Sherdog Remembers: ‘Spider’ Taps Dan Henderson in C-Bus

On this day 10 years ago in Columbus, Ohio, in a meeting between two champions, Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight king Anderson Silva put away Pride Fighting Championships ace Dan Henderson with a second-round rear-naked choke at UFC 82.

This is how Sherdog.com recalled the action on March 1, 2008:

Anderson Silva is the best 185-pound fighter in the world.

The Brazilian UFC champion proved that definitively Saturday in Columbus, Ohio, with a second-round submission over the last man to hold the Pride belt in that division, Dan Henderson.
