German UFC lightweight Dennis Siver hoping for MMA acceptance in home country

German mixed martial artist Dennis Siver hopes that mixed martial arts is accepted sooner rather than later in his country.

Silver has carved out a place in the UFC’s lightweight division. But back home, his sport is banned on TV and faces stern public opposition.

“In my opinion, the German media are giving MMA a really hard time,” Siver told MMAjunkie.com.
