Former UFC heavyweights Gabriel Gonzaga and Antonio Silva probably had no business fighting – let alone fighting each other – in a bare-knuckle boxing match, but they did anyway on Saturday night at Bare Knuckle FC 8 in Tampa, Fla. And let’s just say it ended how you probably expected, with one of them getting beat down in brutal fashion. As it turned out, the victim was “Bigfoot” Silva, who absorbed an onslaught of punches from Gonzaga in the second round, including a big uppercut and crushing left hand, before crashing hard onto the canvas.
