Glory heavyweight champion Rico Verhoeven, a heavy favorite against UFC veteran Antonio Silva at Saturday’s Glory 46 in China, needed two rounds to score a TKO victory.
Verhoeven landed vicious leg kicks early on, getting “Bigfoot" off-balance twice in the first minutes. The action only stopped in the first round when Verhoeven landed a vicious low blow.
“Bigfoot" returned more aggressive in the second round, but Verhoeven knocked him down him with a head kick. Silva managed to continue, but only to get more punishment from the heavyweight champion, who landed a combination of a spinning wheel kick and punches to force the referee to stop the bout.
