LET THE TRASH TALK BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UFC 82 "Pride of a Champion" will emanate from the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio on March 1st with a main event of Anderson Silva vs. Dan Henderson.
It will be the second ever UFC vs. PRIDE title-unification bout, both of which featured Henderson representing the PRIDE championship.
Henderson's first unification bout was at UFC 75 "Champion vs. Champion," a free-Spike TV presentation from England which saw his opponent - UFC 205 lb. champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson - leave the cage with both titles.
Henderson has been told his whole career that he should be fighting in the 185 lb. Middleweight class, but has for the most-part spent his time in the ring (or cage) fighting bigger guys, and compiling a solid record of wins against top fighters in a division north of his natural fighting weight.
On March 1st, Henderson will have another chance to unify a title as he drops down to 185 lbs. to challenge the seemingly unstoppable UFC Middleweight king - Anderson "The Spider" Silva. The two will fight in the main event of the show, which airs on pay-per view.
Tickets for UFC 82 "Pride of a Champion" go on sale first to the UFC Fight Club members on Thursday, December 27th at 10AM EST. Tickets will be available through Ticketmaster.com.
