I read a report that 112 isn’t set in stone for Abu Dhabi yet.

Over at MMA Payout they say that this is in fact not set in stone in Abu Dhabi since there’s no indoor arena and the avg temp for April is 102 so an outside event could be tough.

It lists Dublin and Vegas as potential back-ups, but SF is trying to have a show in Vegas either April 10 or 17 so it could be Dublin

Manchester is also being reported as a backup site.

Hmm, apparently Dana told Terry’s camp he would definitely be on the main card for his next bout. I think he deserves it.

both of these guys deserve it. Siver has looked absolutely sick since his KO loss to Guillard. He’s on a 4 fight streak that includes 2 separate KO’s by spinning back kick and punches. He is an exciting fighter and I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about him.

Even in this picture.....

Half of a Dana is still bigger than either one of these guys.

Too much Pinkberry.

This is going to be an incredibly entertaining fight, and actually relevant!

That being said, Siver Via

I'd like to see the winner of this fight

get a top-ten lightweight for a next bout, instead of all the incestual booking that happens with the European fighters.

by Scott Haber on Jan 17, 2010 2:36 PM EST reply actions

Yeah I kinda agree, Paul Taylor vs John Hathaway is a good example of pointless all-European fights. I say give Etim Melvin Guillard, would be a good fight, I could see Etim winning by submission

HELL YEAH~ I'm so pumped up for this fight

This fight will be ended being one of the BONUS WINNERS declared by UFC.

Denis Siver who is a German Russian fighter won 2 KNOCK OUT OF THE NIGHT bonuses in UFC so far. His MMA record is 21-15-6. Oh yeah I think he’s from Judo background as well as

Terry Etim who is a British fighter won 3 SUBMISSION OF THE NIGHT bonuses in UFC so far. His MMA record standing 16-14-2

Both of these dudes can strangle you or spinning back kick you if they feel like it LOL. :P

I’m rooting for Terry Etim. He has an unbelievable concentration in the entire moment of fight and Etim reminds of Big Nog because these two won’t ever let go of their slightest chance of submission hold.
