 I am always amazed at the reaction I get in cities in the United States and it gives me a good feeling. I appreciate it very much. It only makes me want to give a better performance. I am really happy to be in Chicago and I have enjoyed my time here. This is going to be a good fight. Brett Rogers is a good opponent who is undefeated. Fighting in a cage will be different, but I have trained in a cage before.”

 I think it’s funny how some people are underestimating me. I’m shocked at the odds. I should be the favorite. But oddsmakers’ jobs are to make money and to get action. I’m going to turn this into a brawl. I’m not interested in turning it into a hugging contest, which is what he may do. I want to keep the fight at a fast pace, while I think Jake will want to slow it down and grind it out. It’s possible, if I have my way, and Shields does his part, that we will have the fight of the night.”

 I have prepared very hard for a good fight and that’s what I expect. I think this fight will have a little bit of everything. He’s a very strong opponent and has lost only once. I want to fight the best, but my focus is always on my next fight. So, right now, my concentration is totally on Silva. I have to win Saturday so I can continue to do what I want to do.”

 I am very happy to be fighting again in the United States against a very worthy opponent on CBS. I had a fight in late September, but that only lasted one round. But I trained very hard before that and I trained very hard after it. I’ve been training daily for about four straight months. There was a time, in the beginning, after I was told I couldn’t fight, that I actually doubted that I’d be able to fight again. But as time went on, and things progressed and everything was solved, I became more confident. Still, it was a huge relief when I was told I could fight again. I am ready for Saturday and prepared for anything he has to offer and ready to go anywhere the fight goes.”
- Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva |
