UFC betting online: Australian Anthony Perosh will get a home matchup when the UFC returns to the land down under for a card in Adelaide. The 43-year old vet will face former University of Utah linebacker Sean O’Connell, who briefly appeared on the The Ultimate Fighter Season 8.
While neither fighter is really considered an impact player at 205, we can still expect an exciting fight between two low-to-mid level guys who are aware of their status in the division.

In this three-round bout, the over/under is likely to be set at 2.5 rounds, with the under being a more expensive play.
O’Connell famously made his way into the octagon when he asked Dana White for a shot in the UFC while the president was a guest on his show. White promised to give O’Connell Joe Silva’s number, and the rest is history. Fighting out of Salt Lake City, “The Real OC” has gone 1-2 in the UFC, losing his first two fights against Ryan Jimmo and Gian Villante but most recently beating Matt Van Buren.
Anthony Perosh has been in the UFC since 2010, posting a solid 8-3 record as mid-level fighter. While he hasn’t beaten anyone of note (unless you count Cyrille Diabate and Vinny Magalhaes), his three losses have come against Mirko Cro Cop, Ryan Jimmo and Ryan Bader. That’s nothing to be ashamed about. “The Hippo” has carved out a role in the UFC as a dependable fighter who never mails it in.
If you bet on Perosh vs. O’Connell, I’d lean towards Perosh in this bout. The Australian will be fighting on home soil, and he always beats the guys you’ve never heard of, like Sean O’Connell. While he may be 43-years old, there’s a reason the UFC keeps him around – it’s because he helps the UFC trim the fat off its light heavyweight roster.
