Pride 13 Wiki
After earning worldwide renown for his Unanimous Decision victory over Dan Henderson at Pride 12, rising star Wanderlei Silva earned the biggest win of his career to date at Pride 13 when he stopped perennial Japanese headliner Kazushi Sakuraba with strikes at 1:38 of the first round in the main event. In other action, Dan Henderson knocked out Renzo Gracie while Vitor Belfort defeated Bobby Southworth.
This event marked the first time that knees to the head of a grounded opponent were deemed legal by the organization.
