Brando Pericic
The Balkan Bear
Australia
To debut in home country
Pericic will take on Elisha Ellison in a heavyweight matchup at UFC Perth on September 27, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Pericic is a 31-year-old heavyweight with just five professional fights under his belt, with all of them coming under regional, New Zealand-based promotions. He trains at a great gym in City Kickboxing -- the same place UFC staples like Israel Adesanya, Dan Hooker, Carlos Ulberg and Kai Kara-France call home. "The Balkan Bear" now gets a chance to debut in his home country against a fellow raw prospect, as Ellison is also a regional, debuting fighter with just six professional MMA fights to date.
