With UFC future uncertain, Bigfoot Silva may find himself at home with RIZIN in Japan

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight smashing machine, Antonio Silva, continues to struggle inside the Octagon, dropping three straight and five of his last six.

That includes last weekend’s knockout loss to Roy Nelson (watch it).

Not surprisingly, Silva’s manager (via MMA Junkie) expects “Bigfoot” to receive his walking papers at some point over the next few weeks, just as he also expects the Brazilian to continue his career on the international circuit.

And one promotion in particular will be waiting with open arms.

“As always we are looking for fighters with International appeal and with great character and Bigfoot has both,” Jerry Millen, Senior Vice President of RIZIN told MMAmania.
