UFC Fight Night 59: Siver zal lachen als "he beats that asshole named Conor McGregor"

Siver vecht op 18 januari tegen Conor McGregor. Dit zal plaatsvinden tijdens UFC Fight Night  59.
De meeste mma liefhebbers hebben Siver al volledig afgeschreven en denken dat McGregor met twee vingers in zijn neus zal winnen. In dat geval mag McGregor daarna voor de titel vechten tegen Jose Aldo.

Siver liet het volgende weten:
""Everyone thinks I've already lost the fight. You can't hype someone after four fights. In his last fight he has looked good, but the battle was only two minutes or so. For me he landed a fluke punch [against Dustin Poirier], because until then, the whole thing was even. And his fights before that were also nothing special. I'm not impressed at all. He promised to beat me in two minutes, but he can stick that prediction in his ass. When I finish him on Sunday, I'll laugh. I can understand all that shit talking in front of the camera, but when he does it privately, behind the scenes, that proves to me he is an asshole.""
