Brazilian behemoth Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva came into his UFC on FX bout against Travis Browne riding a two-fight losing streak, but the 266-pound heavyweight employed his fists ? particularly, a massive right hand ? to right his course and notch a much-needed win via technical knockout in the early half of the first round.
Of course, it helped that Browne ? himself 246 pounds and on a three-fight win streak ? injured his knee with the very first high-kick he threw.� To Browne's credit, the bum knee didn't visibly manifest itself until about a minute in, by which point he'd already picked at the former EliteXC champ with low-kicks from the outside and squirmed out of a potentially deadly tie-up against the cage.� But with each subsequent step Browne grew more and more hobbled, and sensing vulnerability, Bigfoot lunged in and planted his fist squarely against Browne's jawline.� The smaller man crumpled against the cage, and when Bigfoot followed up with a barrage of punches, referee Herb Dean wasted no time jumping in.
The stoppage was official at 3:27 of the first round.
With the win, Antonio Silva reestablishes himself as a force in the UFC's heavyweight division.
