I remember the impressive knockout over Chris Leben, right on the Brazilian’s debut in the octagon. Also see the sequence of dodges and blows that dispatched, and humiliated, the TUF 1 champion Forrest griffin. Don't forget, of course, the historic front kick against his compatriot Vitor belfort.
In the submissions category, there is a rear-naked choke over the veteran Dan Henderson, in the duel that marked the unification of the UFC and the extinct PRIDE titles. As expected, you will also review the triangle on Chael Sonnen, which guaranteed the Brazilian his biggest career victory, in one of the most impressive comebacks in the sport to date.
This Saturday (31), in Las Vegas (USA), Anderson faces Nick Diaz in the main fight of UFC 183. Throughout this week you can check the SUPER FIGHTS all the details and main highlights of the moments leading up to this great fight, as well as special coverage on the day of the event.
