Tonight, one of the biggest questions in all of mixed martial arts will be answered - who is the greatest middleweight fighter in the world? UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson "The Spider" Silva will take on PRIDE 185lb. Champion Dan Henderson in a pivotal battle to determine the undisputed king of the middleweights in UFC 82: "Pride of a Champion". Silva has dominated his last 4 UFC opponents, none of which were easy fights at all. Taking then UFC Middleweight Champion Rich "Ace" Frankin out not once but twice, also submitting a Brizilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt in Nate Marquardt. The big question being - who can stop "The Spider?" Dan Henderson believes he's the man for the job, coming down out of the light heavyweight division and entering the UFC's middleweight division to test that theory. Henderson is not one to back down from any challenge, the man held both the 185lb. and the 205lb. PRIDE Titles at the same time. At the end of this night only one champion will remain, who will it be? Also scheduled are:
Anderson "The Spider" Silva vs. Dan Henderson
Cheick Kongo vs. Heath "Texas Crazyhorse" Herring
Josh "Kos" Koscheck vs. Dustin Hazelett
Diego "Nightmare" Sanchez vs. David Bielkheden
Andre Arlovski vs. Jake O'Brien
Yushin Okami vs. Evan Tanner
Jon Fitch vs. Chris Wilson
