Siver had already been rumored for the event due to it being in his home country. Siver's first stint in the UFC wasn't very successful, as he went 1-3 before being released. After winning a fight outside of the organization, Siver was brought back, and he's done much better for himself since then. Siver's gone 4-1 in his last five appearances in the Octagon, most recently defeating Spencer Fisher by decision at The Ultimate Fighter 11 finale in June. Winner, meanwhile, looks to move past his second loss in the Octagon, suffered by decision to Nik Lentz at UFC 118. Winner found himself pinned against the cage for much of the fight as he held off the takedown attempts of Lentz, but due to positional control he lost the decision. UFC 122 takes place on November 13 from the König Pilsener Arena in Oberhausen, Germany. The event will air via tape delay in the U.S. on Spike TV, and will be headlined by a middleweight bout between Vitor Belfort and Yushin Okami. Link to Original Source Article Penick's Analysis: This should be a much better fight for Winner, as Siver will not be uncomfortable striking with him and won't be looking to take this one to the ground. Actually it should be a very good stylistic match up for this card and could prove to be quite entertaining. That's kind of the theme of this card. The match ups are intriguing from a stylistic standpoint, but they're not necessarily exciting on paper. © Copyright by MMATorch.com |
