Diana's Martial Arts BlogUFC 82 - Silva Chokes Out Henderson!Dan Henderson didn't expect this type of finish. The former Olympian and PRIDE champ fell victim to a rear naked choke at the hands of Anderson Silva. Normally a striker, Silva looked perfectly comfortable on the ground, sinking the choke at 4:52 in the second round.
Another former champ had better luck. Andrei Arlovski easily won his match, which was not aired. The popular fighter might be done in the UFC though. Arlovski's contract has expired. Fans are hoping that the negotiations are successful, and that the Pitbull can return to his old, explosive fighting style. Diego Sanchez also had no problems taking a win in his match. Sanchez defeated UFC rookie David Bielkheden in the first round via strikes. The next UFC ppv event will be UFC 83 on April 19th, in Montreal, Canada. The headline fight is a rematch between Georges St-Pierre and Matt Serra. Rich Franklin will also be fighting, against a win hungry Travis Lutter.
