“Bigfoot” is back – again. A former UFC heavyweight title challenger, Antonio Silva hasn’t had much, if any, success in recent combat sports outings but the desire to compete continues to outweigh thoughts of retirement. Silva (19-15) retired in June after 11 consecutive combat losses (including nine by knockout), but the retirement only lasted eight days before he publicly changed his mind.
