If you're questioning the validity of this report coming out of Brazil, then you're essentially calling Big Nog a liar -- and I'm sure he wouldn't like that. There's no amount of pain that you can inflict on Big Nog that can make him notice that you exist. Strap a hydrogen bomb to this dude's eyelid, detonate it and he still wouldn't budge. So I'm almost certain that any arsenal keyboard warriors have in store won't even enter Nogueira's orbit. Save it for the UG.

Portal do Vale Tudo is reporting Big Nog revealed this morning in his weekly column for Rio's 'Extra' that Bigfoot Silva is indeed coming to the UFC in April and his first opponent appears to be former UFC heavyweight champion, Cain Velasquez. That's a lot to digest this Saturday morning, but I'm sure you left a little space just after breakfast. This story is gluten-free and low in carbohydrates. Reading this article has made you a healthy person. Here's the English translation of the Brazilian report if you're still interested in reading more news aside from MiddleEasy. [Source]

Mother of God, that is a good fight. I pick Bigfoot to win via Easter Island head KO.

Easy win for Cain. Cain vs. Carwin would be better.

Awesome to see both of them returning, love Bigfoot, but I just wanna see Cain back. First round TKO for Cain.

Uhm, he was unconscious from the JDS punches... seemed pretty obvious from his facing-down lifeless corpse just taking those shots to the ear.

holy fuck. remember when the heavyweight division consisted of guys like Kevin Jordan, Paul Buentello and Justin Eilers? Not anymore. The UFC heavyweight division is filled with killers now.

What the? Shouldn't they have put Bigfoot up against a striker? I feel like Bigfoot Silva will be fired some time in April. Maybe after a trip to Sweden. And probably by this guy:

Why the thumbs down? I just think Cain's combination of hands and wrestling... Shit, Mike Kyle nearly took him out. That's all I'm saying. I like Bigfoot, but C'mon Man!

You don't think Cain is a "Striker"? What the F? He has finished 8 out of 9 fights by TKO/KO! So, who IS a striker then?

So if Bigfoot wins then Strikeforce was the best after all?

I like this fight.

Mostly because I want to see people confuse Giant Silva with Bigfoot Silva again.

This is a bad fight either way, unless its a fight on Fox and they want another KO on the card, then sure its fine, but I think its just bad. Shane Carwin is reportedly fighting Daniel Cormier as well right? Another bad fight, Carwin has been out for a while, took the JDS fight in place of Brock on a whim and look at him now. They need to throw people who come back from injury slightly easier/fairer fights imo, Brock should not have fought Overeem. He should of fought a guy like Nelson or Kongo or Mitrione, etc... to strengthen his record, not a top notch guy who's one of the best in the division.

Good fight for sure, hard to call this one, but after seeing what Cormier did to Big Foot, have to think the edge goes to Cain in this one. Than again, Big Foot hits hard for the most part, even though he couldnt finish Arlvoski and the Fedor fight should have went to the next round. That and it'll have been a long while since he last competed, be interesting see how Ring Rust affects him

Tim Sylvia vs Bigfoot Silva. Now that is something I'd love to see.

Who did Bigfoot piss off? Cain via murder/destruct ion.

So, does Dana want every fighter that beats Fedor? And, Silva's coming off a loss to fight the previous ufc heavyweight champ? WTF

Crazy freaky Japan\Pride matchmaking, yet somehow still very awesome and probably won't last more than 3 minutes tops.

Cormier whips Bigfoot's ass and Cormier and Velasquez are training partners, I see Velasquez as the better of the two so logically, Velasquez will brutally crush Bigfoot.

I'm going with Bigfoot. Some odd reason I think he'll batter Cain around and then eat some tacos when he's done.

I was hoping to see Mir vs Cain and thought it made more sense... but I guess this matchup is interesting.
