UFC 82 preview; MMA on CBS

by

Dan Henderson lost his Pride welterweight title to Quentin Jackson last year. He has a chance for redemption tonight against Anderson “The Spider” Silva (20-4).

Henderson also holds the Pride middleweight title, and he will unify the belts in his bout with UFC champ Silva at UFC 82: Pride of a Champion in Columbus, Ohio.

Middleweights will also be featured on the undercard, as Alessio Sakara (16-6-1) will face Chris Leben (17-4), while Yushin “Thunder” Okami (22-4) battles Evan Tanner (34-6).

Also, French heavyweight Cheick Kongo (11-3-1) will try to follow up on his win over Mirko Cro Cop when he faces Heath Herring (27-13-1).

In addition, Chris “The Professor” Wilson (12-3-1) will face Jon Fitch (20-2-1) in a welterweight fight.

In other news, CBS signed a deal to air prime-time MMA specials with the Elite XC promotion. Kimbo Slice beat Tank Abbott in the last Elite XC show on Showtime. This will be the first time MMA has aired on network television.
