Times have been tough lately for Antonio Silva, who is currently on a two-fight skid under the ZUFFA umbrella.
After getting knocked out in the first round by Daniel Cormier in the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix back in 2011, “Bigfoot” was brought into the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) ranks to test his skills against former champion, Cain Velasquez at UFC 146.

That’s quite a downfall for a man who is one of only three people in the world than can say they have defeated perhaps the greatest heavyweight to ever compete in mixed martial arts (MMA), Fedor Emelianenko.
With his back against the wall and facing perhaps being cut from the UFC’s roster, Silva will take on undefeated (11-0-1) Travis Browne, this Friday, (Oct. 5, 2012) as the two big men headline UFC on FX 5: “Browne vs. Silv...
