Cage Rage, Cage Warriors and EliteXC heavyweight champion, Antônio “Bigfoot” Silva is anxious to fight again. Without fighting since January, when he defeated Yoshihiro Nakao at Sengoku, the Brazilian will face Jim York at September 23^rd. “I’m getting crazy to fight again… I’ll go inside for another victory. I’m anxious to fight, feel that energy”, said the heavyweight, who already studied his opponent.

“He has two fights at Sengoku, and was knocked out by Nakao, who I just won. I wanna get there physically well, I’ll go there to submit or to knock him out, I don’t like to let the result with the judges”, guarantees. With the victory, Silva will have the chance to earn his fourth belt in the career. “Sengoku’s president confirmed that, if I win, I’ll face Josh Barnett for the title, in November”, reveals Bigfoot, excited. “I already have three at home… I’ll do a collection”, jokes.
