UFC 105: Paul Kelly vs Dennis Siver in the works for Nov. 14

by Jesse Holland on Aug 21, 2009 8:35 AM EDT

Former welterweight and current Wolfslair product Paul Kelly (9-1) is looking for his second straight win at 155-pounds when he tangles with Germany's Dennis Siver (14-6) at the upcoming UFC 105 event expected for the Manchester Evening News (MEN) Arena in Manchester, England, on November 14 according to Fighter's Only.

"Telly's" made the drop in weight following his thrilling three round war against Troy Mandaloniz back at UFC 93 in February of this year. He skipped his country breakfast and debuted at lightweight opposite Roli Delgado at UFC 99 on June 13.

Kelly was talking all sorts of stuff heading into the early summer bout however, "The Crazy Cuban" proved difficult to finish and took the Brit to the judge's scorecards.

No question Kelly will be looking to make a statement in his fight against Siver.

The heavy-handed kickboxer isn't going to make it easy. After a rocky 1-3 start inside the Octagon, Siver scored a much-needed win at Tempel: "Mix Fight Gala VII" in his native Germany. He came back to the UFC and racked up back-to-back wins, including an electrifying knockout over Nate Mohr at UFC 93.

Both fighters are coming in hungry and ready to keep their momentum going.

Stay tuned to MMAmania.com for more information on this developing fight card that is expected to feature hometown favorite Michael "The Count" Bisping against an opponent to be named.

Who the f@ck cares??

Bizzzzbing vs Kang as the main event, this card is shaping up to be comfortably the worst UFC card in history by some margin.

@ attackdog

Calm down.

This is one of the most exciting fights on that card. Paul Kelly always comes to fight but Dennis Siver is an amazing striker. This will be a war.

GREAT FIGHT!

They’re two f@cking cans!!!!!! Neither of them’s ranked in the top 50 of any division. It’ll be exciting in the same way that two tramps fighting over a pastie is entertaining, there’s the same amount of skill on display.

Siver’s been knocking around the UFC for 2 and a half years, was rubbish at WW so he moved to LW, same with Kelly only he hasn’t been knocking about quite so long.

Imagine what a contender in this division would do to these two clowns??? Sanchez, Stephenson, Florian , Huerta would just squash them in seconds. The gulf in class is just unbelievable!

Why do the UFC think we want to see these same guys over and over again fighting eachother in meaningless bouts??? GIVE US SOMEONE DIFFERENT!!!!!!

K-Dog I’d actually rather see two tramps fight over a pastie, that would be a more entertaining and technical fight that Siver-Kelly. Seriously I have no idea how Siver is still in the UFC or why they want to protect Kelly, if he can’t beat proper competition then he shouldn’t be in the UFC period.

WHAT??? Denis Siver is an amazing striker? This will be an exciting fight? Sorry but I don’t agree at all, both of these two are barely top 30 and are constantly thrown onto European cards because the UFC think that that is good enough for us to buy tickets.

103 was one of the most criticised cards in recent memory and now every single fight including the prelims is better than this pointless and predictable fight.

Marcus Davis on a UK card?? No sir you must be mistaken! lol. I’m thinking possibly a fake standup war with Semtex Daley if they can turn him round quick enough.
