    Antonio Silva....what do you guys think about him?

    I have only seen him fight a few times but this dude looks like a beast. He is extremely awkward for his opponents to match up with because his reach is so much longer than theirs and he just looks huge. Guess that is why they call him bigfoot. Anyways do you guys think he has a chance to be a bigtime contender. I know he just had a little trouble with Ricco Rodriguez but he actually dominated that fight if you ask me even though it came down to a split decision....maybe the other judge was on crack. Anyways guys I just wanted to know what you all thought.

    he looks like a neanderthal, lol. but yeah i like him and think that he might make some noise in the HW devision. partly b/c of his skills and partly b/c of the lack of stars/contenders in the weight class.

    Wait bro, I don't know what your answer is. I am not quite as informed on MMA as you but I do enjoy the sport so please tell me if and why you may think he is garbage. Personally I think it would be fun down the road to see a Antonio vs. Kimbo fight since they are the only two heavyweight fighters in EliteXC that can draw a crowd.

    bump.....sorry guys. I know some of you may not be interested in this but I was hoping one of you mma gurus could tell me why this guy doesn't get more exposure as being a threat in the heavyweight division.

    didnt he lose to eric "big" pele lol


    if he was to fight a guy of real skill in his prime i.e a randy or fedor he would be dominated not ricco he is fat and past it
    the kimbo fight mite be intresting because he can just hold him off with hes reach,but on the other hand kimbo did use 2 wrestle(altho we havent seen it yet) so that mite be redundant
    long story short i dont think he is any threat to the top 10 HW list at the moment or will be IMO
