BJ Penn drops fifth fight in a row with majority decision loss to Dennis Siver

B.J. Penn’s woes continued on Sunday night as the former two-division UFC champion fell in a majority decision to Dennis Siver, who was returning to action for the first time in more than two years.

Siver had been facing injuries, which kept him sidelined and out of action since 2015 but there’s no doubt the bigger story going into the weekend was whether or not Penn could right his ship after suffering through the toughest run of his legendary career.

It looked like Penn might get back on track after a knockdown in the second round, but ultimately that lone punch served as his best shot landed over 15 minutes in the Octagon with Siver.
