Former UFC stars Antonio Silva and Gabriel Gonzaga are set to fight each other on October 19, in Tampa, Florida.
Interestingly though, the men will not be competing at an MMA promotion; instead, they’re taking part in David Feldman‘s Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.
BKFC‘s president shared his excitement in a recent press release: “I am very excited to have these two legends competing in the BKFC squared circle. They have fought and beat some of the best fighters in the world and now they will fight each other. Tampa is a great fight market and we are thrilled to be able to host another event there. The fans in Tampa love BKFC and we plan on giving them another great show.”
Antonio Silva, 39, decided to turn to kickboxing in 2017, after losing his last five consecutive fights in the UFC – four of which by knockout. He lost his GLORY kickboxing debut to Rico Verhoeven in October of the same year. Silva has not competed since but is scheduled to face off against Greg Tony at WKN World Cup 2019.
Gabriel Gonzaga, 40, was released from the UFC a year before his opponent; he took on boxing and had a victorious debut in October 2017. He then returned to MMA in May 2018, but lost to Alexander Emelianenko at RCC 2 via a TKO in the second round.
Both fighters are acquainted with each other, but Gonzaga claims they aren’t close. “I know him and he knows me, but we never trained together,” said Gonzaga, as reported by MMA Junkie.

Former UFC heavyweight title challenger Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva is the latest veteran to sign with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC).
The news was announced by the promotion on Thursday:
“We are happy to announce the signing of ‘Bigfoot’ Silva to our roster,” BKFC president David Feldman said in a statement. “He has fought and beat some of the best in the world. We have some intriguing matchups that we are talking about with him now. I really expect great [fights] from Antonio.”
There is no news on a potential debut date or opponent yet, but an update should be provided soon. However, a potential clash with newly-crowned BKFC heavyweight champion Chase Sherman could be in the works.
Silva was a former heavyweight title challenger in the UFC, boasting victories over the likes of Fedor Emelianenko, Alistair Overeem and Andrei Arlovski. However, he would only win once in his last 10 MMA fights. He was last seen competing in Glory Kickboxing where he suffered a second-round TKO defeat to Rico Verhoeven back in October 2017.
He joins a number of UFC veterans to have signed with BKFC such as Artem Lobov, Jason Knight and Leonard Garcia to name a few.

On a night featuring multiple UFC veterans, it was Kaleb Harris who shined the most during Bare Knuckle FC (BKFC) 7 which took place Saturday night at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Mississippi.
Harris took on Johnavan Vistante and delivered a vicious overhand right that dropped his 29-year-old opponent to the ground face-first. Vistante was attempting an uppercut, but unfortunately for him, Harris connected first.
You can see the replays below:
Vistante would announce his retirement on social media soon after:
“It was a good run,” he tweeted. “Had my first professional fight at 16. I loved every minute of it. It’s took me too long to realize that the dream of my children and family are more important than mine alone. It’s been real guys. I love every single one of y’all who have supported me. Thank u”
Other notable results included the main event which saw former UFC veterans Jim Alers and Leonard Garcia collide. Alers came out on top as he knocked the former featherweight down before proceeding to finish him in the first round.
Former UFC heavyweight Chase Sherman was also in action as he defeated Arnold Adams via unanimous decision in his second BKFC appearance. As a result, he claimed the promotion’s heavyweight title.
Helen Perlata also earned the promotion’s women’s featherweight title when she defeated Christine Ferea via unanimous decision.

Alexander Emelianenko has received a contract offer from Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships (BKFC). He is also expected to sign the deal in the coming days according to RT Sport.
Emelianenko, of course, is a controversial fighter given his past. He has been convicted of raping his housekeeper and sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison. He also withheld her passport, which is considered kidnapping, and forced the use of drugs on her. He had claimed the sex was consensual but was found guilty. That was in 2015.
Yet, in October of 2016, he was released on parole and returned to fighting a year later. Since he returned to fighting, he has gone 5-0-1, fighting in Russia. Yet, his legal issues continue to come up as he was arrested for a DUI, after crashing into two vehicles.
The brother of Fedor has been denied a Visa into the United States and had been pulled from a fight in California earlier in his career. There, the California State Atheltic Commission said he Hepatitis and would not be cleared by any commission in the USA.
Why BKFC would offer him a contract is unknown as he would not be allowed entry into the States. Or, would he be cleared by any commission. So, unless BKFC plans on having events in Russia, signing him makes no sense.
What do you make of BKFC signing Alexander Emelianenko?
