UFC 82 Video/ Anderson Silva Beats Dan Henderson

Anderson Silva confirmed his status as the best pound-for-pound fighter in MMA by submitting former Olympic wrestler Dan Henderson in the second round of their highly-anticipated UFC 82 battle Saturday night.



Silva, the UFC middleweight champ, used a rear-naked choke on Henderson, forcing the challenger to tap with eight seconds left in the round.



The underdog Henderson proved himself a worthy opponent. He actually won the first round after bringing Silva to the canvas with a wrestling move, but Silva got to Henderson in the second with a knee to the chin followed by powerpunches. Silva then tried for submission, and was successful.
