#2 Roy Nelson vs Antonio Silva
Trending
At UFC Fight Night 95 in his hometown of Brasilia, having lost four of his last five fights, Bigfoot Silva was either on the verge of being cut by the UFC or scripting a comeback straight from a movie. He was up against good friend Roy Nelson, whom he had helped train for his fight against Alastair Overeem at UFC 185.
Roy Nelson's dreaded right hand made sure it was the former. Big Country was coming off a disputable split decision loss to Derrick Lewis and his once-bright prospects had dimmed considerably.
In round 2, Nelson landed his right-hand square on Bigfoot's chin after noticing that the Brazilian didn't move his head off the center line. Referee Big John McCarthy stepped in after Big Country bounced a couple of more punches off Bigfoot's head. Nelson, furious because considered it a late stoppage, actually kicked McCarthy and gave him the finger.
He was fined and suspended for his actions, which was a light sentence, considering that the last fighter to get physical with a referee, Jason High, was cut by the UFC for his offence. Nelson now fights for Bellator and will face Matt Mitrione at Bellator 194.
