Timeline

1972

Anthony Perosh (born 5 October 1972 ) is a retired Australian professional mixed martial artist who competed in the Light Heavyweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Perosh was born and raised in Sydney, Australia and is of Croatian descent, as both of his parents are Croatian immigrants.

Perosh began training in martial arts while doing security work to help pay for college tuition.

1995

The training would help him in working security and he began his training in 1995 with Paul Zadro, when he was 23 years old.

This original training was in Kempo Karate and Muay Thai, before he learned about Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

1997

In 1997 Perosh moved to Dallas, Texas to train with Carlos Machado (A World BJJ Champion) for over two years.

2003

In 2003, Machado presented Perosh with a black belt in Machado Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Perosh is now a fourth-degree black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, still under Machado.

Perosh trained to compete in mixed martial arts after he received his black belt when he was 31 years old.

Perosh made his professional mixed martial arts debut on 29 November 2003 defeating Api Hemara by first-round rear-naked choke submission.

Perosh went on to fight two more times that night, winning both bouts by submission.

He was invited to the UFC after compiling a 5–1 record with his only loss coming to 11–0 Sam Nest, by the way of decision.

His UFC debut came not only against a fellow ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship grappler, but against an ADCC Champion Jeff Monson at UFC 61.

With both Monson and Perosh's Brazilian jiu-jitsu skills being cancelled out, the fight saw Monson instead win by technical knockout that subsequently led to a fight with Tim Sylvia for the UFC Heavyweight Championship.

His next fight came against Christian Wellisch at UFC 66 in a bloody brawl that saw both fighters knock each other down along with Perosh earning more takedowns while Wellisch landed more strikes.

The win could have gone to either fighter, but the judges gave it unanimously to Wellisch.

Perosh was released from the UFC following the fight.

2009

On 22 May 2009, Perosh won the quarter-final match against Nate Carey at CFC 8.

He also won the semi-final match against Dave Frendin at CFC 9 on 11 July 2009.

On 21 August 2009, Perosh was defeated by future UFC veteran James Te-Huna in the finals, at CFC 10.

Te-Huna controversially stomped on Perosh when he was down at the end of the fight but was not given a punishment.

2010

At UFC 110, the UFC's debut event in Australia on 20 February 2010, Perosh made his return to the UFC filling in as a late replacement for Ben Rothwell against legendary kickboxer and former 2006 Pride World Grand Prix Openweight Champion Mirko Cro Cop on a mere two days notice.

Doctors called an end to the fight with Cro Cop at the end of the second round, as Perosh was bleeding from a cut sustained midway through the 2nd round by a vicious elbow from his opponent.

Although he lost, Perosh was given a four-fight contract with the UFC for stepping in on late notice against such a great opponent.

On 27 March 2010, Perosh announced he would be undergoing knee surgery in the coming weeks and that he hoped that his next fight in the UFC would take place sometime in September 2010.

In his light heavyweight debut at UFC 127, Perosh quickly defeated English fighter Tom Blackledge to finally capture his first win in the UFC.

He won the fight by rear-naked choke submission at 2:45 of the first round in front of his hometown crowd in Sydney, Australia; he stated post-fight that he feels much stronger at light heavyweight and would like to see how far he can go in his new weight class.

However, Perosh was forced from the bout with an eye injury and was replaced by Igor Pokrajac.
