Bare Knuckle FC 8: Silva vs. Gonzaga - October 19 (OFFICIAL DISCUSSION)
Wed Sep 11, 2019 5:00 pm
UFC heavyweight veterans Antonio
will collide in the main event of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship’s upcoming event in Tampa, Fla., on Oct. 19, the promotion announced Wednesday.
Both fighters will be making their debuts in bare knuckle bouts.
Silva (19-12, 1 no-contest) hasn’t fought since Oct. 2017, when he lost via second-round knockout to Rico Verhoeven in his kickboxing debut at Glory. As a mixed martial artist, “Bigfoot” has been finished in seven of his last 10 fights, winning only once since 2013.
Aside from his BKFC debut, the former UFC heavyweight title contender is set to return to kickboxing on Nov. 30, facing Gregory Tony for the WKN super heavyweight title in Auckland, New Zealand.
Gonzaga (17-12), who also challenged for the UFC heavyweight title at one point of his career, announced his retirement from MMA after losing to Derrick Lewis in the UFC, but came back in May 2018 to lose to Aleksander Emelianenko via TKO.
Between those bouts, “Napao” made his professional boxing debut in Worcester, winning a majority decision. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist is 1-5 over his last six MMA bouts with four of those defeats coming by knockout or TKO.
