Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2017-06-02, pretty good finish between Vitaly Minakov and Antonio Silva but it is not enough to get three stars: it gets two.The undefeated black belt in judo, former Bellator and world combat sambo champion Vitaly Minakov entered this fight with a perfect mma record of 19-0-0 (89% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.19 heavyweight in the world. He fought just once last year beating Peter Graham (=Minakov vs Graham) and then he has defeated DJ Linderman in 2017 (=Minakov vs Linderman).
His opponent, the black belt in judo, karate and Brazilian jiu-jitsu Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva, has a record of 19-11-1 (89% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.35 in the same weight class but he won just one out of his last nine bouts, against Soa Palelei in 2015 (=Silva vs Palelei). After this fight he lost four fights, the last one with Ivan Shtyrkov (=Bigfoot vs Shtyrkov). Vitaly Minakov vs Antonio Bigfoot Silva is on the undercard of Sergey Pavlovich vs Mikhail Mokhnatkin – FNG 68. Watch the video and rate this fight!
