UFC 82: The Pride of a Champion was held over the weekend at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, and the big winner that night was none other than Anderson Silva.  The 32-year-old Brazilian mixed martial artist took down PRIDE 183o-pound champion Dan Henderson nearly five minutes into the second round, defeating his American opponent with a rear naked choke and retaining his Middleweight title.

UFC fighter Chris Leben is known for his aggressive moves and no-nonsense attitude on the Octagon ring.  His back-to-back losses to Jason MacDonald and Kalib Starnes, however, led him to abandon his usual fighting style for a more disciplined attack, which worked well for him during his bout Terry Martin last September – for about two rounds anyway.
