This is the fight that makes the most sense. Bigfoot Silva was just knocked out by Andrei Arlovski. He needs a couple months off for surgery to remove a cyst from his pituitary gland, but once back, Bigfoot vs. Big Country just sells itself. Both these guys have power and could knock one another silly. Both have name value and have been top ten heavyweights throughout their career. One would take a bump back to relevance with a win over the other. If Bigfoot can return within an adequate timeframe, this is the fight to make. It easily headlines a card in Brazil or a smaller card in the U.S. The only real snag is that if Bigfoot pushes to fight in Brazil for the second time in his career, Nelson may wish to return stateside after fighting his last two bouts overseas.
