Brasil native Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva has a main event match-up with “The Pit Bull” Andrei Arlovski. This fight among giants could be an opportunity for either to earn a title shot with champion Cain Velasquez, whom Bigfoot has already loss to twice.

Before Silva, the fourth-ranked heavyweight, can even think about a third go at Velasquez, he has to focus on his opponent this weekend, who is just as tall and equally as aggressive as a striker. Bigfoot has has very inconsistent decisions the last three years. All except for one have been knockouts, with victories over Alistair Overeem and Travis Brown, and defeats to Cain, in addition to top light heavyweight contender Daniel Cormier. Silva throws hay-makers with considerable accuracy, but that is nullified by his ability to avoid punches. His success will like depend on the latter.

Arlovski gets another chance at Silva, who loss via unanimous decision under the Strikeforce banner four years ago. The fighter from Belarus is the #14-ranked contender in the division, with a three-match win streak. Like Silva, Andrei is a striker. He will be looking for and needs a KO finish over Bigfoot to let the world to know that he is still a force.

This fight is going to be vicious, entertaining, and will not go the distance. Both fighters will be looking for the finish early. In Bigfoot’s backyard, he has some added motivation. He wants to impress his country, and he will knock out Arlovski and continue his march back to Velasquez.
