As Strikeforce nixes heavyweights, recovering Antonio Silva eyes move to UFC

With consecutive wins over Fedor Emelianenko, Mike Kyle and Andrei Arlovski, former EliteXC champ Antonio Silva looked well on his way to establishing himself as one of MMA's top heavyweights.

Then he ran into Daniel Cormier, who booted Silva out of Strikeforce's heavyweight grand prix with a surprising first-round knockout.

As it turns out, the loss provided Silva with a valuable lesson he promises to carry with him for the remainder of his career - a career that looks as if may now play out in the UFC.
