Chris Leben’s Next Fight… UFC 82 Dan Henderson vs Anderson Silva Fight Night
Coming off of a sweet victory over Terry Martin at Ultimate Fight Night 11, Chris Leben is getting ready to face off with Alessio Sakara at UFC 82. The event will take place on March 1, 2008 at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus Ohio, the same night that Anderson Silva will take on Dan Henderson for the UFC Middleweight championship. Henderson’s coming off of a loss in which he had a light heavyweight title shot against Quinton Rampage Jackson. Henderson didn’t get the Light Heavyweight Belt, now he’s getting a shot at the light heavyweight belt? How does that work? Shouldn’t there be some fights in between? I guess that Henderson’s performance against Rampage, which was a very close fight all the way, is enough to give him that shot for the middleweight belt. Although in my opinion, Anderson Silva is going to be a tougher battle for Henderson.

You do know Dan Henderson was the champ at 185 in Pride, and that’s why he is getting an immediate title shot at Silva? Have you ever seen Rampage fight before he came to the UFC? How can you say Silva will be a harder test, when he is a much better wrestler than Silva, and also throws heavy punches? Silva is for sure a very hard test for Henderson but to say he is a harder test than Rampage doesn’t sound very convincing. What’s your reasoning behind it?
