Once more, with feeling. Daniel Cormier says fight fans shouldn't expect any surprises when Bigfoot Silva challenges Cain Velasquez in the main event of UFC 160, which takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 25, 2013.
UFC heavyweight contender Daniel Cormier says though Frank Mir showed heart and determination during their UFC on FOX 7 fight, the three-time UFC heavyweight champion still isn't as tough a challenge as fighting Josh Barnett. "DC" explains, inside.
Should undefeated heavyweight Daniel Cormier decide to make the drop down to the UFC's light heavyweight division, it could result in an immediate title shot for the former Olympian, according to promotion president Dana White.
According to Daniel Cormier, fighting Frank Mir at UFC on Fox 7 in his Octagon debut this weekend isn't a step up in MMA competition when having already defeated Heavyweight standouts such as Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva and Josh Barnett, among others.
Daniel Cormier was one of the top up-and-coming heavyweights under the Strikeforce banner, but not yet ranked among the best the promotion had to offer. That would all change the night he faced off against Brazilian "Bigfoot," Antonio Silva.
Check out a complete video preview of the Alistair Overeem vs. Antonio Silva fight set for tonight's (Feb. 2, 2013) UFC 156: "Aldo vs. Edgar" event at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. A win for "Reem" means a title shot.
Travis Browne believes he can beat Antonio Silva 10 out of 10 times after he suffered his first-ever loss at the hands of 'Bigfoot' after coming down with a hamstring injury in the first round of their recent fight.
Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva badly wants a rematch against Cain Velasquez and now that he's knocked out Travis Browne at UFC on FX 5 and been successful inside the Octagon, he's calling for it.
Antonio Silva used a monster right hand to knock Travis Browne into next week in the main event of UFC on FX 5 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, giving him his first career win inside the Octagon.
"Angry" Antonio Silva determined to show fans the real "Bigfoot" when he steps into the Octagon to face Travis Browne at UFC on FX 5: "Browne vs. Bigfoot." on Friday, Oct. 5, 2012 in Minnesota.
UFC heavyweight contender Travis Browne hopes an impressive win over Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva at UFC on FX 5 on Oct. 5, 2012 will get have people talking about him in the same conversation as Cain Velasquez and Daniel Cormier.
Although Antonio Silva has lost his last two bouts by way of knockout, he's still in the main event of the UFC on FX 5 fight card in a tough fight against Travis Browne. It's a tough fight and "Bigfoot" knows that, but he's happy for the challenge.
THe UFC sending Frank Mir to Strikeforce to fight Daniel Cormier later this year is a smart business decision for all involved and a big win for UFC, Strikeforce, Showtime, Mir, Cormier, and the fans.
With his win over Josh Barnett last night (May 19, 2012) in San Jose, Daniel Cormier won the Strikeforce heavyweight grand prix. And he became a star in the process.
