Paulo Ceasar "Giant" Silva

At 7'5 and 360 pounds, Giant Silva is the biggest man ever to compete in PRIDE FC. But, there is more to this giant then just incredible size and power ... for his massive body he demonstrates an agility and quickness that often stuns those who watch him fight for the first time. This would have much to do with Silva's background, which included playing center for the Brazilian national basketball team in the Seoul and Barcelona Olympic games. From there he began a successful career in professional wrestling, which often saw the giant attempt such high-flying moves as jumping off the top rope! Now eager to prove himself in real fighting, Silva brings his awesome size and strength to the PRIDE FC ring.
