As reported by mmajunkie

There are also rumours of Canberra born MMA and BJJ expert Elvis Sinovic fighting on the night.

UFC President Dana White said: “We cannot wait to get to Sydney for UFC 110.  The Aussies love their sport so, when we first bought the UFC nine years ago, we knew Australia was one of the places we needed to get to with live fights. It’s taken us a long time to get there, but we’re now on our way and we’re coming with a card featuring some of the greatest fighters in the world.

“We will be bringing some of the biggest names in the world to Sydney plus be giving top Australian mixed martial artists the opportunity to showcase their talents in front of a home crowd.”
