Though it’s still more than three months away, the UFC 190 fight card continues to grow with Friday’s addition of a heavyweight bout between Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva and Soa Palelei. UFC officials confirmed the bout first reported by Yahoo News.
Silva (18-7, 1 NC) has been through a rough patch the past couple of years. He’s lost three out of four bouts during that span, while the other was a Fight-of-the-Year candidate turned no-contest due to elevated levels of testosterone on his post-fight drug test.
The Brazilian’s last trip to the cage was a drubbing.
