LAS VEGAS – Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva hardly had the look of a man being thrown to the wolves three days before a fight with former UFC champion Cain Velasquez.
Despite his status as a promotional newcomer and massive underdog, Silva looked relaxed at open workouts in support of UFC 146, where he faces Velasquez in the co-main event.
“I like it when I’m not a favorite,” Silva said. “I’m so relaxed. Now I’m in the same situation as the Fedor (Emelianenko) fight.”
