After Cam Rowston earned his contract last season on Dana White’s Contender Series, the Australian middleweight and City Kickboxing representative lobbied for an opportunity to compete on the UFC Fight Night event schedule for Perth just a few weeks later.
When his request was granted, the lanky new arrival explained that getting to fight in his home country was important because the friends and family who traveled to see him compete in in the middle of nowhere only needed to endure a 3-hour flight to see him fight on the biggest stage in the sport at RAC Arena.
