On this day in 2006, fight fans got their first look of former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva who secured his first Octagon finish via first-round knockout over Chris Leben at Ultimate Fight Night 5. This win would kickstart Anderson's career and one of the most successful Octagon reigns fans would see in UFC history.
UFC middleweight Derek Brunson takes us through some of the highlights of his UFC career. From his debut against a legend of the sports in Chris Leben, to recently knocking out a rising star in the division, Brunson provides background on what was going through his mind during these moments.
