Antonio Silva doesn’t feel any pressure going into a fight with the best heavyweight kickboxer in the world in China.
“Bigfoot" will take on Glory heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven at the Guangzhou gymnasium Saturday, and has made some changes in training ahead of his first experience inside a kickboxing ring.
The former UFC heavyweight title contender moved to Brasilia, Brazil, to train for four weeks with Glory striker Guto Inocente and his father Carlos. After a couple of weeks at American Top Team in Florida, Silva flew to China for one of the biggest challenges of his career.
