His first appearance at UFC in May was a disaster. Ex-champ Cain Velasquez made his face a bloody mess at UFC 146. And almost a year earlier, his hope to win the Strikeforce Heavyweight Tournament was wiped out by a big punch delivered by Daniel Cormier in the semifinals.
His memorable victory against the legend Fedor Emelianenko seems to be happened centuries ago.
Now Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva (16-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) wants to forget the recent past and comeback to victory.
Friday at Target Center in Minneapolis in the main event of UFC on FX 5, he will face a rising giant, the 6-foot-7 undefeated Travis Browne (13-0-1 MMA, 4-0-1 UFC).
Silva (6-foot-4, anyway) said: “I’m coming into this fight with a lot of

Dave Batista vs Vince Lucero full fight video
Just five days before his scheduled MMA debut, former WWE Champion Dave Batista finally knows who’ll be his first MMA opponent: the veteran Vince Lucero.
The former candidates were all almost amateur fighters, with no professional bouts: Rashid Evans went to jail; Bruno McKee cited a lack of time to prepare.
Instead Vince Lucero is a legitimate experienced fighter, a 13-year-veteran with 45 bouts. Not a dummy.
The bulky fighter who cuts to make the 265-pound top limit of the heavyweight division, has fought twice this year on Rage in the Cage show. His last fight was a win on April 13 over
MMA News – Ronda Rousey in the UFC? Rumors about a MegaBout with Cristiane ‘Cyborg’ Santos

She is the the current Strikeforce Women’s Bantamweight Champion and the first American woman to earn an Olympic medal in judo at the Summer Olympics.

They were together at the recent Sons of Anarchy premiere for FX and the photographers were all for her. He is a huge fan of Ronda and said: “I absolutely, positively would bring Ronda Rousey into the UFC.”
If so, Ronda would be the

MMA News – Official trailer UFC 153 Silva vs Bonnar. And what’s Silva’s future?
Less than 15 days to UFC 153 (October 13, 2012 at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), but the questions at a press conference for promoting the bout are all for Silva’s future. In particular the alleged fear of the “Spider” to face Chris Weidman, who is coming off dominant back-to-back wins over top-10 opponents.
“Everything has its time. He’ll have his opportunity to fight for the belt. Maybe I fight next before he gets the shot, I lose and he fights someone else. We don’t know. I can fight Bonnar, lose and say: ‘you know what, I don’t want it anymore’. Or maybe I win and way ‘I don’t want

Second: the opponet is a mystery yet. (Read the last news on Batista Mma debut)
Batista is a former World Wrestling Entertainment headliner. He began his WWE career on 9 May 2002, after a past as bouncer and huge bodybuilder (at his best he was at 6-foot-4 and 320 pounds), having in fact never competed at any significant level in wrestling (different story for Brock Lesnar, another WWE star that came to MMA, who was an NCAA champion before pro wrestling).
His rise was fast and straight, and Batista won his first World Heavyweight Championship on 3 April at WrestleMania 21 in a spectacular match against his ex leader Triple H. The show did 1,090,000 worldwide pay-per-view buys, at the time the largest non-boxing number for any pay-per-view event in history.
After 3 years of dominance, his reign began to fall down, mainly because of several injuries. So finally he left WWE when his contract expired in May 2010.
After that he tried to enter in the MMA world. Batista had announced that he and Strikeforce were negotiating a contract. However in
