While former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight title challenger, Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva (19-11, 1 NC), seems to be heading downward in terms of his performance in his mixed martial arts (MMA) career, his new paycheck would disagree.
To end his UFC run, Silva was 1-6 with one “No Contest” in his final eight bouts, losing all six of his fights via (technical) knockout. In terms of health and safety concerns, it seems as if “Bigfoot” would want to consider hanging up the gloves.
However, Russia’s Titov Boxing Promotion had other plans for him.
