Mixed martial arts (MMA) legend Wanderlei Silva’s fighting days aren’t over just yet. Silva will put down his gloves and instead fight bare-knuckle moving forward.
FanSided reports that the 43-year-old has signed a contract with the Bare-Knuckle FC (BKFC) promotion. No opponent or date for Silva’s BKFC debut has been revealed, but an announcement is expected during their next event. Silva holds an MMA record of 35-14-1 and hasn’t fought since September of last year where he suffered a second-round TKO loss to Quinton “Rampage” Jackson at Bellator 206.
Currently on a two-fight losing streak in MMA, Silva hasn’t tasted victory since his 2013 win over Brian Stann, who he knocked out in the second round of their UFC on Fuel TV meeting. Venturing into bare-knuckle boxing is an odd decision from Silva, considering he recently suggested he’s suffering from several signs of CTE.
“I was in a lecture about concussion and of the 10 symptoms the guy mentioned, I had eight,” Silva said in a recent interview with the Brazilian website PVT (h/t MMA Fighting). “The symptoms would be, for example, mood swings, getting angry very fast, forgetting some things, having difficulty sleeping.”

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.
