Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva
Antônio “Bigfoot” Silva is the giant Brazilian heavyweight with acromegaly who held the EliteXC, Cage Rage and Cage Warriors heavyweight titles before shocking Fedor Emelianenko in 2011, beating him so badly the doctor stopped it after two rounds.
In the UFC he knocked out Alistair Overeem but was knocked out by Cain Velasquez twice, and fought Mark Hunt to a five-round draw in 2013, one of the greatest heavyweight fights ever, though Silva’s elevated testosterone later turned it into a no contest. CagePotato covered his upset of Fedor and the Hunt war.
