Dan Henderson is ready to try and become the first to hold belts in both the 185 pound division and the 205 pound division. Henderson will square off against Wanderlei Silva in Pride 33 in Las Vegas, Nevada on February 24th. Dan is excited to try for the 185 title in America.
“It’s an ideal situation for me,” he commented. “I was surprised they were going to let me do it for a title.” MMA WEEKLY
Both Henderson and Silva have showed great stamina in all their MMA fights. They both enjoy a good slug fest and have anything but a glass chin. This fight is good for American fans because most follow organizations based only in the U.S.
Many hardcore MMA fans agree that Pride has the better fighters. The rules are different than those in the UFC. Knees to a downed opponent are legal where as elbows are not. But the biggest difference from the UFC to Pride is the scoring. The UFC scores on aggression, take downs, and over all Octagon control. Pride judges more on a fighter trying to END a fight. The scoring differences make for a more high paced fight.
I'm looking forward to Pride 33. In fact, it will be the first one I've purchase on PPV in quit some time. Pride is making a push in the U.S. They see how well the UFC has done and they're looking to grab some attention from an American audience. They've made a wonderful card and I look forward to a wonderful night of fights come February 24th.

Just as long as Dan doesn't get stupid and go for Chuck or Shogun, he'll do fine. Getting kind of old though.
