While UFC lightweight contender George Sotiropoulos carried the
expectations of a nation on his shoulders in a UFC 127 loss to Dennis
Siver, the submission ace wasn’t the only Aussi competing on native
turf.
Kyle Noke, Anthony Perosh and
transplanted New Zealander Mark Hunt all earned
victories at this weekend’s card in Sydney, Australia.
All three said the chance to claim octagon victories in front of an
enthusiastic hometown crowd was a dream come true, and all three said
they couldn’t wait for the next test in their way.
