It continues to be a busy year of competition for former UFC heavyweight title challenger Antonio Silva despite his woes to return into the win column.
Knocked out twice since June 13, “Bigfoot” Silva has been booked again – this time for Sept. 10 against Azerbaijani kickboxing and muay thai standout Zabit Samedov, who holds a record of 102-9-1. The bout will take place in Azerbaijan under the MixFight Championship banner, the promotion recently announced.
Silva, 42, has won one of his most recent 15 combat sports appearances. He has been knocked out in 12 of those fights. He was knocked out cold in an MMA bout June 24 and then standing in a kickboxing bout July 8.
