Big Foot and UFC in the works
Posted: Tue Sep 22, 2009 11:58 am
Antonio Silva (12-1) won the EliteXC heavyweight title with a TKO victory over Justin Eilers – former UFC veteran fighter – and after that he tested positive to Boldenone and got one year suspended from the mixed martial arts fights in the United States due to the suspension imposed by the California State Athletic Comission.
Past July 26th, the suspension ended up and Big Foot hasn’t gotten any penality since then and neither his fighter licence was canceled. The deadline for that was August 26th so that the athlete is in conditions of negotiating with any American organization.
Brasil Combate is able to report that Antonio Silva’s agents Alex Davis and Dan Lambert have been in the works with Ultimate Fighting Championship to make the deal and match him versus guys like Shane Carwin, Cain Velasquez and Brock Lesnar, of course.
“I have a proposal from UFC but I have got to fight on Sep 23rd and there will be another fight left to accomplish my contract with Sengoku. Since the UFC wants exclusivity from the fighters I first need to finish up with Sengoku and after that I will study and see what is the best proposal over the table” said Big Foot.
Don’t miss the exclusive interview with Big Foot along this week. He talked about Brock Lesnar – who he considers a clown – and more interesting subjects. Stay tuned, folks!
