For Antonio Silva, this past Saturday’s Strikeforce
heavyweight grand prix bout with Fedor Emelianenko
was the opportunity of a lifetime.
The Brazilian heavyweight made good on his promise to shock the world by
forcing a doctor’s stoppage at the end of the second round and handing
Emelianenko his second consecutive defeat.
Silva’s manager, Alex Davis, believes the win was just the first of many
high-profile wins on the horizon for his client. He also questions the
wisdom behind Emelianenko’s decision to fight Silva and says “The Last
Emperor” may have some very difficult decisions on the horizon.
