Antonio 'Bigfoot' Silva was one of the most imposing heavyweights of his era, a giant of a man whose career ran through EliteXC, Strikeforce and the UFC. He combined size and power with an underrated jiu-jitsu game, and at his peak he was dangerous enough to upset a heavily favored Alistair Overeem with a memorable knockout and to push champion Cain Velasquez.
His defining moment was a 2013 war with Mark Hunt - a five-round heavyweight slugfest that ended in a draw and is still cited among the greatest fights of all time. The chin betrayed him late in his career, but his place in heavyweight lore was already secure. Fans remember Bigfoot for the size, the big knockouts and that unforgettable battle with Hunt.
