SMMAF förklarar beslutet gällande Dennis Sivers motståndare

Dennis Siver har flertalet gånger fått byta motståndare inför helgens ”UFC Sweden 3”, och senast var det för att SMMAF (Svenska MMA Förbundet) inte ansåg Taylor Lapilus som en lämplig matchning för Siver. Nu har förbundet gått ut med en förklaring till varför de nekade Lapilus, och detta hade ordförande Johan Halldin att säga:

Regarding the request for replacement of contender to Mr. Dennis Siver at the UFC event on October 4th in Stockholm, Sweden. The Board of the Swedish Mixed Martial Arts Federation (SMMAF) has reviewed the request comprising two options for contender to Mr. Siver put forth by the UFC: the first option regarding Mr. Taylor Lapilus (France) and the second option regarding Mr. Charles Rosa (USA).

The Board has made the following ruling.

Mr. Taylor Lapilus

After having reviewed the information submitted as well as having viewed footage of Mr. Lapilus, the Board of SMMAF must regrettably declare that the request regarding Mr Lapilus as a contender to Mr. Siver has been denied. The grounds for the denial is the inexperience of the athlete in question as based on his age, his technical skill, his record and his overall short background in MMA. This gives reason to believe that he has limited, if any, sparring and competition experience outside of the official record. It is therefore our judgement that a full-contact, professional MMA match between Mr. Lapilus and Mr. Siver would be an uneven match-up to the point where we Mr. Lapilus’ safety can not be guaranteed.

Mr. Charles Rosa

The Board of SMMAF hereby declares that the request for Mr. Rose as contender to Mr. Siver has been approved, and the match is authorized for the event on October 4th in Stockholm, Sweden.

Dennis kommer istället att ta sig an Charles Rosa under evenemanget, och Rosa kliver in som en hittills obesegrad MMA-fighter med nio avslutssegrar i bagaget.
