The unfortunate early passing of Shawn Tompkins has resulted in Sam Stout, one of his pupils, having to pull out of his scheduled bout against Dennis Siver on Oct. 29 at UFC 137 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
This being the lightweight division, though, means there's always one guy to call who will no doubt accept any fight that comes his way and today is no different. Donald Cerrone has agreed to step in for Stout against Siver in "Sin City."
ESPN.com passed along word earlier today.
Cerrone last competed just over two weeks ago today, impressively knocking out Charles Oliveira in the very first round. It was the third win this year for "Cowboy," who made the jump from the now defunct WEC after a Dec. 2010 win over Chris Horodecki.
He's 3-0 inside the Octagon and on a five-fight winning streak. And with his penchant for stepping up on short notice, you can bet the Greg Jackson product is knocking on the door to a title shot.
Dennis Siver has unwittingly been cast into the role of "guy who earned a decision he shouldn't have" thanks to a somewhat questionable call by judges during his UFC 132 fight against Matt Wiman.
It shouldn't be held against the Russian-born German stick of dynamite, though. He's 8-1 in his last nine bouts and has improved remarkably since returning for his second stint with the world's largest fight promotion.
But can he reach the top? The journey continues against Cerrone.
UFC 137 will feature welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre putting his title -- and legacy -- on the line when he goes head on against former Strikeforce king Nick Diaz. The co-main event will highlight a potential number one contender bout pitting B.J. Penn vs. Carlos Condit.
Mirko Filipovic vs. Roy Nelson and Matt Mitrione vs. Cheick Kongo have also been announced for the card, as well as the Octagon debut of Hatsu Hioki vs. George Roop.

He's not going to finish Siver
he has a number of decisions, as well.

Number of decisions eh?
3 out of 16 wins are by decision. And another little fun fact for ya, Siver has 7 losses, and 4 coming by submission. So do you watch MMA or……?

Everything falls into Cerrone's favor.
Physical attributes, striking, submissions, judge friendly fighting style. He’s showing a glimpses of his improving wrestling enough to even take siver down a couple of times. His submission rate is so quick that he’d work him as soon as they hit the mat.

Why the fuck would I do that?
I don’t make bets on how fights finish, its MMA, anything can happen. Just because it is likely Cerrone subs him, doesn’t mean I will take a bet on just that

Where's the gumption you had above
You are quite certain he will sub him, I am quite certain he will not.
SO do you know how simple betting works or…..?

Really like both these guys.
Gonna have to agree with. Cerrone outstrikes Siver in this one.
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
Lets think about what you are saying for a second because donald does not get as much credit as he should for being the beast that he is. Siver has some of beat kicks in all of MMA he throws a brutal spinning back kick better than anyone I’ve seen and he has that sweet round kick that he throws off his lead leg with no wind up that is gorgeous and often effective because it’s so quick and most throw that kick with a switch or wind up, catches you off guard…..but Donald is an even better striker imo. He mixes it up and throws elbows when in the proper range as he also does with knees, which as simple as it sounds is not often mastered…..he also fights at a pace not many can withstand add that to a skilled mix of striking, accurate and beautifully timed attacks, tough to beat a guy like that and he just seemed to add some nice double leg td’s to his game look out for Donald Cerrone to do big things in the UFC.
Yep I like Donald in this fight also. I think his footwork movement and his new found double leg TD’s will end up being too much for Siver. Siver has great striking but he has a tendency to stand in the middle flat footed which will get him in trouble with a well rounded guy like Cerrone, he’ll lick him up a bit exchanging some fotn material then take him down to sub him late in the third late second….or he will stand and wang with him earning a split or UD. Either way like you said Donald all day, baby.
is 'licking' someone up something cool to do now?

haha, nailed that one.
it’s a really good match up.
there are so many LW fights matched up, I can see Barboza end up being a replacement for either Pettis-Stephens or Guillard-Lauzon. I can also see him gettin matched up with Nik Lentz.
next prediction: Ed Herman vs. Koscheck.
Fighting solves everything.
I think Harris will be fighting Herman
Fedor "The Can Crusher" Emeilianko IS NOT THE BEST HW EVER , in fact he sucks! he has the most padded record in the history of any combat sport, scratch that in the history of any sport. He has not changed as a fighter , he is still just as good as he was then, only difference is he isn’t fighting freaks and nobodies, I , along with many others have been duped into believing he is great, when clearly he is NOT! -I hate you the Dragon...one day

Um, the dec against Matt Wiman was the right call.
Just because you think wiman won doesn’t make it robbery at all, it might give anyone who didn’t see the fight the wrong impression.

Siver won that. Judges made the right call.

i gave a slight edge to Wiman.
but then again, I wanted him to win, so I might’ve been watchin with bias eyes.
round 2 was the most decisive for sure, and that went to Wiman.
Fighting solves everything.
happens all the time
i still think matt serra beat matt hughes…from what i hear, im incorrect about that

"With all due respect, sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour"
i wanted Serra to win that soo badly!
it hurts me to say Hughes won. it even hurts to write it.

you dont even know the half of it…i like to say that his trip takedown in the third won him the round, but apparently it did not

Watch your mouth jeez....this used to be a family place.
‘Knee injuries are real and not excuses. I will never doubt Mauricio Shogun Rua’s record or ability again.’
I said a couple of weeks ago...
That Cerrone is becoming one of my fav fighters as I respect this guy more than most fighters, and some of my fav fighters include Aoki, Minotouro, Minotoro, Lyoto, Shogun, AS, Saku to name a few but Cerrone is jumping the lost for me because not only does this man hav respect for his opponents, fighters, and the sport, but he has one of the biggest hearts in MMA.
Cerrone seems to have taken all of his UFC fights on short notice as well. This guy is a warrior.

Not excited by matchup
Don’t want to see either lose. Siver vs sherk or not sure who.
Thiago Tavares, after 134 win
Two months till fight, already fit, off of a good win.
Siver always puts on a good show
This will be a tough fight for him, I’d like to see him come out on top. He should be in title contention soon if he can pull out a win
Great matchup
I will watch this card just because of this fight this is cerrones big test im thinking he takes it if hes at his best that night

One word: REACH
Cerrone will take this based on his length.
Siver is the new Sean Sherk. He lacks height. His strength and technique have gotten him this far but he will never be top 3.

I’ll take Siver on this. Cerrone will have trouble fighting a tough man. Tuff fight for Cowboy.

GREAT FIGHT! I got Siver, TDD will be key. And his striking is just more technical.
A Lannister always pays his debts.
Cerrone.
He has reach, a good jab.. He’ll keep him at distance, throw headkicks to a much shorter Siver, defend any takedown attempts by Siver, good off his back with subs, and enough power in his punches to drop just about anyone..
He’s had trouble ‘starting’ in fights, as he’s said in interviews… He seems to be firing off earlier and is better off because of it… Once he’s had people hurt he’s going for the finish..
The man rides bulls, and is with Jackson.. A tough customer. Let’s do it Cowboy
Siver by UD
Siver just fought Matt wiman, who IMO is better than cerrone. Siver improves everyfight

Wiman is a mid-tier fighter. I’m pretty sure that’s common knowledge and agreed upon by most.

+1 that's funny
I was just mad that some one with the best ground game in the division got derailed when we have all the wrestlers at the top , I like a little variety and George had that . His bjj is flawless and Im tired of top-n-flop guida and lay-n-pray gray . Shit Frankie doesn’t create much violence or taps either so I guess I was diasappointed that the enivitable loss for George had to come because of the cluster fuck the ufc made of the 155 pound class.

I would think that Cerrone has this, because
he’s more well rounded. Siver has great kicks and good TD defense…Still don’t like the guy though. He bugs me.
Nick Diaz has as much of a chance at beating GSP as George W. Bush becoming re-elected for a third term...

I think Cerrone is almost a sure fire bet here.
Dude is just a winner. He is just to damn tough and will take Siver into deep waters that he will not be able to handle.
‘Knee injuries are real and not excuses. I will never doubt Mauricio Shogun Rua’s record or ability again.’
Never seen a boring Cerrone fight!!
Love what this guy brings!! Complete skills set and will take the fight anywhere. One of the few guys with a really exciting ground game.
Cerrone takes it to the ground to FINISH!!! Where as a lot of fighters take it to the ground to avoid being finished!! (Cough cough GSP)
I know Satans got a sixpack... We train together!

Gotta love Cerrone..
This will be his 7th fight since April last year…..this guy always steps up and he’s quite often in some tough 3 round fights. Then you got the other side of it….Forrest Griffin with 2 fights over that same time and his last fight…..a pathetic fall to the mat and a few hammer fists and he was done. Makes me appreciate a guy like Cerrone all the more.
