Brazilian Bigfoot Antonio Silva was one who had a long MMA career. He fought across several promotions, including the UFC, Strikeforce, EliteXC, and others. While the fighter once was on a 13-1 Pro-MMA record but his performances started ending in losses. Silva finished his Pro-MMA record at 19-14-1 and moved on to Kick-Boxing and Bare Knuckle boxing. His nickname ‘Bigfoot’ comes from him being a big-framed guy. He is 6 ft 4 inches in height and weighs 264 lbs.

In a recent Instagram picture that he shared, Silva showed his massive hands and wrote a caption that may have been a hinting toward his willingness to get into the slapping game. We could also compare his hands to the huge Brock Lesnar‘s.

Silva showing his massive hands drew attention from athletes and fans alike. People were in awe of the size of hands that could have served very well in a powerslap match.

Antonio Silva has moved on from MMA

Antonio Silva has ventured into other sports like the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship and Glory Kickboxing. Unfortunately, he hasn’t seen victory outside of UFC.
