Most mixed martial arts (MMA) fans did not expect the hard-hitting Heavyweight showdown between "Bigfoot" Antonio Silva and Soa Palelei to last long tonight (Sat., Aug. 1, 2015) at UFC 190, which took place inside HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
And they were right.
"Bigfoot" ran into the cage, eager to get his hands dirty against the Australian. He wanted to get his hands on Palelei early, too, but he quickly tied up the Brazilian along the cage. When they returned to the center of the Octagon, Bigfoot landed a nice knee and then pressed Palelei back up against the cage.
