In the first fight of the main card, Mirko Cro Cop busted up late replacement Anthony Perosh for two rounds before doctors were forced to stop the fight on a very bad cut. The fight was completely one sided from the opening bell and a big elbow late in the second opened a large cut above the eye of the Aussie.Amazingly, despite blood streaming into his eyes and a ton of punishment inflicted Perosh chose to fight on to the end of the round. Between rounds the doctors decided the cut was bad enough and called a halt to the contest.

The win over a late replacement did little to prove anything about where Cro Cop is in his career but he did avoid an embarrassing loss and dominated the fight as he needed to.
