Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Down goes Rothwell and Sinosic!

Well, this sucks

UFC.com breaks the horrible news:

A shoulder injury suffered by Elvis Sinosic has forced the cancellation of his rematch with countryman Chris Haseman, and heavyweight Ben Rothwell has been sidelined by an illness, forcing him out of his bout with Mirko Cro Cop. Australian veteran Anthony Perosh will step in to face Mirko Cro Cop.

 

This news certainly changes the dynamics of the fight card.

If Mirko doesn't win this fight then, well, let's just say he should go dig a hole for what's left of his legacy.

Update: Rothwell had "travler's flu".

I’ve seen a few of Perosh’s fights. He’s a natural light-heavyweight and not even a very good one. This is a cakewalk for Cro-Cop.

This sucks for Elvis Sinosic. He’s one of the classiest guys in the sport and it would’ve been nice to see him get his moment.
