Silva comes over after a successful run in Strikeforce, where he made it to the semi-finals of the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix. “Big Country” could be fighting for his job at UFC 146, having only won one of his last four fights in the UFC. UFC 146 takes place on May 26 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada and it is headlined by a UFC Heavyweight Title Fight between champion Junior Dos Santos and Alistair Overeem.
