George Sotiropoulos new upcoming star in UFC

Postby georgios100 » Mon Mar 01, 2010 3:55 pm

Not sure if UFC fights are popular in Cyprus. These events are MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), the fastest growing sport in the USA.

The latest UFC 110 took place at Sidney, Australia, late February 2010.
George Sotiropoulos was on the card to fight Joe Stevenson.

Not sure if he is Greek (mainland) or Greek Cypriot. The link below is his official profile from UFC.com
http://www.ufc.com/GeorgeSotiropoulos

He is fighting off Victoria ,Australia. Perhaps some of the Aussies on this forum can provide us with more details of his origin. His ground game is one of the best in the world.

I wish he is Cypriot but "Sotiropoulos" sounds like of Greek mainland decent, probably diaspora, 2nd or 3rd generation. Nice to see a guy like him participating and winning in the MMA, a sport dominated by Brazilians.

Yeah, I agree.

During the interview, when the fight ended, he spoke perfect "Australian", so he must be born in Australia from Greek parents... This guy will go far but will run out of time (32 years old).
