where the hell is all state arena located in chicago at??
ur moms house lol
ITS IN ROSEMONT, ILLINOIS… NEXT TO O’HARE AIRPORT
Great card, I want to see everyone of these fights =).
I agree!!!
COTE IS GONNA GET MURDERED IN THIS FIGHT. HE REALLY THINKS THAT HES GONNA KNOCK OUT SILVA !? PLEASE, I HAVE A BETTER CHANCE GETTING INTO A 3SOME W/ SCARLETT JOEHANSEN, LINDSAY LOHAN, AND KIM KARDASHAIN. GET REAL COTE.
that wud b a four way dude..
NO, he had it right– a threesome– he’ll be watching… from a peephole. ROTFL
But seriously, i totally agree w/ raf– Cote stands no chance.
lol that was a wonderful analogy there
I don’t think you get into the ring without thinking (or “knowing” in you own mind) you are going to win! Cote has the right attitude to face Silva, but Silva is the more “methodical” fighter in this match. If you watch his eyes when he fights he is using his peripheral vision to judge his opponent’s movements, he is eerily methodical and so precise. It is like he already knows what his opponent is going to do. I predict unless he is ill, or becomes overconfident (and stops being hungry), he will definitely stand the victor at the end of this bout! I see Silva taking the 205 belt in the future as well. He is the BJ Penn of the 185-205 class and then some! Pound for pound, on a good night no one can touch this guy! Prove me wrong?
Hi Where is the weigh ins for ufc 90 i want to go and watch them ……????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????//
Right down the street from my house…oh yeah…can’t wait!
Not actually in Chicago. It is located in Rosemont, IL. Very close to O’hare airport.
Dude its still in Chicago its like a borough
The windy city is going to get blown away!
Hallmark NEEDS you.
lol
i got it now,
I don’t see Cote holding his own against Silva. He’ll try to push the pace and get ko’ed, easy.
i heard cain velasquez is fighting antonio hardock and tyson griffin is fighting sean sherk on the card as well
Yes, I would love for SHerk to show that he is still the number 2 lightweight in the wolrd ! This card is looking very nice !
i think silva will end up submitting cote.
Cote? Not even close. The rest of the card looks ok though.
What’ll be on the televised part d’ye think?
Obviously the title bout which’ll last 2-3 mins tops with Silva destroyin him
If Fabricio’s right in sayin he’s gonna get a title shot for winning thats gotta be on the main card
Just hope the Sherk bout makes it, thats gonna be really good
ummm of course sherk and tyson fighsts is gonna be on the main card and ur forgettin deigo sanchez is fightin thaigo this card is lookin real good
lol sherks bout gonna be good, cant wait for lay n pray for 15 minutes
I hope Sherk gets KO’ed in the first!
keep hoping… he takes this fight easily, tyson had problems with frankie edgar who is not nearly as strong or powerful as sherk, sean sherk is an absolute lock in this fight. my other picks are leites and clementi
The only fights sherk hasn’t lay and prayed he’s lost
lay and pray? is that what you call elbows from the mount and side control? both florian and franca were destroyed by the end of those fights, quit whining and appreciate the talented wrestler that sherk is
lots of rumors about who else is being added to this card, i’ve even seen wanderlai silva come up on different sites, i hope this card is the sickest card in history, because i live in chicago and i’m definitely going
i want to see hughes vs. serra wtf i thought it was going to be ufc 90.
January/Febuary 4 that 1
Anderson Silva by murder…
I like yushin okami’s flying kneebar
too patrick cotes anything…
the kids good but…Silvas on another planet…
cant wait to see sean sherk, fabricio amd hermes.
and that diego vs thiago should be fight of the night!
man, this card is loaded with big name fighters! Silva vs. Cote, Sanchez vs. Alves, Sherk vs. Griffin, Franca vs. Tibau, Fisher vs. Guillard and Fabricio Werdum, Thales Leites also on the card! Very nice indeed.
Goran is fighting at 205! Why is he fighting leites then?
185lb
upset for Cote!!! guy hits like a brick and can take a punch. didnt get sub’d by almeida…..
you are smokin some serious bat shit kid. you got sriker vs striker. cote better not think about a ground fight, he cant theat would be suicide. i would be suprised if he gets outta the first round without getting ko’d.
I’m Canadian, and I’ve liked Cote for years. I just don’t give him much of a chance against Silva. He just hasn’t fought tough enough opponents. Not that Cotes not a good fighter, but the only reason he already has a title shot is because the MW division is thin. I think he get ko’d near the end of the first. But lets hope for a more competitive fight.
It’s always fun watching Silva fight, but Cote won’t have a chance. He is going to get destroyed within the first two minutes.
Silva v Cote reminds me of St Pierre v Serra I
gulllarud and fisher looks like a good fight melvins a purple in jits now
Thats great to hear… i hope melvin fucks fisher up.
HOPE ALL YOU WANT. YOU SOUND LIKE A TRUE GLUE VICTIM!YOU GOTTA BE HIGH EVEN THINKING THAT’S GONNA HAPPEN. SPENCER FISCHER WILL SPANK MELVIN’S PUSSY ASS!
Your trippin if you think Fisher will walk through Melvin. PS TURN YOUR CAPS LOCK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
anyone know the presale password for the tix today?
With Silva running out of challengers I think i should fight Anderson Silva because how great wud it be to watch my head fly off like a f*ckin champange cork!
uhhhhh
this card isnt that bad
great card can’t wait to go
5-1 underdog- might be worth the risk
sick card ill be watching for sure. ill be rooting for cote
but silva will F**K his shit up most likely
diego is going to get destroyed by alves
Agreed
Alves is gonna fuck his shit up. The 25th is gonna be one big Nightmare for the Dirty Sanchez
This card is fantastic. Diego is gonna upset Thiago. Even with all of those muscles (sure got a lot bigger recently..) Diego has better cardio and will beat him on the ground. I also say Griffin, Aurelio, Clementi will bring it and take it..oh yeah, and COTE!!!
Diago has improved his striking dramatically. I’m thinking that fight could go either way…i’m not too sure about the sherk fight…can he perform without all those juices running through his veins? haha…
i like tis card. yea silva is the headliner but we all know whats going down there. im waitin for alves and sanchez, that right there is the fight of the night. they are both killers, i cant wait, i really dont know who is gonna win??? im goin with sanchez, he had a bad fight with kos, its personnel now. that boy a killa, some bad happenin to alves.
oh and sherk and griffin? sherk 30-27 29-28 29-28
is melvin going to be out of jail in time?
solid solid card 2cd best of 08″next to 87
is alves and bigfoot silva done their cycles now??hope they know looking good in the dance club reflects in a piss test as well ,they maybe tough but ,are they ever fucking stupid,i doubt alves will make weight ,whatta moron ,he fails to make weight for the hughes fight then pulls the gsp prank and gets down and begs dana for a title shot ,,,,GROW UP FIRST AND PUT THE STEROIDS ,NEEDLE,AND PILLS DOWN AND START SHEDING WATER WEIGHT ,ITS EASY TO MAKE WEIGHT AND LOOK GOOD THRU HARD WORK ,,YOU GODDAMNED POSERS…..I HOPE SANCHEZ WINS I HATE CHEATERS
how the hell is maynard and clementi not on the main card…that is an amazing fight between two of the best in the class. take goran off and put them on
Alves will twist Diegos cap back FACT
No he wont… hes gonna get kept warm by Josh Koscheck untill the bell rings.
Well Jo Ko will have a torrid time against Alves
Shame as i was looking forward to the pitbull giving the nightmare a nightmare

Where is the weigh in ???????? and what time is it ?
i am leaving today from cali to go to chicago
man this should be a awesome card
i think Silva has a great favor in this fight because he will utalize the clinch and keep this fight standing up with cote near him at all times. Dont count cote out though he has some juice in his very heavy hands. remember what happened to rampage when everybody counted forest griffin out. i would not be suprised if cote comes away witha very unlikley KO. but it would have to be early in the fight. seeing that there is 5 rounds and Anderson has EXCELLENT cardio he will win by a clinck KO or i would even expect them to go the distance. Silva will Win. but it will be the fight of the month.
