Showdown-Under: James Te Huna Versus Igor Pokrajac at UFC 110 in Australia
By: Fighters.com Staff Posted On: January 16, 2010 at 1:21pm
The UFC officially announced a rumored matchup between New Zealand’s James Te Huna (11-4) and Croatian light heavyweight Igor Pokrajac (14-6) at UFC 110 in Sydney February 20.
Fighters.com profiled the top prospect Down Under after he knocked out two-time UFC fighter “Hippo” Anthony Perosh (6-4) in 2:21 to win the Cage Fighting Championship’s Light Heavyweight Grand Prix at CFC 10 in Sydney August 21.
Te Huna was actually signed by PRIDE in 2007, shortly before the organization was bought by the UFC’s parent company, Zuffa, LLC. Te Huna never got the opportunity to fight for PRIDE and his contract wasn’t picked up by the UFC after buyout.
Pokrajac lost a three-round unanimous decision to “Janitor” Vladimir Matyushenko (23-4) at UFC 103 in Dallas September 19.
