Henderson ready to kick Silva's ass

4 months ago

PRIDE welterweight champion Dan Henderson sounds pretty pumped for his upcoming fight against UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva considering that just a few months ago he had no desire to compete in the UFC's 185 lbs. division:

 "I'm excited. I'm ready to go kick his ass. Style-wise, I'm just a bad fight for him. He's very tough, very talented, but he hasn't fought anybody like me. My strength is the clinch game, and I don't get out of position there to allow strikes. That's what he thrives on - guys that are out of position and not very good in that clinch. For me, that's where I'm going to beat him up, and if he gets there with me, I'm going to be taking him down and beating him up on the ground."

The quote appears in Steve Sievert's latest Brawl Sports blog entry on the Houston Chronicle website.
