'Bigfoot' blasts Palelei at UFC 190

Perhaps we shouldn't write Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva's career obituary just yet.

Thought to be on the heavyweight scrap heap after losing three of his last four, Silva bounced back in a big way at UFC 190, violently dispatching Soa Palelei with a second-round TKO.

After surviving an onslaught of vicious ground-and-pound in the waning moments of the first round, Silva took control early in the second, wobbling Palelei with an uppercut along the fence before unleashing a torrent of fists and knees until referee "Big" John McCarthy mercifully stepped in to save the Australian from further punishment at 0:41 of the second stanza.
