News Bigfoot Silva vs Juan Espino

Really excited about this fight - can't wait to see what tricks Bigfoot has added to his game of late. He might need to call on both of his black belts in Judo and BJJ against the White Lion, who is an elite grappler.

This is a big step up in level of opponent for Bigfoot recently, and he will be fighting Juan in Juan's home town, so Antonio must be feeling confident in what he brings. With that being said, I'm not sure if this is going to be kind of an exhibition match, or what the rules are going to be.

 
I've heard Hector Lombard will also be on this card.
 
Bigfoot needs to just shoot takedowns constantly. His brain has gotta be near the consistency of a smoothie by now.
 
Was just reading this a day or so back. His call as I always say but I do hope these guys are doing it cause they can't stop not because they are desperate.

Ah well it's the old wrestler syndrome type of situation. I saw Jimmy Snuka at a local Gym at the tail tail end of his career.

I think it will be more of an exhibition, maybe even a grappling match.
