Background[edit]


The main event was a UFC & Pride FC middleweight title unification match between UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva and PRIDE FC welterweight champion Dan Henderson.


A welterweight matchup between Jon Fitch and Akihiro Gono was originally scheduled, but Gono was forced to withdraw after suffering a hand injury in training.[3] Gono was replaced by Chris Wilson.[4] The Fitch/Gono match up was eventually rescheduled for UFC 94.


At the event, former UFC heavyweight champion Mark Coleman was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame.[5]
