Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva Joins Team Nogueira

[WrestlingSmarks News]

Antonio Silva has a new team. The former American Top Team standout left that camp a while ago and was working at Imperial Athletics with the likes of Rashad Evans and Jorge Santiago. Apparently he has decided to change it up and will join forces with one of the top teams in MMA - Team Nogueira. He tweeted it about it last night:
