Sometimes it’s the events that look the weakest on paper that end up delivering the biggest surprises on fight night. It just so happens that UFC 122 was not one of those events.
With the majority of the main card bouts ending in decisions and possibly the most interesting match-up being pulled altogether in the final hour, I think it’s safe to say that no one’s going to be telling their grandchildren where they were the night the UFC came to Oberhausen.
That’s just how it goes in this business sometimes. All you can do is move on to the next one and hope the stars align on some other night. Until then, let’s sift through the rubble to find out who are the biggest winners, losers, and everything in between after UFC 122.

In a battle of two European lightweights, Germany’s Dennis Siver put on a great show in front of the hometown fans in Oberhausen, Germany, submitting England’s Andre Winner in the first round of their fight Saturday at UFC 122.
“Thank you very much to the German crowd, to the German public,” the victorious Siver said afterward. “It was my duty to win here. It was the most important thing in my life.”
Siver first dropped Winner with a big left hand to the nose, then pounced on Winner on the ground, took his back, and sunk in a rear-naked choke to force Winner to tap at 3:37 of the first round. It was an extremely impressive showing for the well-rounded Siver, improving his professional record to 17-7, including nine wins by submission.

When last we left the Fighter vs. Writer series, I came to what I choose to think of as a very respectable draw against Jason “Mayhem” Miller. You could point out that if I hadn’t felt the need to be contrary and pick Martin Kampmann over Jake Shields, I would have won. To that I’d say, ‘You’re right, you jerk. I guess you just know everything, don’t you?’
But rather than dwell on hypothetical conversations that exist only in my head, we move forward to UFC 122 and a fight-picking showdown with former “Ultimate Fighter” contestant and recent Sportscenter highlight-maker Gerald Harris, who took some time out from training for his fight at UFC 123 next weekend to match wits with me.
Unlike Gerald, I haven’t slammed my way on to ESPN (yet), but I feel pretty good about my prognosticating powers this week. That is why I now turn awkwardly toward the “Hurricane” and utter the four most important words in the English language: You wanna do it?

European MMA fighters like Dennis Siver don’t often get the chance to fight in front of a home crowd. The UFC made its first trip to continental Europe just last year, and this is only the organization’s second event in Germany, where the reception to the sport has been mixed.
That’s why when Siver, a German-Russian lightweight who’s been with the UFC on and off (though mostly on) since 2007, takes on British “Ultimate Fighter” finalist Andre Winner at UFC 122 on Saturday, it’s a fight that comes with a special kind of pressure. When your countrymen rarely get to see you ply your trade, you certainly don’t want to have them pack an arena just to see you get beat up by a citizen from one of your nation’s soccer rivals.
But despite all that added pressure, as Siver told MMA Fighting through a translator this week, the irony is that he’s far less famous as a fighter when he’s in his own country.
