On paper however Dan Henderson, (22-6) has actually faced, and defeated the tougher competition. Henderson is currently the #8 pound-4-pound fighter in MMA and is the #1 contender for Anderson’s belt heading into tonight’s bout. Stylistically, Silva is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter while Henderson is the  wrestler. Both of these fighters however are among the best strikers in MMA history. Silva has a very diverse, lightning quick strikes that come from all angles at any given moment. Henderson is not quite as fast as Silva, but Dan’s right hand has more one punch KO power than any of Silva’s strikes. BodogLife.com has Andre Arlovski as a -350 MMA favorite this Saturday night in UFC 82 Andrei Arlovski vs Jack O'Brien.

The 6'1" Henderson will be the stronger man having competed mostly in the 205 Lb. division and he has a better chin than Silva. The 37-year old Henderson however is more susceptible to cuts and he has been injury prone leading up to his fights. The 6'2" Silva is in his prime right now and is probably the most well-rounded fighter in the UFC with sound technique in Muay-Thai, Boxing and Jiu-Jitsu. While Dan Henderson is a beast with a purple heart, I feel that Silva’s superior all-around skills and speed, should be able to overcome his disadvantages in size and wrestling ability to score a win. BodogLife.com has Cheick Kongo as a -175 MMA betting favoritefor UFC 82 Saturday night in Cheick Kongo vs Heath Herring.
