Used to having the crowd against him, Bigfoot Silva is 'flattered' to fight in stadium

Antonio Silva won't mind having thousands of Australians cheering against him at UFC 193. All he wants is to defeat Mark Hunt the second time around.

Antonio Silva will get a second chance to defeat Mark Hunt since their first clash ended in a majority draw in December of 2013. Much like that encounter, the two gentlemen will once again face off in Australia, but this time around at a soccer stadium. This excites the Brazilian, as he told Combate:
