Owner of three heavyweight belts (EliteXC, Cage Rage and Cage Warriors), Antônio "Bigfoot" Silva is training to return to the Sengoku on September 23, and will have another motivation for the victory. "I have two more fights in Sengoku and, winning this one, that still have no opponent, I should fight for the belt in December. They will create the belt and I will fight for the title", says the American Top Team heavyweight.

"I don’t even imagine who can be (my opponent), I have no idea", he said. But, if he could choose, Silva already had a favorite one. "I wish it were Josh Barnett, once he won’t in the United States anymore. He has a contract with Sengoku and is trained, so who knows this fight can happen", says the fighter, who can return to fight in the U.S. "The Athletic Commission hasn’t contacted me and the suspension expired. Now I’m released, because they had to have made a meeting to revoke my license, and it didn’t happen. Once the penalty expires, they can’t do it", celebrates the Brazilian.
