The floodgates are officially open.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) today rattled off another proposed match-up for its upcoming UFC 132 fight card by pitting German kickboxer Dennis Siver against the "Handsome" Matt Wiman on July 2 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Siver (18-7) is fresh off his bookie-busting upset over George Sotiropoulos back at UFC 127: "Penn vs. Fitch" on February 27 in Sydney, Australia.
It was the third straight win for the stocky super-striker, who's quietly assembled a 7-1 record over his last eight fights and could find himself cutting the contender's line with a decisive win in "Sin City."
But that's hardly a foregone conclusion against his streaking opponent.
Wiman (13-5) has been doing some feather-ruffling of his own, battling back from a two-fight losing skid (and possible pink slip) to rattle off three straight wins including his recent upset over Cole Miller at UFC: "Fight for the Troops 2" earlier this year.
A win over Siver is likely to earn him a top five opponent in the promotion's stacked 155-pound division.
UFC 132 is likely to feature the welterweight rematch between B.J. Penn and Jon Fitch while lightweight standouts Melvin Guillard and Shane Roller are also expected to throw down.
