FOX Sports 1 UFC Fight Night: Bigfoot vs. Mir viewing and schedule guide
The heavyweight division is deeper than ever before, but the two fighters competing in the main event on Saturday night from Brazil are battling for more than just a spot in the rankings.
Antonio 'Bigfoot' Silva is trying to bounce back after a rough and tumble year where he sat out under a suspension only to return and get finished by Andrei Arlovski in his last trip to the Octagon.
Meanwhile, former UFC champion Frank Mir walks into Brazil on a four fight losing streak with the weight of the world on his shoulders as he looks to return to the win column and reclaim a spot amongst the top fighters in the division.
Also on the card: Top 10 lightweight knockout artist Edson Barboza looks for another impressive win as he takes on Michael Johnson in the co-main event.
