EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Prior to Saturday night’s event at the IZOD Center in East Rutherford, N.J., Antonio Silva told anyone willing to listen that he was going to hand Fedor Emelianenko his second-straight defeat.
When it came time to deliver on his promise, Silva made good.
After an evenly matched opening round, Silva battered Emelianenko from
start to finish in the second frame and earned a TKO stoppage in the
main event of the Showtime-broadcast event. Following the loss, “The Last Emperor” suggested his reign may be over.
