Report: Rizin working on Fedor vs. Bigfoot II rematch BloodyElbow.com’s Karim Zidan (via Sportbox.ru) mentioned yesterday that the Japanese based Rizin promotion is interested in signing Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva and looked to schedule him in a rematch against Fedor Emelianenko. According to the Sportbox report, the promotion has already reached out to Bigfoot but no word on if the the Strikeforce veteran is currently a free agent or if he would be avaliable to fight at the end of the year. Back on Feb. 12th 2011 at Strikeforce: Bigfoot vs. Fedor, Silva defeated Emelianenko by TKO (injury) at the end of the second round due to the Russian not being able to see out of his right eye. It should be noted that Silva is 1-4 (1) over his past six fights, while Emelianenko hasn’t fought since a 2012 victory over Pedro Rizzo.
