UFC's German Poster Boy?

[Topsy Kretts]

Which UFC German fighter has the potential to become what Michael Bisping or Dan Hardy were for the UK. Or Conor McGregor is for Ireland. Currently UFC has 4 fighters from Germany under contract.

Dennis Siver : Age 35
MMA: 21

Siver is the obvious choice and probably wouldn't gotten a big pop had he actually been able to fight on the card.

The rest need time to get established. Then, maybe, who knows.

I was very surprised Siver was not on the Berlin card. He is a long time vet of the deepest division in the UFC. Now that UFC is putting on more shows in Europe I hope they build up some Euro fighters

Chael Sonnen is German.

I think it was related to the suspension from testing positive for hCG. Otherwise, yea he probably would have possibly headlined at the very least co-main.

Nice Lim gif

Edit: Decided to read what you said on it and now I see lol. Still though, just don't include him in the post.

Lmao it's not even the Krause KO too.

Hein seems like he has a lot of potential to get some popularity to Germany. I don't see a future champion, but he could put on some entertaining fights and seems to be well spoken.

 

[Topsy Kretts]

Chael Sonnen is German.

I was speaking in terms of nationality. Chael is American, even though... knowing him he could probably hype up his ancestry in order to headline in Germany.

 

[Kneepocalypse]

National Jude champion from Germany loll.

Opps, ty for catching that. The two fights ended nearly identically.

He lost to a dude named Carlos, bad example.

Shouldn't you put a gif of him doing something cool and not getting KTFO lol

He hasn't done anything cool though... 2 Decision Wins, 1 Decision Loss and a TKO loss.

 

[jerk]

Sonnen, Weidman, Ellenberger, Schaub, Koch. In that order.

How can us Germans even bother with this now? The World cup is ours for the taking.

From trying to take over the world (twice) to winning a soccer game. Standards have been lowered.

(soccer game reference only to piss off Euros)

 

[milonofcroton]

Nick Hein always reminds me of that dude from "Never Back Down"...

 

[HerpDerp]

The way Hein took control of the whole stadium during his post-fight interview was pretty telling of his popularity, so I guess it's him now.
