SACRAMENTO -- Silva has dominated all martial arts he participates in. From his years in Pride, to the Middleweight UFC champion, to his domination in the boxing world, most recently fighting Tyrone Woodley and his exhibitions with Bruno Machado and famed podcaster Chael Sonnen. An all-around killer, mixing Muay Thai and Taekwondo. An obvious master of stand up fighting.

What more could this man want? There is one place left he can leave his mark. On the mats.

His next target is RAF, Real American Freestyle. This bizarre show on the Fox Nation network started by the late Terry "Hulk Hogan" Bollea and Eric Bischoff of the WWE. Silva will now enter the world of unscripted wrestling and reign king of the unitards. Here again he will meet Chael Sonnen as the undercard for the upcoming Colby Covington match. Instead of donning gloves Silva and Sonnen will meet on the mat freestyle to see who pins who first. This is a real escape from their traditional roles in sports entertainment, and a reversal for both in terms of carrer direction.

Even more interesting, the winner of the match will get their own show on Fox Nation after Judge Jeanine Pirro's show. This one is for keeps. Exciting times.
