Can?t Say We Didn?t See This One Coming: ?Bigfoot? Says He Was Injured Heading Into Fight With Cormier

(With a head that big, it's no wonder "Bigfoot" has sore shoulders) Chael Sonnen told me during an interview a couple years back that guys who go into a fight 100 percent healthy either didn't train hard enough or they're liars. What he was referring to was the growing number of fighters who make excuses for losses or less than stellar wins after the fact by revealing that they were nursing an injury during the fight or training camp, since pretty much everyone has some kind of ailment or boo-boo come fight day. Well, we can add another name to the list. Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva tells Tatame that he had a shoulder injury and was on anti-inflammatories when he was upset by heavyweight grand prix alternate Daniel Cormier Saturday night at Strikeforce: Barnett vs. Kharitonov in Cincinnati. Apparently the first jab he ate from the AKA fighter made him feel uncharacteristically dizzy and it was this bit of vertigo that led to him getting knocked out.
