UFC Fight Night Boston: 3 Fights to Make for Dennis Siver

Boston was home to UFC Fight Night 59 on Sunday night, and it was full of great fights. The main event featured Dennis Siver and Conor McGregor in a pivotal featherweight feature.

Siver was the heavy underdog by most, as McGregor is one of the most hyped fighters in the world right now. Unfortunately for the German, he was just another stop on McGregor's hype train continuance, as he was knocked out in the second round.

What's next for Siver after this tough loss to the Irish sensation? Let's look at three fights Siver could take next.

Dennis Bermudez

Like Siver, Dennis Bermudez is coming off a loss in his latest fight. Ricardo Lamas finished Bermudez, momentarily halting the great progress Bermudez made in the Octagon.

He's in a very similar position as Siver. Both are top fighters in the featherweight division coming off a loss who are in need of a credible opponent.

The title picture is still in sight for both men. The winner of the potential matchup would definitely get back in contention.

Jeremy Stephens

Dennis Siver used to be a lightweight. Jeremy Stephens used to be a lightweight.

Siver is a striker. Stephens is a striker.

It's a match made in heaven, right?

Obviously, we know that Siver is coming off a loss Sunday night, but Stephens is also coming off a loss to Cub Swanson recently. Given their styles and current positions in the UFC featherweight division, this is a matchup worth exploring.

It also has Fight of the Night written all over it.

Cole Miller/Max Holloway loser

Cole Miller and Max Holloway are set to fight in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 60 in Colorado on February 14. The winner is on to bigger and better things, but the loser could be a suitable dance partner for Siver.

In Miller, you have a jiu-jitsu guy with good hands. In Holloway, you have a great kickboxer who could be a great stylistic match with Siver.

Obviously, the loser would be a great opponent for Siver. Both men would benefit from taking on a longtime vet who is a mainstay of the UFC.
