'Bigfoot' Silva: 'The first punch that I really land, he’s going to go down."

BJPENN.COM News - May 16, 2013

So I need to work with what I have, and what I have is very, very heavy hands. “So, I’m going to need to keep my hands healthy and heavy to go in there and I’m sure that the first punch that I really land, he’s going to go down.”
