| I didn't even realize Silva had signed with the UFC already. - Quote :
- Big Country may be teasing a move down to light heavyweight, but it won’t happen before May 26 because he’s got a big test ahead of him at UFC 146.
Roy Nelson will face former Strikeforce heavyweight Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva at UFC 146 in May as part of the card taking place in Las Vegas.
UFC officials confirmed the fight on Wednesday.
After a win over Mirko Cro Cop to close out 2011, Roy Nelson ran into another former Strikeforce competitor to kick off 2012 and things didn’t go as smoothly.
Nelson lost a unanimous decision to Fabricio Werdum at UFC 143, and now will hope to get back on the winning side of things when he returns in May. Nelson has recently teased through his Facebook page that if he gets to 100,000 ‘likes’ that he will drop down to light heavyweight, but it appears that plan is on hold until at least after UFC 146.
Facing Nelson in his UFC debut will be former Strikeforce competitor Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva. http://www.mmaweekly.com/big-country-draws-bigfoot-at-ufc-146 | |

| I don't like it. All the talk of Nelson dropping weight and needing to slim down to compete and then they throw him freaking Bigfoot??? | |

| Yeah, good point. They did kind of put a little misdirection on him, didn't they? | |

| Eat cheeseburgers my friend eat cheeseburgers.
On a more positive note I have missed the mma freak show matchups and will look forward to a bulked up Nelson chewing on Bigfoot's foot. | |
