Big fight tonight for the UFC tonight at UFC 82. Middleweight Champion, Anderson “The Spider” Silva defends against Dan Henderson who was the Pride Champion when Pride was purchased by UFC. Silva is being groomed to become the face of UFC and you know that UFC main man Dana White is pulling for Silva to win this fight. If the Pride guy comes in and knocks off your best guy it would have to feel like a kick in the nuts. White is confident about Silva though, telling the LA Times:
“If Anderson walks through Dan Henderson, this guy is our Mike Tyson,” UFC President Dana White said this week.
If he’s talking about the Mike Tyson that used to scare other fighters until they peed their pants and fell down 30 seconds into the fight that’s a good thing. If he’s talking about the Mike Tyson that raped beauty queens, bit people’s ears off, and threatened to eat children, then that’s a bad thing.
