Dan Henderson fully confident going into UFC 82

Dan Henderson says he's ready to 'kick ass' against UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva. Henderson will be by far Silva's toughest test yet and the challenger is more than confident to get in the clinching game with Silva. The champ, who is highly known as a muay tai specialist will certainly have his hands full with Henderson, who is coming off a loss to "Rampage" Jackson.
Silva burst on the scene by demolishing up and comer Chris Leben by knockout in the first round, then re-arranging Rich Franklin's nose in their first title fight. He's gone on to beat Travis Lutter and Nate Marquardt while Franklin's nose healed. Then defeated the ex champ once again with a second round TKO. He's riding a 5 fight win streak in the UFC and hes yet to be challenged in the thin middleweight division.
This should be a great fight given Silva's range and Henderson's superior wrestling ability. UFC 82 is looking to be a good one.
