In its final event of 2002, Pride FC featured a main event pitting American wrestler Dan Henderson against Pride Heavyweight Champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. Although Henderson was much smaller than Nogueira, he was considered to be a hard fight for anyone in any weight class. Nogueira proved his proficiency on the ground, however, by submitting the smaller Henderson with an Armbar in the third round of an extremely competitive fight.
