Bigfoot Silva: Andrei Arlovski is coming off two KO losses -- and I plan to exploit this

"After my fight against (Fabricio) Werdum I started to do my own camp and now I have a more specific training for my fights. I’m ready to fight standing and on the ground. Arlovski’s ground game is neither horrible nor refined. I’m feeling very well on my feet. Arlovski comes off two KO losses and I plan to exploit this even knowing he’s a striker. I can also take him to the mat but you will see the 'Bigfoot' of my first eight fights. I’m trying to be more aggressive with more attitude compared to my last bout against Werdum. I want to say thank you to my fans, family and sponsors that gave me support for this preparation."
The one and only Elite XC Heavyweight Champion Antonio Silva prepares for his 265-pound mash up against former UFC Heavyweight Champion Andrei Arlovski tomorrow night (May 15) from the Scottstrade Center in St. Louis. "Bigfoot" promises a return to form, following a disappointing loss to Fabricio Werdum on CBS last November. Can "The Pitbull" be housebroken by the hard-hitting Brazilian on Saturday night? Or will Arlovski rise from the ashes and return to heavyweight relevance at the expense of Silva? Predictions please.

AA by decision
I think AA is mentally broken but Big Foot doesn’t have anything in his arsenal that will put Andrei in any real danger. Hope it’s a good fight.
So really, who has the biggest head in MMA??
Is it Tito
Or is it Bigfoot??
I think Tito’s still got this, but it can’t be by much.

Personally I think Bigfoot's head is longer
More of an oval shape giganticism; whereas Tito’s got the box shape going on and it comes to a point at the top so for me the point at the top seals the deal for Ortiz here.

I'll see your Tito and raise you a Hong Man Choi.

No way - Bigfoot's head is massive.

Turn Bigfoot's head upside down and you get Tito's teardrop shaped head.
Silva’s may be more like a monster, but it matches the rest of his body. Tito’s head reminds me of a silver-backed gorilla. If we’re talking biggest that has to be Bigfoot. If we’re talking the best, that has to go to Jenna Jameson.
I like Big Foot in this fight...
He has a good chin and the mental edge over AA. Although If AA loses, he may spin of into an early grave (I am not being funny in the least, just keep thinking how depressed he has been since skidding from the top). I also think the size advantage may just be to much for AA to overcome.
I was a fool for ever doubting Shogun. I should be ashamed for never giving him a chance to get healthy. Shogun made Machida look B-level-Just like my bet made me look b-level!
Well he did admit to playing a game of russian roulette after the Rogers fight.....
ballsy and retarded as shit .
