Dennis Siver spoke with MMAjunkie following his win over BJ Penn at UFC Fight Night 112. The highlights are below:

On getting knocked down by Penn in round two: “Actually, it was good for me. Of course I got knocked down by B.J., but I could recover on the ground. Because B.J. was active, and I was passive. My break got even longer from just laying there and holding him. So, actually, it was good for me. Played out well.”

On beating Penn: “It fulfills my dreams, actually. You don’t fight a legend like B.J. Penn every day. It feels awesome.”
