Good fight

Bit of a step down though isn't it?

Good fight, but step down

Well there isn't many people above where Sots was ranked (he was overrated) and I don't really think Siver should be a fight away from a title shot personally. Good action fight, Wiman coming off a walk through of Cole Miller. I'm down

Siver deserved better. Would've liked to see Siver-Sherk.

A step down is what everyone was saying when Soto was matched with Siver so who knows.

They did that because they overvalued his takedowns. For that matter it was a step down despite what happened. George was on a roll having demolished Stevenson, Pellegrino, and Lauzon. People were saying he should be in talks for a title shot. Fighting someone ranked that much lower at least in terms of title contention is dangerous because climbing back up the ladder in the event you do lose is much more difficult. Had George lost to Jim Miller or Gray Maynard nobody would be calling him overrated.

So, by defeating Sot he inherits Sot's "Take a step back after every win until you meet your Siver" title.

Funny Sot's next fight is against a better fighter than the guy who just beat him is facing.

Dunham was a guy on the rise nearing a Title shot, loses to Melvin.

Sot was a guy on the rise nearing a Title shot, loses to Siver

Dunham vs. Sot then makes sense

But Siver and Melvin are rewarded with Wiman and Roller?

Them fighting each other seems right almost, one of em vs the winner of Miller/Shalauros would be good too.

Probably would've fought each other but Mel just knocked Siver out like 3? fights ago. This fight makes more sense to me than Mel-Roller. FOTN candidate for sure, big chance for Wiman to run with Siver's momentum and Siver has to prove he's got the consistency to really be considered a legitimate title contender

LW just is and has been for years as deep as it gets in the sport. It's tough to pick a lot of the time.

Great call B

Think Wiman might beat Siver actually

Yeah LW is mad deep, soo deep a lot of guys should be going over to SF.

Will have to look further into it, but leaning Wiman right now

Super impressed with his cardio that last fight, pushed a relentless pace for 3 rounds against Miller. I think he pressures Siver and takes the back half of the fight for a decision win. Atleast that's my first instinct

Think Wiman can get the takedown here.

This, although I don't think Siver would beat Sherk and I don't think he will beat Wiman. I see Wiman winning via LnP. He won't stand with Siver.

LnP? Did you see his last fight

And who the hell knows when Sherk will get back in there. His career is pretty much done at this point

He wasn't fighting Siver and I have seen Wiman fight many other times. The guy has a great wrestling base and he will use it. This isn't Cole Miller(who likes a fight on the ground) This is Dennis Siver who is probably the most vicous striker at 155lbs.

Wiman may use some GnP also, not just LnP.
