    UFC 82, Can Anyone Stop Anderson Silva?

    Sunday, March 2, 2008, 09:52 AM EST [UFC]

    Anderson Silva defended his middleweight title last night by defeating a game Dan Henderson last night at UFC 82 Henderson is a world class Greco-Roman wrestler (2 time Olympian ) With a devastating right hand, a granite chin and the heart of a Lion. Hendo has never been knocked out in his MMA career. Hederson earned the middleweight belt (Pride) with a vicious KO of Wandeleigh Silva in Pride 33. 

     This was supposed to be Anderson Silva's toughest test to date in the UFC, This one did not even last  2 Rds Henderson was able to win the 1st rd with a takedown and some "ground and pound" But  was rocked by a vicious knee by Silva late in rd 2 The fight went to the mat where a still groggy Henderson gave up his back and was submitted via rear naked choke.

     Since arriving in the UFC.Silva has KO'd Cris Leban, destroyed former middleweight champ Rich Franklin twice,submitted Travis Lutter and pounded out Nate Marquart.

     I can't think of anyone in the UFC at middleweight who can beat Silva at this point so here's a few suggestions I have for Dana White for future matchups for Silva

     Make Wandeliegh Silva move down a weight class to fight him

    Make  George St Pierre move up and fight him

    Give  Frank Shamrock whatever he wants and set up this dream match

     Other than that who's left for Silva to fight?
