Thank You for dropping out of your fight against Antonio Silva. Not only have the fans been rewarded with a better fight but we also don't have to worry about StrikeForce trying to sell us Big Foot vs Overeem in the near future. Atleast I hope not.
Anyone else think if Big Foot won StrikeForce may have tried to make Overeem vs Silva. I already know that Alistair would more than likely want to fight Silva after he beat up his brother. Hopefully Antonio beating Mike Kyle wont make Overeem demand a Big Foot fight.
Also, Mike Kyle vs Antonio Silva should make for an exciting fight it offers a big man vs the littler man fight and should be entertaining. I think it will end with a decision or stoppage for Antonio.
Dont feel bad Valentijn and get better, and hey, you'll always have this

I'd be perfectly cool with Silva vs Alistair.
Not only is Silva a very credible opponent, he's also the only top SF hwy who wants to fight the other top SF heavies.
but yeah Kyle makes for a better fight then Valentijn. And the short notice brings a level of intrigue.

This fight not happening sucks for this exact reason. Why don't you want Silva to have a shot at Overeem?

I want to see them fight just not next
I would rather see Overeem fight Werdum or Fedor next and see Silva fight Barnett

i remeber once reading that if you violate a suspension to go fight elsewere in another country then the commision might not approve you fight in the same state when you come back. i know this wasnt the case with bigfoot after he went to go fight in japan after he got busted with roids and then came back however will the cali commision say anything about josh fighting in cali after ditching his hearing several times to go fight in japan.

This! I really want to see Bigfoot vs Reem bad. I think it would be a great fight and could see Bigfoot walking out with a win.
