10 Things to Watch for on UFC on Fox

9 - Dennis Siver vs. Nam Pham

If you watch one fight on the undercard, it has to be this one. Trust us. This one is going to be dynamite. Dennis Siver (20-8) vs. Nam Phan (18-10) has upset Fight of the Night written all over it. Siver and Phan are going to bang and both have good power for Featherweights. Nam is fearless with heart exploding body shots, while Siver is a muscly assault tank that can kick through cinder block. Even more enticing is that both fighters have shown great chins. Siver has only been knocked out once in 28 fights and Nam has been in absolute slug fest wars in his last five (Cole Miller, Jimy Hettes, Leonard Garcia x2, and Mike Brown). Both fighters are comparable in size and reach with Siver getting the slight advantage, but Nam is the younger by 4 years. Nam also has the better all around skills advantage with black belts in BJJ and Karate coupled with serious Judo. Siver is definitely the more technical of the two fighters with amateur kickboxing titles to his credit. Wow, you say. Could it possibly be better? Yes, it could! Between these two fighters, they've earned Fight of the Night FOUR times! Watch this fight. Be glad that you did. It could be one of the best of 2012.
