UFC 132 Results: What’s Next for Dennis Siver with a Win
Bleacher Report’s Sean Smith
UFC 132 will take place on Saturday, July 2 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV. The main event will feature the first UFC bantamweight title fight ever as Dominick Cruz defends his title against the only feature to ever defeat him, Urijah Faber.
The co-main event will feature the long awaited return of Wanderlei Silva, who is set to face Chris Leben. Also appearing on the main card will be Tito Ortiz who will be fighting for his UFC career when he faces Ryan Bader.
After defeating George Sotiropoulos in his last fight, Dennis Siver became widely regarded as a lightweight contender. Many expected that Siver would land a fight with a big-name opponent, but he will be fighting the underrated Matt Wiman at UFC 132.
With Wiman being a wrestler, Siver’s takedown defense will be tested even more than it had been in his fight with Sotiropoulos. If Siver passes the test once again, he can rest assured that his next fight will be against another contender.
Currently, the top of the lightweight division is log-jammed with the injury of UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar, so there are plenty of options for Siver if he defeats Wiman. Some potential matchups include welcoming Sean Sherk back to the Octagon or a battle between diverse strikers with Anthony Pettis.
