UFC 82

Anderson 'the spider' silva vs 'hollywood' Dan henderson

Anderson 'The Spider' Silva

Strengths:

- muay thai
- black belt in bjj
- vicious strikes

'Hollywood' Dan Henderson

strengths :
-strength
-ground and pound
-world class greco roman wreslter

Analysis

Both fighters have world class ground skills, but dan henderson's supior strength i think would give him the upper hand on the floor. if he can get anderson on his back and control him, he could make it extremely hard for the ufc middleweight champion, but anderson silva could easily catch dan in submission. whereas anderson has a clear advantage standing up, he has vicious strikes and could put away any fighter at 185 lbs with a punchs, kicks, knees or elbows.he also has a destructive muay thai clinch which he demonstrated againest rich franklin in there first fight.

Prediction

the only way i can see dan henderson provailing as the victor in this fight, is if he can keep anderson on his back and by utlising some ground and pound, but anderson is such a good all round mixed martial artist that i think he will overwelm HOLLYWOOD dan anderson and win by way of either submission or knockout and there by validating his place as the best fighter at 185 lbs in the world.
