UFN 21 - Ross Pearson looking forward to fight with “dangerous” Siver

“Ultimate Fighter” season nine lightweight winner, Ross Pearson has been speaking ahead of his UFC Fight Night 21 showdown with Dennis Siver, saying he’s looking forward to finding out which of the two men are going to take a step towards the big time.

Speaking via UFC.com, Pearson said:

“I’d seen Dennis fight before quite a few times and most recently at the UFC 105 card in Manchester. His name got the heart racing a bit. He’s a good fighter and dangerous. He’s got one-punch power, fast hands, and he’s powerful and explosive. He’s a very skilful fighter. A lot of other fighters at this stage in their career might try and avoid a fighter like Siver. I’m just excited to prepare for a guy like him. It doesn’t scare me. I’m really confident of beating Siver, but I just feel he’s got a bit more of a danger factor than [Aaron] Riley did.”

“Siver is ranked number two in Europe and I’m at number three. I’m a little bit younger than him, but we’re both at a stage now where we want to step up in competition and start mixing it with the big names in big fights. We’re meeting at a great stage in our careers and this fight will ultimately prove which of us is ready to break into the big time first.”

Pearson made his full UFC debut at UFC 105 in November, defeating dangerous veteran, Aaron Riley via doctors stoppage. How will the man from the North East of England cope with the German’s spinning back kicks that have proved to be so dangerous in the past?
