With Anthony Perosh off the UFC on FX 6 fight card in December due to nearly having his toe ripped off, the UFC needed to find a replacement to fight Perosh’s scheduled opponent, Joey Beltran.
Stepping in for Perosh will be Croatian fighter Igor Pokrajac.
UFC officials today announced the change to the Dec. 14 fight card, which takes place at Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre in Broadbeach, Gold Coast, Australia.
Beltran (14-8) returned from a brief stint outside the UFC last July when he lost a one-sided decision to James Te Huna. The bout was Beltran’s first as a light heavyweight, however is did not help him get out of his slump inside the Octagon as he has lost three-straight in the UFC.
Pokrajac (25-9) had his three-fight win-streak broken in September when he was submitted by Vinny Magalhaes in the second round of their UFC 152 affair. ‘The Duke’ will attempt to get back on track at UFC on FX 6 while simultaneously attempting to hand Beltran his walking papers.

The power of the internet is anyone with a fake username and a keyboard can say anything they like. Ever since the fighter insurance was implemented in the Ultimate Fighting Championship social media has been a buzz with fans suggesting the athletes are pulling out of action for a toothache on the regular.
I don’t think that will be the case for Anthony Perosh.
