Anderson admits Henderson will be a tough opponent

Brazilian champion Anderson Silva admits his upcoming fight against Dan Henderson will be a tough one.

UFC president Dana White confirmed after Silva’s win over Forrest Griffin at UFC 101 that Dan Henderson would be getting a second shot at the middleweight title.

“He’s a great challenge. If it happens again it will be an honour because he is a very good fighter and has been showing he deserves the title shot one more time,” Silva told Fighters Only Magazine.

“He’ll come over at me well-trained and I don’t want to be caught by surprise when I fight the best guys – and he is one of them, maybe the best of my division.”
