UFC vet Antonio Silva suffers TKO loss in MMA return, protests stoppage

The return of Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva did not go as planned this past weekend.

Silva returned to mixed martial arts competition for the first time since suffering a second-round knockout loss to Vitaly Minakov at Fight Nights Global 68: Pavlovich vs. Mokhnatkin in 2017. On Sunday night, he met Quentin Domingos at Megdan Fighting 9 in Sabac, Serbia and looked to snap the longest losing streak of his professional career. Unfortunately, Silva was unable to do just that as he suffered yet another technical knockout loss, but it may have come with some controversy.

In the second round, Silva and Domingos start exchanging shots in the middle of the ring when the former Strikeforce and UFC heavyweight drops to the canvas after a combination.
