Soa Palelei will face the biggest challenge of his mixed martial arts (MMA) career (literally) when he takes on fellow heavyweight Antonio Silva at the UFC 190 pay-per-view (PPV) event, which goes down this Sat. night (Aug. 1, 2015) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Special opponents require special training partners, which is why "The Hulk" brought in heavy-handed Mark Hunt to help him prepare for the "Bigfoot"-sized challenge. Plus, Hunt has already gone toe-to-toe against Silva, fighting to a draw against the bruiser in 2013 in a spectacular back-and-forth brawl.
So what have the two big men been focusing on?
