Despite back-to-back quick knockout losses, former UFC heavyweight title challenger Antonio Silva will get another fight inside the Octagon. The UFC Brazil official website confirmed that “Bigfoot” will face Roy Nelson on the main card of UFC Fight Night in Brasilia, Brazil.
Silva (19-9-1) failed to last 20 seconds with Stefan Struve at UFC Rotterdam in May, as the Dutchman knocked him out without much trouble. This followed a 1st round knockout loss to Mark Hunt at UFC 193, in what was a rematch of their epic first meeting (which ended in a draw) in December 2013.
