A big heavyweight battle..



Antonio Silva and Fabricio Werdum both spoke at today's Strikeforce and M-1 Global press conference, here are the highlights…

Antonio Silva: "It has been a while since I have fought in the States. It's great to be part of a card that includes fighters like Fedor and Brett Rogers. I've come to seek what I think is mine. I will be working very hard for that. Werdum is a fighter of many qualities. He's fought in many events. He has strengths and weaknesses. I've been training very hard in Jiu-Jitsu and standing up with my coach. I just came out of a fight in Japan and have been fighting ever since. It is do or die. It is a big fight and it is very important. I have come and I am ready to lay it down."

Fabricio Werdum: "I am very happy to be here. This is a great opportunity for me. I think the Mike Kyle fight was hard, but I'm ready for all fighters. I have trained a lot and have trained with the best fighters and coaches in the world. My focus now is on this big fight. After that, my goal would be to fight Fedor or Rogers. But I know I can't look ahead. For me, the future is Saturday.''
