Donald Cerrone Replaces Sam Stout, Faces Dennis Siver at UFC 137

Sam Stout has withdrawn from his UFC 137 matchup with fellow lightweight Dennis Siver following the recent death of his longtime trainer and brother-in-law Shawn Tompkins, though the reason for his withdrawal is currently unknown, according to MMAjunkie.

Donald Cerrone has replaced fellow lightweight Sam Stout on the UFC 137 fight card and will look to remain unbeaten inside the Octagon when he faces German contender Dennis Siver at the October 29 event in Las Vegas, the UFC announced Monday.

Cerrone (16-3) scored the “Knockout of the Night” of Charles Oliveira at UFC on Versus 5 earlier this month for his third-straight UFC win following back-to-back WEC victories, while Siver (19-7) has won four-straight and seven of his last eight in the UFC, including wins over George Sotiropoulos and Matt Wiman in 2011.

UFC 137 is headlined by welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre vs. Nick Diaz and also includes BJ Penn vs. Carlos Condit, Matt Mitrione vs. Cheick Kongo, and Mirko Cro Cop vs. Roy Nelson.

Cerrones got this one in the bag. Sivers boxing wont be enough for this guy. Too many weapons

exactly Quad. And damn Dist you beat me to it lol. Nice work too btw, not much ppl thank you for posting all of this stuff, it must be hard work. Thx Dist! idk what the UFA would be like without you bro.

thx war. i think this is a perfect fight for cowboy. he doesnt have to waste any thoughts on his opponent shooting. were gonna see a clinic and this guy is also setting himself up for a title shot. guida, bendo, and guillard is in line first, but dont forget j-lau is making a strong push too. cowboy, j-lau, and siver r fighting for next in line.

i really dont like siver .. he lost that wiman fight and he knows it ..and barley got by gsot
