UFC President, Dana White has revealed that lightweight submission machine, George Sotiropolous could book himself a shot at the title if he manages to defeat Dennis Siver next weekend at UFC 127 in him own backyard of Sydney, Australia.
Speaking during a recent conference call, Dana said:

“If he can win and pull this fight out, he’s in the line for the title shot. There’s no doubt about it. This kid has been on a tear. He’s so incredibly exciting to watch. You know, a lot of people talk about standup wars. Well, I love jiu-jitsu wars, too, and this guy has been in a ton of them. He’s very exciting, very fun to watch and incredibly talented. And if he wins, he’s on his way.”

“You know, we created ‘TUF’ to find the new up-and-coming talent guys who hopefully can become world champion someday. You never know when you’re there watching them on the show, but you only hope.”

The Aussie has made a remarkable run up the lightweight ranks since coming off the hit reality TV show, defeating the likes of former title contender, Joe Stevenson and perennial grappler, Joe Lauzon. How will he cope with the power of Siver Down Under?
