    Bigfoot’s sentiments through his manager Alex Davis:

    “I don’t think that the Overeem fight is going to happen right now because Overeem has already committed to K-1, we’re hoping to fight Fedor. I think that’s a fight that makes sense. I think everybody wants to see it. We know that there have been historical problems with Fedor’s management, so right now, we’re waiting for Strikeforce to resolve them. I mean, we’d love to fight Fedor, but it’s like Antonio says, he’s not going to pick and choose opponents. He’s going to fight anybody they put in front of him.

    We just saw today that Strikeforce signed Barnett, another fight that Bigfoot would take gladly. Bigfoot is not in this business to pick and choose. His attitude is, if you’re a champion, you need to fight who people put in front of you. That’s the bottom line.

    Antonio says he doesn’t think Overeem has to think anything. He has to do whatever the president of Strikeforce says.


    Bigfoot is a little bit different than Overeem. He’ll fight anybody, be it Fedor, be it Werdum. Whoever Scott Coker puts in front of him, he’s taking the fight happily.”

    Bigfoot is there to provide futile resistance. He is a good fighter who may spring an upset.

    I think Bigfoot is more of a threat than people give him credit for.

    He just outboxed Arlovski. He almost knocked out Werdum, and he survived his ground game. If you get over his size and look, he is actually a skilled fighter with potential.

    Bigfoot is one win away from being mentioned in the elite category. I was surprised and impressed by how he beat Arlovski.

    It's true. Bigfoot seems big, strong, durable and he out struck Arlovski and did okay with Werdum's ground game. If he keeps improving his stand up and grappling then he may spring an upset.
