Silva wants rematch with Werdum after dispatching of Arlovski at Strikeforce St. Louis

After a two-fight stint in Japan, Strikeforce heavyweight contender
Antonio Silva’s return to the U.S. didn’t go exactly as planned.

The first and only EliteXC heavyweight champion, Silva dropped a close decision to fellow Brazilian Fabricio Werdum at this past November’s Strikeforce and M-1 Global co-promoted “Fedor vs. Rogers” event.

Now Silva is set to face former UFC champion Andrei Arlovski at May’s
“Strikeforce St. Louis: Heavy Artillery,” and “Bigfoot” says it’s his
shot at redemption.
