Between 2005 and 2007, Deák-Bárdos, however, suffered numerous setbacks in his sporting career. He lost for the fourth time to Cuba's Mijaín López at the 2005 World Wrestling Championships, coincidentally in his home city, and placed farther from the medal podium at the European Championships. In 2008, Deák-Bárdos recaptured his success in super heavyweight wrestling, after winning the silver medal for his team at the World Wrestling Cup in Szombathely.
