Dennis Siver will face Robert Whiteford at UFC Fight Night in Sweden when Siver returns from a nine-month Nevada Athletic Commission-mandated suspension this fall.
In his most recent outing, Siver defeated Manny Gamburyan via unanimous decision at UFC 168 in Las Vegas on Dec. 28. After the bout, the Russian-born German tested positive for human chorionic gonadotropin (hcG), a fertility drug for women which can also be used to increase testosterone production in men. As a result, Siver’s win was changed to a no contest, he was suspended for nine months and fined 30 percent of his purse.

Whiteford, meanwhile, is 1-1 in two promotional appearances. The 31-year-old Scotland native debuted with a submission loss to Jim Hettes in October before outpointing Daniel Pineda at UFC 171.
The UFC returns to Stockholm on Oct. 4 with a card that also includes a welterweight clash between Amir Sadollah and Nicholas Musoke. No headliner has been announced for the event.
