Wiman, an alum of the talent-rich fifth season of TUF, is on a three-fight winning streak, most recently battering Cole Miller en-route to a lopsided decision win at UFC Fight for the Troops 2. German kickboxing specialist, Siver, also finds himself with three straight wins under his belt, having just derailed the title hopes of George Sotiropoulous in front of a hostile crowd at UFC 127.
“Lightweights coming off of impressive wins face off in Vegas as Matt Wiman and Dennis Siver have verbally agreed to fight July 2nd,” said UFC President Dana White
