The Ultimate Fighting Championship 82 is locked and loaded for March 1st at the Nationwide arena in Columbus Ohio. The card is stuffed through the teeth, with some of the most talented explosive fighters in the sport today. So loaded that notable standout’s Josh Koscheck, Diego Sanchez and Andrei Arlovski are not on the main card.

The event is headlined by current UFC champion Anderson “The Spider” Silva taking on PRIDE FC champion Dan “Hollywood” Henderson. This has been a dream match up that has finally materialized due to the demise of PRIDE. Tonight’s fight will not only put the controversy to rest but also unifies the UFC and PRIDE belts, naming the winner the best middle weight fighter in the world.
