  - ASSUERIO SILVA VACATES BELT, SIGNS WITH HCF
Saturday, March 15, 2008 - by MMAWeekly.com
Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran Assuerio Silva has vacated his Pancrase heavyweight title and signed a contract with Hardcore Championship Fighting.
“I’ve signed with HCF and my first fight will be on May 10, but I don’t know against who it’ll be,” Silva told Brazilian website Tatame.com. “I believe that in a month they’ll give me my opponent, after the event of March 29.”
He indicated that the contract with HCF is for five fights.
Silva had several opportunities in the UFC, but hasn’t fared well in the Octagon, losing all three of his fights there. After losing a majority decision to Cheick Kongo early last year at UFC 70, he moved on to Pancrase where he immediately captured the promotions heavyweight title by defeating Tatsuya Mizuno in May.
He said he has had difficulty in finding opponents since that time and has been waiting for the right opportunity to come along. Although Silva did field offers from Pancrase, in the end, he determined that his current best option was to sign with HCF.
