Anderson Silva was said to be unbeatable after defeating his last 6 opponents, 5 KO’s and 1 submission. After beating Rich Franklin twice and the Middleweight Division looking very thin. Everyone was asking for Dan Henderson to move down and challenge Anderson”The Spider” Silva for the UFC Middleweight Titel. Henderson was wanting to stay at Light Heavyweight, he just went 5 rounds with Rampage Jackson, Franklin lost to Silva for the 2nd time. The UFC went begging for Henderson to drop and challenge Silva for the Middleweight Title. The news first was broken by Mr. Sunshine On his post UFC 78 Show. Now it’s on!! The Former Pride Middleweight Champion Dan Henderson against The Current UFC Champion Anderson Silva.
I’m a big Dan Henderson fan, he will scrap with anyone!! Love his style! I’m rooting for Henderson in this one. I can’t wait!
For the rest of the card see below:
Heath Herring vs. Cheick Kongo
Chris Leben vs. Alessio Sakara
Yushin Okami vs. Evan Tanner
Jon Fitch vs. Chris Wilson
Arlovski vs. Jake O’Brien
Luke Cummo vs. Luigi Fioravanti
Dustin Hazelett vs. Josh Koscheck
David Bielkheden vs. Diego Sanchez
Jorge Gurgel vs. John Halverson
This card is full of names, but one can argue these are one sided matchups.
I’m excited to see all of these fighters!
Tanner after a few years off and some personal issues, I can’t wait to see him back in the Octagon, and he is coming back against a tough SOB in Okami!!
