to offer the
world of mixed martial arts.
Meanwhile, UFC president Dana White said the Croatian striker will
likely get a chance to prove that against his originally scheduled
opponent, Ben Rothwell, very soon.

While the UFC’s first-ever trip to Australia certainly delivered on
in-cage action, “UFC 110: Nogueira vs. Velasquez” didn’t do too bad at
the box office, either.
At the UFC 100 post-event press conference, UFC president Dana
White said the event drew 17,831 attendees to Acer Arena in Sydney,
Australia, for a reported $2.5 million gate.
While attendance figures outside of North America are rarely certified
by local commissions, the reported figure marks the highest total ever claimed by the UFC for an event outside of North America.
