After four years of operation, Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva once again entered the cage on June 13 at the Megdan Fighting 9: Under the Bright Sky before the rival of the French rival toin Domingos.
Silva has not been able to taste any victory since 2015, after defeating against Vitaly Minakov at the Fight Night Global 68 event in 2017.
However, the Brazilian puncher vowed to prove that fans would see a revival Silva during this time when he claimed to have “concentrated 300%” on his return to his victories.
“I am very worried after many years of separation. I am motivated, I am expected to come on June 13 to return to MMA, confronting a person who fought six battles, a very strong person,” Silva shared in an interview.
“It (MMA) is a career that brought me to martial arts, so my love for MMA is very large. The new opportunities have appeared, but as soon as the opportunity to play MMA again, I immediately nodded. I had my first match in 2004. I have feelings for MMA, so please start quickly. I focus on 300% to return.”
The new opportunity that Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva talks about is at the BKFC Boxing tournament, where he failed to Gabriel Gonzaga, who was also a former UFC boxer.
“The problem is here (Antonio Silva pointed to the head). Since 2014, my life was downhill, not only in my career but also my personal life. My personal things have affected my professional life,” the 41 -year -old boxer explained. “At that time, I thought I was right, I did not see the error and this was a snowball. You reap what I sow. I made a big change.”
“I wish I had this thinking and this personal life for many years,” he continued. “Surely now, Bigfoot from ten years ago has returned. I had to fall several times to see where I was wrong. Falling was important, but the most important thing is to stand up and thank God, I have overcome it.”
