anderson silva
Anderson Silva (22-4) will put his 185-pound title on the line against Patrick Cote (13-4) at UFC 90 at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Ill., on October 25, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

It was the match up we all expected because of the recent hand injury to Yushin Okami — considered the top contender until the mishap. Now we just have a date for the showdown.

And “The Predator” is nothing short of confident.

Here’s a snip from the Canadian:

‘‘I’m telling all my friends to bet on me because they’re going to make a lot of money…. This guy will need 10 punches to my face to knock me out, and I’ll just need one. I have a good chance. He won’t exchange with me, and I’m not scared of him.”

That’s the type of confidence that he will certainly need to bring to the table against the Brazilian sensation. Whether or not it translates into success inside the Octagon is an entirely different animal.

Silva is on an absolute tear … and a devastating one at that. He is on an eight-fight win streak, seven of which have come under the UFC banner. And none of those fights just mentioned have gone past the second round.

To keep himself busy and the fans entertained, Silva recently moved up to light heavyweight and dispatched of James Irvin in round one of their non-title 205-pound bout at UFC Fight Night 14.

It’s not a stretch to refer to him as the top mixed martial artist on the planet. And that doesn’t appear to phase Cote … yet.

He has rebounded from losing his first four contests inside the Octagon to notch five straight impressive wins. Cote, in fact, has stopped three of his last four opponents via technical knockout.

By the sounds of it, he sounds intent to keep this fight upright, which is often not the best strategy when it comes to defeating Silva. However, Cote has only lost via submission or decision …. so anything is possible.

We’ll find out in Chicago on October 25 on pay-per-view (PPV).

Cote’s Prayer:

O god of MMA, protect me from this latest adversary of mine that you’ve destined me to face. Thy will is my command[actually, it's Dana's will, hehe!!]. Keep me safe from any affliction[pun intended] due to elbows and flying knees. Also keep me free from gashes and cuts that my test will be inflicting on me. Lead me not onto temptation[to stand and bang, 'coz it's suicide], and deliver me from a loss……..This I ask thru Fedor, our king.

Amen…

Cote is done. He’s saying the same thing James Irvin said about Silva’s power. Silva one-punch KO’d Irvin and he won’t even need to go to the ground to KO Cote.

Comment by Chadx23
2008-07-27 10:36:47

yea and if you go back and look, that punch he KO’d Irvin with was like half thrown…imagine if he cocked back and landed one with full power…

I see Cote in the same talent and style bracket as Leben….and we all know how that finished.

Comment by Gord
2008-07-29 23:43:09

Not even close, Leben was just a brawler when he fought Silva and he rushed in swinging wildly like an idiot. Cote is a smart Fighter and I think his win over Almeida proved that. Leben would have got submitted in the first minute if he fought Almeida.

after seeing him wreck the sandman, and every other stand up fighter he’s fought, i have to agree with you. I’d shit my pants tho if cote just came right out and swung for the fences and knocked him out…there’s about a 5% chance of that actually happening tho :s.

Comment by linx
2008-07-27 06:40:43

I think his chances are more like .001% of winning in the feet. Let’s not forget how bad he was losing in stand up to Almeida before he gassed, Almeida of all ppl, a one dimensional fighter that’s pure class BJJ. Silva is a different animal in the stand up department, and the funny thing is that everybody that fights him want to fight him standing up… ppl just don’t seem to learn. RIP Cote…

Cote was so worried about being taken down that it affected his standup. I dont think hes gonna worry about Silva taking him down. He just gonna go in there expecting to bang so I think he will be fine. Well until he more then likely gets KO/TKO.

 
Comment by Gord
2008-07-29 23:55:14

Lets not forget that a striker is NOWHERE near as good when he is wary of being taken down. Was Sylvia’s striking better against AA or Randy? Almeida trys to take Everyone down and Silva trys to take NOBODY down ,BIG difference.

It is not the worst match up ever,

there is no way I’d put money on him VS A/S.

That might just be the ballsiest thing i have ever heard! but good luck to him and i hope he still looks the same after the fight.

yes. mayweather will come back . they always do. this is his 1rst official retirement, so i dont put much into it. sugar ray leonard retired and came back like 7 different times. he didnt need the money, he missed the spotlight and so will floyd. the man loves attention and being in the spotlight. its the same reason oscar keeps fighting, he has hundreds of millions, but loves the fame. i cant see margarito beating floyd, but i also didnt think he would beat cotto, so who knows. wouldnt mind seeing paquio vs mayweather either, maybee at 140.

I think Cote has a chance he has never been knocked out in his career he has an excellent chin if Silva beats him I think it is by submission or decision call me crazy but Cote can take a punch he’s been in there with a few hard hitters and he never ever got dazed from a punch that I have noticed. Just my opinion it’s gonna be a very very very hard fight for Cote but I wouldn’t write him off so quickly sooner or later someone will not be scared of Silva and if anyone is not gonna be scared of him it’s Cote did anyone see Irvin when he was walking to the cage he was beat in his own mind before he even stepped foot in the cage I think if Cote is there mentally he has a chance a beating Silva a slim one but like I said before I wouldn’t right him off.

Comment by THORAZINE
2008-07-27 02:54:21

Cote has a chance they all have a chance. It’s not that these fighters are scared of Silva, they just can’t beat him… he’s in another league. Someone will get that once in a lifetime ‘Matt Serra’ punch or ‘Cole Miller’ Triangle. Silva will have to break his hand with a punch or disloctate his knee… that’s how he’ll get beat not because someone takes the fight to him and pounds Silva for 5 rounds.

Comment by Chadx23

Silva reminds me of Liddell(when he was champ) in that it seems like everyone is afraid of him and what he can do to you…well I know when I saw Rampage come out to the Octagon to face Chuck for the title that he was gonna win. It was all over his face and it seemed like Chuck looked nervous. Then agian, Rampage already beat Liddell before so maybe thats why…I dont know who will eventually beat Silva but I don’t think Cote will be the one to do it. Another thing is Cote doesnt realize that Anderson has a great chin, possibly better than his! He aint KOing SIlva with one hit.

Comment by Spider Rulz
2008-07-28 09:34:38

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t everyone say Leben had an “iron jaw” before he fought Silva? And I believe Leben had never been knocked out before the Spider came along also, am I right? From what I’ve seen from watching Silva fight someone that actually has a good jaw is, they end up taking more punishment from Silva before they go down, thats all. So I hope Cote does have a great jaw, so the Spider can beat on him a good bit before turning his lights out.

 
Comment by Gord
2008-07-30 00:40:58

I don’t think you’re crazy. I think all the people that think Cote will get KOed in a few seconds are crazy. Style and granite chin wise, I think he has a better chance than anyone else that has faced Silva and he definitely has a better chance because they already blew theirs.

2008-07-27 00:36:35

This fight is a complete waste of time. Cote is not ready for Silva, nor will he ever be. Fights like this are the downside of having a dominant champion who has already cleared out his division. I mean, they HAVE to find someone to fight him.

Comment by TheNegation
2008-07-27 00:41:51

Correct! As well as the projected Okami-Silva match-up, it’s just another waste of time! Anderson should might as well be wreaking havoc in the LHW div and should just step down in weight occasionaly if somebody from the lower weight classes[like GSP] decides to do battle with him.

 
Comment by TheNegation
2008-07-27 01:21:23

Agreed! just like the Okami-Silva match-up. Total waste of time! Anderson should just wreak havoc in the 205 div. Then once in a while, he could step down to 185 just to be in some superfight[ex, vs GSP]. But IMO, Anderson should stay at 205 till someone worthy comes along to face him at 185.

That’s exactly why I think GSP should move up and get a shot. Not because he deserves to push the rest aside, but because they need a well rounded opponent with the qualities needed to present a challenge. My only reservation would be GSP should have some tune-up fights at that weight.

This is complete bullSh**, SILVA should not be wasting anymore of his time, energy, fighting weak, sub-size, sub-weight, sub-quality cans at 185. SILVA Should take over 205 division by taking out FOREST then defend 205 title against whoever be it LIDELL, RAMPAGE, WANDERLEI, SHOGUN and then until no one is left. Retire from the UFC, challenge FEDOR if hes still the best HEAVY WEIGHT in the world. thought? Who e hell is COTE ?

Comment by Mrs.Featherbottom
2008-07-27 02:06:16

Ummm…no. I agree with Anderson’s transition to 205 but leave Fedor out of this. Anderson has about as much chance of beating Fedor as Zuluzhino did.

Anderson is freakin awesome, but come on! Fedor!? Riiiiight. Fedor would waste Anderson Silva, hes just as fast if not faster than Anderaon, has way more power, and WAY better ground. He beat the guy who gave Anderson his BJJ black belt twice! Fedor would dismantle Anderson.

Cote is gony suffer the most horific ko hes ever gony experience! he should be practising the take downs from now until the fight and try and lie on his sparring partners for 25mins, cos that is the only chance he has!! Other than that dont turn up or get injured either way its silvas hand getting raised!!

I see Anderson winning this. But I will never give ANY fighter a 100% chance of winning. Cote has knockout power and he certainly has a punchers chance. Don’t count him out just because his last fight was boring. He rocked Tito Ortiz and went this distance with him. Confidence could lead to him going for that knockout punch. Don’t count him out. Oh btw, If Silva wins this fight, he ties the record with Jon Fitch and Royce Gracie for the most wins in a row in the UFC.

Comment by TheNegation
2008-07-27 01:26:58

Correct! Never count someone out in the world of MMA. But then again, this is Anderson Silva we’re talkin’ about. He just destroys everything in his path. He should just be called “The Destroyer” instead of Spider. But bein’ the Destroyer would just overrate him I guess for some critics, so let’s just stick w/ what we’ve got.Hehe!!

2008-07-27 01:37:42

silva would have to slip or get caught in the back of the head, like gsp/serra. 1 in a million. i like cote though. (i think everyone does) as a fighter. after the irvin fight i said that silva should stay at 205 cuz there’s no competition for him at 185, and alot of people said “well cote deserves his chance”. maybee so, but after this announcement, is anyone excited for this fight? if silva stayed at 205 the mw’s would automatically become stacked. oh well.

I’m excited about it. I am glad that he is fighting in both divisions because we get to see him fight more often. I just hope that all of the extra fighting doesn’t take a toll on Silva. I’m not worried about the fights, just the frequent training.

 
Comment by b.w.
2008-07-27 12:24:07

going up and down in weight alot, might end up being his downfall. it killed roy jones,and i know thats boxing,but when your cutting into muscle weight too much it hurts your reflexes. maybee one more time at 185 then back up to 205 for good. or stay at 185 and wait until b.j. penn or gsp comes calling.

Screw you Dana White. This fight should be on the UFC 88 card. Liddell/Evans isn’t a a main event worth paying for and Silva/Cote isn’t either. Greedy sack of crap. As an aside, what the hell is Cote talking about? He can eat 10 punches from Silva? What’s his head made of, titanium? I’m Canadian but I’m gonna laugh my ass off when Cote wakes up in the middle of the Octagon all glazed over in Round 1. Oh, and props to Margerito.

oh my freaking goodness! no way did cote say that silva would not exchange with him. and silva wont need 10 punches to take him out. try 3 punches to the face, a kick to the head, a clinch, a left knee, a right knee, down goes cote, anderson follows up with as many extra extra punches as he can let rip before the ref pulls him off while cote curls up in the fetal position praying for it to end just like the sandman was. DUDE!!! someone better remind patrick cote that he is…….well, patrick cote. you dont antagonize anderson silva he dont need no extra motivation. your already going to take the most humiliating ass whoopin of your career right there for all the world to see, and you will go down in spectacular highlight reel fashion, just like everybody else. dont make it worse on yourself. be respectful and maybe after hes had his way with you he will say nice things about you to joe rogan via interpreter, but if you piss him off and make it personal (which your off to a good start of doing) he may say dismissive things about you like for example “your are a bitch” or “you were a waste of his time and energy” come on man!!!!!

 
Comment by fightfan
2008-07-27 02:52:32

Poor Cote. But every fighter that is a -700 or -800 underdog says the same thing….That they will upset, blah , blah blah

I think Cote is going to look like Leben bouncing around the ring. It is good to be confident going into a fight you are most likely to get KTFO in, but then again it can also get you hurt, badly.

Especially if Cote thinks he will be able to take 10 shots from Silva, then deliver ONE KO punch??????? I guess everyone can dream. But seriously, that kind of thinking could seriously get you fucked up.

The last time I heard someone say they’ll take a flurry of Silvas punches in order to land one they ended up wondering where they were and why they has a crescent moon shaped cut in their face.

Anyway, this should be fun. Tis a shame Okami broke his hand though.

This fight should be on the UFC 88 card. I’m not shelling out 40 bucks to see a Liddell/Evans main event and the same goes for this one. They should have stacked the Atlanta card and made the UFC 90 main event Penn vs Florian/Huerta. Dana is getting greedy and needs to deliver better fight cards.

Comment by MoonUK
2008-07-27 04:21:50

Are you kidding? At 88 they’ve got Chuck, Evans, Ace,
Hendo, Palhares, Karo, Yoshida, Carneiro, Stun Gun Kim and Chonan all fighting.

Now i’ve just named 10 world class top fighters, 88 will be great. I agree that they don’t have a stand out main event but the event as a whole will be top notch.

First thought is what a waste of time, but I’m very happy that Cote thinks he can take 10 shots from “the spider”. I want to see another beating like Rich Franklin, pin-point striking, it’s beautiful to watch. Cote please stay on you feet for at least 3 minutes so we can see Silva dismantle you, the one punch Silva landed on Irvin wasn’t enough. Cote we’re counting on you.

It’s pretty funny to see cote still saying he has one punch knockout power. He doesn’t stand a chance and doesn’t even deserve a title shot. Let anderson have a little fun in lhw until okami heals up.

COTE haha this guy is dreaming he needs 10 punches to knock me out okay how about a few knees or kick to the mellon better or no all that is gona happen cote gona waste his time training an then end up in the hospital gettin his jaw wired
after 10 seconds into the fight Mike Goldberg saying “Are you kidding me?” cote face just exploded

I’m putting my money on Cote…I belive he is going to win.
what are you guys going to say if Cote Wins? oh it was a fluke or some shit like that..or demand that there be a rematch right away? …
I hope cote knocks anderson out. or submit him…. You guys seem to forget …Anderson has lost before…he got beat by a CAN who is 7-12. no one gave that guy in pride a chance but he took it to anderson and he won, and he also lost to Ryo Chonan…

FYI to Cote, Anderson Silva will exchange with anyone!!! Has he not watched a UFC fight that Silva has been in. He has a highlight reel of knockouts and I expect Cote to be in that reel after October.

That’s sad that the best they can come up with for a title shot is Cote. If Silva wants any sort of a challenge the only place its going to come from is 205.

Comment by bigmcmac
2008-07-27 11:01:27

Yeah but don’t forget eveyone said Almedia is the next in line for a title shot and Cote beat him, so I my mind he deserves a shot and I believe he has a good as chance to win as anyone else in the 185 division. Don’t forget Cote has a good chin and he has great heart and endurance.

Comment by Rob Enderle
2008-07-27 12:41:21

Ok, so which is the suckiest division in the UFC, this one or the HW?

Silva is a great champion but any division where a truly mediocre reality TV jackoff with limited skills is your #1 contender can not be considered seriously.

Silva is gonna be of not interest until he start cleaning out the LHW and heck, he could easily beat that big reality TV doofus who holds the belt now.

Comment by Jeremyjackson
2008-07-27 16:58:30

The HW division is worse beacause at least the 185 division can lay claim to the best middleweight in the world. The best Heavyweight (Fedor) isn’t even in the UFC and neither are most of the other top HWs.

 
Comment by Gord
2008-07-30 01:33:24

So, you think the MW div. sucks, yet you think Silva is a great champ for winning against sucky guys. You can’t have it both ways. You probably said the same thing about Forrest and look who’s CHAMP NOW. Cote is becoming a well rounded fighter. Jackoffs with limited skills don’t have 50% T(KO)victories and they get submitted against ground guys like Almeida.

 
 
Comment by SCOTT
2008-07-27 12:42:49

cote doesnt have a chance unless he catches silva with a haymaker.cant see it happening though.i think the blueprint to beat silva is a prime tito ortiz type fighter with good takedowns and awesome gnp.if you r lucky enough not to get caught in a submission and can stay active enough to keep the fight on the ground then its a decision win.but i just cant see anyone in the mw decision in that mould.

Damn, I hope Cote knocks the Spider out cold, I like the Spider as much as I like Fedor, and that would be zero. I’m always for the underdog to bring someone back to reality. No one is unbeatable. So all of you hate on Cote all you want.

Good chin won’t help Cote. Leben has the best chin in this division and we all know what happened. Good chins are good to eat a punch or two but Silva will punch, kick and knee it all night long so it won’t help Cote.

Comment by Gord
2008-07-30 01:45:10

How is Leben’s chin better than Cote’s? Leben has been rocked PLENTY and he has been KOed. Neither has happened to Cote. No one has shown a better chin than Cote.

One thing ppl don’t get right.They always mention his fight against Almeida.”he looked terrible,He’ll get destroyed by Silva”..bluh bluh bluh…You know what?Almeida was afraid to trade punches.He always shoot for TDs.Cote therefor changed his style in order to dominate the fight.Buttttttttttttttttttttt,,,,,
Cote will be 100% different against Silva.Believe me ! Both stand-up guys,
Cote via combo punches !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is right to say that Silva is the best Po. for Pound on the planet!I saw couple of fight of Silva and he is definetely thoug enough..But how enough?

Patrick Cote has fight on ice with hockey skates since he’s born!He has an undestructible chin!I’ll bet on Cote!

 
Comment by Cristiano from Brazil
2008-07-28 12:07:11

No chin is undestructible bro. If the referee for the fight happens to be Steve Mazzagatti than Cote may rip Silva’s eyes out and win by TKO, than he can go on to say it was accidental. It worked for Kevin Burns. That’s about the only chance he has.

I like Cote’s attitude, but it’s going to be an ugly night for him. If I had to pick who I would think had a better chance between the Sandman and the Predator, I would have went with the Sandman.

Hopefully he keeps positive and puts on a good show.

amderson is going to get his ass kicked, cote’s skills are too much for anderson to handle and anderson is so skinny, he has no chance for cote’s build and muscle.

 
Comment by BJS
2008-07-29 14:25:25

Not a good matchup. Cote is nowhere near the same skill level as Anderson Silva. Its time for silva to move to 205 before someone in the 185 division get hurt.

2008-07-30 15:53:39

For all of you who says côté will get squashed.. although he might lose..i don’t think he’ll get squashed. Silva is real good but not invincible. I’ve made 900$ with côté in is last 2 fights …and in the next 1..i’ll put at least 100$ on him.

2008-07-31 13:36:08

well cote is no match for silva .but here are some middleweights that are and should be spiders next fights

martin kampman
great fighter, is 13-1 and 1 loss came from a cut on a fight he was winning.he is know for his knockout power yet has 8 submission victories.and only 1 of his 13 wins came from a decision which was uniammous.he is deadly in everything

nate loughran
he is undefeated and just beat another undefeated guy to stay undefeated.

amir sadollah
everybody knows this man can take a beating he is very hard to knock out yet he can strike good and he is very hard to submit yet he is elite at submitting.

those 3 guys should be anderson silvas next title defences.and if he beats all of them which i highly doubt he would because these guys are great
just throw him in the cage with brock lesnar anderson would get killed by brock, and then after brocks fineshed beating him give him his 2nd strait loss by makeing him fight fedor emilenkle he would be killed by the great fedor.but ofcouse those guys are heavyweights and would kill silva so he will never fight either of them so just make him fight the 3 middleweights i posted.

Silva first round KO. Silva is way to smart of a fight to get KO’d or even submitted by Cote. Silva has acknowledge Cote’s striking/stand up ability and is taking him seriously (as said in his interview). Cote on the other hand is making outrageous comments saying it will take 10 punches from silva to knock him out… Apparently Cote didn’t watch the Silva/Irvin fight. Stop living in the dark cote and quit talking so much shit, f*ckin idiot

 
Comment by The J man
2008-08-07 08:38:27

I like Cote’s attitude, because the truth is no one is unbeatable, yeah i said it and so did Anderson Silva, he even humbly admits that no one (including himself is unbeatable!!) Its that attitude that makes Anderson so dangerous!! He doesn’t take any opponent lightly, meaning he prepares and trains efficiently for each fight. Tough to beat a guy like that, and even tougher to beat a champion who has a record of taken out other champions and former champions. But taking 10 punches to me sounds a bit ridiculous, scary if he actually plans to battle that way, cause as many street fights as I have been in, there’s no way I’ll strategize to take 10 to deliver one. A brawlers chance (and he has a brawlers chance granted 3-7%) fades quickly w/ a skilled stand up fighter. Maybe he’s bluffing, perhaps he plans to play possum w/ Silva and bait him in for the counter and land the right hand, that sounds like a better strategy than just taking 10 to deliver one.I truly believe that if he plans to take 10 then we will all witness that just like Anderson is not unbeatable, Cote’s chin is not unpenetrateable!!!!

cote has no plans of takeing 10 hits strait before he delivers 1 he just simply said he could incase it came to that but he defintly isent going to let 10 punches land him before he lands 1 he has other plans.

that being said i still dont think cote is the man to beat silva seing cote is horrible at anything other than standing up and thats why he almost lost to ricardo if silva is smart he will just submit cote instead of trying to knock him out to get the sure win.so cote is not the guy to do it

here are the guys in his weight class

so cote is not the guy who is
