George Sotiropoulos – 5ft 10”, 155lbs – Hails from Geelong, Australia and fights out of Fisticuffs Gym inVancouver, Washington. An Ultimate Fighter season 6 veteran, Sotiropoules is now considered one of the brightest prospects in the UFC Lightweight division and is looking towards getting a few more higher profile wins under his belt to eventually gain a future showdown for the UFC Lightweight championship.
Sotiropoulos holds an MMA record of 14 – 2 and holds an undefeated record of 7 – 0 in the UFC, with highly impressive wins over Jason dent, Kurt Pellegrino, Joe Stevenson and the very highly rated Jiu Jitsu practitioner Joe Lauzon. Sotiropoulos has developed a reputation as a BJJ wizard and will always look to take the fight to the ground and finish the fight via submission. Sotiropoules also has a good boxing background winning an amateur title in his home country of Australia in 2006.

George Sotiropoulos- (-300) @ BetUS.Com
Dennis Siver – (+220) @ BetUS.Com
Dennis Siver – 5ft 7”, 155lbs – is a German/Russian fighter hailing from Mannheim, Germany and represents the OC Fight Team. Siva is a very well rounded lightweight fighter who is at home wherever the fight may take him and utilises Kickboxing, Sambo and BJJ in his offensive arsenal. Siver is also an extremely powerful fighter with excellent takedowns and a highly impressive Shoot fighting style.
Siver holds an MMA record of 17 – 7 and this is his second spell in the UFC after his initial run with the company when he was released after only winning 1 of his 4 fights in the octagon. Since his return to the UFC in 2009 Sivers has earned a record of 5 – 1 with 2 Knockout of the night awards and a fight of the night bonus against Ross Pearson in a great back and forth fight and he was also recently awarded a ‘submission of the night’ bonus defeating Andre Winner via rear naked choke in the very first round at UFC 122.
George Sotiropoulos vs Dennis Siver Prediction
Another excellent match up stylistically, with both fighters possessing reasonable stand up games but both excelling when it comes to the ground, particularly when utilising submissions. Sotiropoulos will have a slight height advantage and his longer limbs will be very handy in the guard and whilst trying to transition for the tap out; however Siver is no slouch on the mat and has the advantage of his sheer girth and strength to help him out if the situation becomes difficult. I feel that even though Sotiropoules does possess a boxing background, he is actually not that great utilising it in MMA and is always looking to finish the fight on the ground; if Siver is to take advantage of this weakness and has worked hard on his ‘dirty boxing’ and the clinch, Siver may be able to gain the upper hand and takedown his stunned opponent and finish him. Both fighters are looking to really increase their profiles in the UFC and the winner of this match will be elevated to the top of the pile. I predict Siver to take the win via TKO late in the 2nd round.
George Sotiropoulos vs Dennis Siver Prediction – Siver Via TKO.
