OMG! that was a good fight! OMG! Am I glad I was wrong in my prediction. The fight started off really intense. Silva walked out the most nervous I have ever seen him. Dan just had that big smile that he always has. The Bell rang and the two fighters meet in the middle of the octagon Dan put his hand out to touch glove and Silva did not touch gloves. Was Silva to nervous? was he mad at Henderson? I don’t know but I have never seen Silva like this before. Normally Silva is very humble and cool, this time he came out nervous and in the second round he went head hunting. Like if Anderson had something to prove. The fight was a little slow at first until Dan shoots and takes down Silva. Henderson stayed on Silva for the rest of the round throwing hammer fists and elbows what ever he can use. Anderson just hung on and waited patiently them Henderson move to side control and Silva spins out and put Dan in his guard, ten seconds later the bell rang. second round started and Anderson is a whole new man he is constantly working and keep the pace. Dan shoots again and Silva stays on top of Dan, then Dan stands back up and put Anderson against the fence. After a little bit a dirty boxing from Dan they move away and Anderson catches Henderson with a left shin kick to the face. Henderson is trying to get away but Anderson keeps give rights to Dans face and Dan falls to the ground. Anderson quickly goes to half mount and drops elbows like crazy on Dan. Henderson re-groups and takes control of Silva by keeping him close and hold him down. They both were staying busy for a little until you hear Herb Dean say “lets work! lets work!” and Silva starts drooping some pretty big bombs on Henderson but Henderson is still hanging in there. Dan gets in real trouble when Silva gets his back and mounts with the hooks. Henderson rolls over with Silva still on his back and Anderson slips in a body triangle. Anderson starts drooping those bomb again, some elbows and hooks. Dan is really not doing anything to defend him self right now(but who could?). Dan rolls over again on his stomach with Silva still on his back. Anderson takes advantage of the situation and tries to go for a “Rear Naked Choke”. Dan rolls over one more time and Anderson sinks the choke deep and Dan taps out. Anderson Silva defends his title again by defeating Dan Henderson at at 4 mins 52 seconds of Round 2 via Rear Naked Choke.

First of all I would like to say this fight is bull. sure it would be a killer fight but I don’t think Dan Henderson deserves another titled match. Dan came off of a loss from Rampage ( I know it was a different weight class) and I don’t care how many belts you have or how many weight classes you are in. If you are coming off a loss you should not get a title match. I only watch the UFC because of the fighters, I hate the leadership that the UFC has. They want MONEY! MONEY! MONEY! They are just making this fight for money. Dan Henderson should at least fight Rich Franklin, Rob Yunt or even Travis Lutter first before a title match. Dan is the man I’m not taking anything away from Henderson, it just that Silva is the Champ and he should be treated like a champ. Fighters should earn a title shot in the UFC, not earn it in PRIDE and then fight in the UFC. Rampage was a PRIDE bad ass and he didn’t get a title shot for his first fight. Rampage fought and proved him self to fight Chuck for the title. Dan comes in and gets a title shot and losses then turns around and gets another title shot. Dan I like you allot I’m a big fan but I don’t think you should get a title shot this early.

My prediction is that Dan Henderson will knock out Anderson Silva in the second round. Anderson I’m a big fan but I saw how Henderson did against Rampage and I’m worried for you. My heart is going for Silva but my brain is going for Henderson. I like both of these fighters and it is going to be a killer fight if not the best fight in MMA history. Good luck to the both of you.
