Late Tuesday night, Antonio Silva got his wish: Cain Velasquez will make his first UFC Heavyweight title defense of current reign against “Big Foot” at UFC 160 on May 25th in Las Vegas. The two faced off last December in a one-sided affair that was won by Velasquez. Since then, Velasquez has gone on to reclaim his crown while Silva defeated Alistair Overeem in what turned out to be a title eliminator bout.
