Since then, there have been five fights – one draw (against Jon Fitch) and four defeats (against Rodríguez, Frankie Edgar, Rory McDonald e Nick Diaz). Siver hasn't fought since June 2015, when he was defeated by Tatsuya Kawajiri. He had already lost to Conor McGregor – his last victory was in October 2014, against Charles Rosa.
