    Losing is a word that was always rare in UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva’s dictionary. The Brazilian hero has 24 appearances as a professional MMA fighter, accumulating 20 wins and only four losses, the last of which was in January of 2006 and by disqualification. The Jiu-Jitsu black belt will defend his belt for the fourth time this Saturday in Ohio at UFC 82, against perhaps the greatest threat to his reign, Pride middleweight champion Dan Henderson.

    I sifted through youtube and found Anderson’s last loss, when he was disqualified for knocking out his adversary Yushin Okami, (who will also be at UFC 82 facing Evan Tanner) with a blow deemed illegal in the event where the fight took place, Rumble on the Rock.

    Apparently Anderson has expressed interest in a possible boxing match with Roy Jones Jr. should he get through Hendo ( which i personally don't think he will, then again, i am a diehard Hendo fan i guess ).

    Fair play to the ref there, did sliva not realise the fight was being stopped?

    Nice strike though

    Im in two minds, i could see Hendo doing a Randy couture to him and wearing him down but at the same tyime I could defo see Silva's striking /triangle guard overwhelming and frustrating Dan causing him to get sloppy. Hard to tell. generally though to beat Anderson it takes a spectacular piece of technique that u just cant defend against.

    Thats what makes this such an exciting match-up though. Both have genuine chances to finish the other, its a pick-em fight.
