OBERHAUSEN, Germany – Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight Dennis Siver used to be nothing more than a local fighter who helped fill out the preliminary cards of overseas events.
The UFC employs dozens of such fighters – mid-level, region-specific fighters who help the organization sell tickets and fill arenas for Europe’s untelevised lineups.
But a funny thing happened with the German fighter, who picked up his latest victory at Saturday’s UFC 122 event.
