Sotiropoulos to fight Siver at UFC 127
- Thread starter Nastycrow
- Start date
Tried to watch the presser, but it was a nightmare of buffering and digitalization errors (seriously, why not an audio-only option?)
Did Dana say that this would be a pretty good chance at a title shot (without the guarantee, as we've seen in the past) for the winner?
Man can they feed G Strot an easier title shot? Siver is no where near a top level fight - guess that is what beating Andre Winer gets you :lol:
G Strot is good but how does he avoid a top 5 LW before a title shot? Give him one of BJ, Maynard, Diaz, Florian, Gomi, Dunham, Shrek before you give him a title shot with a win over Dennis Siver? That is the UFC trying to capitalize on a big fight overseas for the belt! bulls---
I know Sots has to fight on the aussie card but giving him Siver wtf are they thinking? Sots is 7-0 in the UFC and just submitted Joe Lauzon with wins over Joe Daddy and Kurt who are BJJ black belts and now they think it would be a good idea to give him Siver who just subbed a nobody and is like 6-4 UFC yeah that makes sense :? Give him Sherk or someone higher up the food chain.

Yeah, lame as imo. Soto - Sherk would be a better fight.

Heres how I see it going, Soto comes into Australia and gets a slick sub and Dana announces that he will fight for the title, then the title holder (Maynard) comes into the cage, Australia goes nuts, but I figured since Siver is one of Germanys biggest start they would want him to get another solid win, and then a big fight for him win he goes back home.
It seems Sotiropoulos is moving backwards when it comes to who he is fighting. A win over Joe Stevenson should not got you a fight with Kurt Pellgrino...IMO that is moving down the rankings...then a win over Pelligrino should not get you a fight with Joe Lauzon...still moving backwards....and finally how does a win over Lauzon get you Siver?? i think Siver is underrated and an up in comer but i still think Sotiropoulos should be fighting top talent at some point. I think if Nate Diaz wants to come down to 155 again then Sotiropoulos would be a good fight...Kenflo would also be a good fight....Sherk would be a good fight

Hes like Brad Pitt from the one movie traveling backwards, I hope he wins, he should get Gabe Ruediger before the title fight.

I see what you did there.
Possibly. I must admit I haven't looked over the 155 roster and who's booked who's not etc, but I think he really deserves a bigger name. Check out his record, he's only real loss is to Kyle Noke, a 185 pounder who just beat up Kimmons. He is a legit guy.
