Coming from wins over Andrei Arlovski and Mike Kyle, the last one by KO, Antonio “Big Foot” Silva is training hard on the United States for his next bout, that might be against Fedor Emelianenko.

“We were thinking about this fight for a long time, and Big Foot is preparing himself for it. It’ll be, when it happens, the greatest fight in his career. It’s a hard fight for anyone, Fedor is a legend, and he deserves to be to known as one”, comments Alex Davis, manager of the Brazilian. “I think this bout will happen, that’s our hope. If you want to be the best, you have to test yourself with the bests. We’re just waiting the guys from Strikeforce to call us, he’ll give a great show for you, as usual”.

Confident on the heavyweight division, Alex believes on a spectacular win. “I believe on Big foot a lot. I think that, on Werdum’s fight, Fedor made a little mistake, which Werdum used wisely to beat him. He’s much more prepared now… On Big Foot’s case, I hope he can really beat that guy up. Big Foot has plenty conditions to do it, he proved it on his last couple of fights, and on the last one he proved how brave he is when he’s in trouble”, concludes.
