Crocop beats Anthony Perosh on cuts after two rounds

A single elbow from Mirko "Crocop" Filipovic eventually ended the night for late replacement foe Anthony Perosh at UFC 110 today.

Perosh (10-6) lasted10 minutes against Filipovic (26-7) before the fight was stopped after the second round because of a deep cut on the head that caused blood to flow into his eyes. The cut was opened by a left elbow strike from Filipovic while Perosh was on the mat.

The fight was paused soon after the gash appeared to have the wound examined. A cutman said he could not close the cut, yet Perosh said he would carry on, much to Filipovic's surprise.

But once the round ended, doctors recommended that the fight stop.

"I appreciate his courage and his guts," said Filipovic, praising not only Perosh's desire to ifight with the cut, but also his willingness to take the fight with only a few days notice as a replacement for Ben Rothwell, who reportedly came down with a stomach virus.

Filipovic spent much of the fight stuffing Perosh's takedown shots. Although Filipovic never connected with his famous left high kick, he landed several left hands in the first round and connected on kicks to the body in the second.
