We moved our Liverpool MMA, BJJ and Muay Thai Kickboxing gym to Moorebank. We opened Monday 10th March at our new location. It is a much bigger and better place than our previous one. It has a much better training feel to it. All of the students are very happy with the move and new facilities. On top of that it is easy to get to and there is unlimited free parking. We will be having a Grand Reopening Day on Sunday 13th April.
I am 41 years young and very happy that TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) is now banned in the UFC! In my opinion it is necessary so fighters are on a level playing field with others and no individual has an unfair advantage.
I have always kept an active and healthy lifestyle. If you do this you don’t need TRT. I just had my Testosterone levels checked and I am within normal healthy limits.
I run and own two MMA and BJJ gyms in Sydney teaching 600 students. I lead by example and hope to be an inspiration not only to my students but also other fighters, MMA fans and everyone else.
I am number 3 on the list of active UFC fighters for most submission in the UFC light heavyweight division with 9 submissions.
I am 6th on the list of active UFC fighters with 100% finishing rates.
Here are some stats about me:
I had the honour and privilege of being best man at the wedding of my brother John Perosh and his beautiful wife Rawaa Li. They got married on the 15th February 2014 at Clovelly Beach in Sydney, Australia. John is my younger brother and is an athlete himself playing soccer professionally for 15 years in Australia and representing Australia in the under 19s. He is my rock! I wish them both a lifetime of love and happiness.
The UFC Fit (Full body Intensity Training) trainer course was run at UFC Gym Sydney on 29th January by Rob “Razor” McCullough. Rob is a former WEC World Lightweight Champion. There were about 20 instructors including myself. We were shown and then practiced all the techniques and then practiced running a class. It is a great workout for the non fighter and a good introduction to MMA fitness training.
There is no link with MMA to coward punching and the violence on Sydney streets. That is my opinion and the opinion of the majority of people. Unfortunately there is a very small minority out there who cause trouble on the streets of Sydney. Here is an interview I recently did with Adam Ireland of MMA Kanvas talking about MMA, coward punchers and violence on Sydney streets.
I hope everyone had a Happy New Year. Time to get back to training. My two gyms opened up for 2014 on Monday 6th January with the full timetable. It was great to be back and see so many students on day one.
The UFC tweeted this at the start of the year …#UFC2013 Facts: shortest fight of the year, @AnthonyPerosh vs @VinnyMMA, 14 seconds at #UFC 163.
Here is the video.
Here are some photos from my preparation and match with Ryan Bader at UFC Fight Night 33 in Brisbane on 7th December. There are photos of my training, weight cut, weigh in, my fight and more. Hope you enjoy them.
