Silva wants Fedor fight

Antonio ‘Big Foot’ Silva has admitted he would like to fight Fedor Emelianenko in Strikeforce.

Silva is set to return to the USA, after 16 months away, and will face Fabricio Werdum at Strikeforce.

“Everything is going great! Werdum is a good fighter, very experienced, cautious with a good jiu-jitsu. He is famed among Strikeforce heavyweights and I want to be among the best ones to get the chance to fight Fedor, so I have to look for a knockout or a submission victory over him,” he told Brasil Combate.

“Every competitor from all sports wants to face off with the best and I would like to fight him so much. It’s hard to know how it would go on, after all, Fedor is good at any game.”

He added on the fight between Fedor Emelianenko at Brett Rogers at Strikeforce’s November 7th event: “A fight is fight and everything may happen but I don’t see Rogers knocking out or submitting Fedor, despite his heavy hands. If you observe, he goes towards the opponent with his guard opened and Fedor hits very well in the short distance. I will be rooting for Fedor to keep winning.”
