Dan Henderson Vs Anderson Silva @ UFC 82
This fight was for the UFC Middleweight Championship & Pride Welterweight Championship It was a unification title match.
I wasn't really too big on Hendo at this time i don't know i just didn't like him but he's okay now, and this was only Silva's 6th fight in the UFC and he was rolling through all of the competition with big wins over Rich Franklin, Nate Marquardt and Chris Leben. I remember watching this when it was on and I was pulling for Anderson to get the win here.
The first round stats with a feeling out process early, Anderson and Hendo would then trade some high kicks and inside leg kicks for a bit. Henderson took Silva down with about 2 minutes left in the fight but really couldn't get any ground and pound going.
Hendo wins this first round, 10-8.
We're off to the second round now, this was a scheduled five round fight but this wouldn't make it out of this second round. Hendo came into this round with a lot of confidence and might have been a little too cocky he started eating some nasty kicks and uppercuts from Silva, then he was taken down and Anderson would impose some ground and pound, ref stands the fighters up and Silva throws a big knee and Hendo ate it and was dropped but it wasn't enough to get the KO win for Silva, Anderson gets into a full mount and slaps on a rear naked choke and Dan taps out.
