“Cote is going to get murdered. Anderson Silva is really, really good and Cote is basically a Leben fight for Anderson.”
Former UFC top middleweight contender Travis Lutter shares his thoughts on the UFC 90: “Silva vs. Cote” main event at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill., on October 25. Lutter has competed against both Silva and Cote. In fact, he made short work of the Canadian at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 4 Finale with a fight-ending armbar, which earned him an opportunity to challenge the “Spider” for his 185-pound belt that he eventually went on to lose. “The Serial Killer” also shot down an earlier Sherdog.com report that he would return to the Octagon at UFC 91 against Joe Doerksen. That match up will not happen.

More important then Lutter’s idiotic (but truthful) comments. Lutter said that he has not re-signed with the UFC. His goal is to get back to the UFC, but he probably needs a few wins in smaller shows before being invited back. This contradicts reports that Lutter would fight at UFC 91. Lutter said that he will NOT take part in the card or any UFC cards in the forceable future (not by his choice of course).
I posted this early yesterday, thought the ore interesting part was lutter going to do smaller shows. what a fall from grace. he is a good fighter that needs to really work on his cardio.
you know, I usually don’t get upset, but I’m here everyday, see “props to” everyday. I realize the stuff I send mania will sooner or later be found by mania, it’s just frustrating when i post something, and mania puts it up more than 24 hours later. This happened 5 or 6 times last week too! At least john and you other guys who search for obscure stories get your links posted etc. I just sit back and watch. I’m not hating, this is my favorite site, just venting a little frustration!
brining my boy to school and going to play cards guys, have a good day!
Do it for the love of the sport, my friend, not for the personal glory.
Lutter iritates me. He’s a solid fighter, but there is no excuse missing weight and coming into a fight out of shape when you are a professional fighter and train full time. It’s unforgivable when you miss weight for a title fight.
now that tool said that i bet silva gets beat lol
who is he to say that. i cant even believe ludder ever got a shot at silva in the first place. the only significant fight he ever one was against eastman with a 1 punch k.o. which wouldnt ever happen again if they fought. i’d say that cote has a better shot at winning than most the people who silvas faced so far. i think cote’s a little under-rated in my opinion. i mean, id much rather see silva win than cote but i wouldnt count him out just yet!
idk, man. Cote is a hard puncher with a good chin who isn’t very technical. That’s basically… well, leben.
yeah hes leben but leben had that one thing that drove him harder then anyone else and that was his stupidity cote is to smart to let himself get hit that much
silva by murder before the fight even starts
r.m.: When Leben fought Silva, no one really knew anything about him, as it was silva’s first UFC fight. If they fought again, well the outcome would be the same, but Leben would last a little longer.
Silva had fought in Cage Rage so Leben and his camp could have and should have done a bit of homework. Would still have got KO’d though.
There was an interview with Leben (I think Mania posted it up a few weeks ago) and he said he knew about all about Anderson, and he did do his homework. Still got KO’d in 49 seconds. Although, he said he went into the fight looking to just end it with one punch in the first round, which, he thinks, was his mistake.
interesting, thanks, I never knew that!
I absolutely knew who Anderson was when he was entering the UFC. I had always watched him in pride and Cage rage, and I knew exactly what was going to happen to Leben. I remember how freaking excited I was when I found out he was fighting Leben and If I knew who he was, Leben and his camp had to know!
I saw him in Pride, but never in Cage Rage. He was damn good in Pride, but not the killer he is today.
*caughs* chonan!! lol.
A lot of people knew who Anderson Silva was before he was picked up by the ufc. It was HUGE when he was signed, and people were already talking about a fight with Franklin before the Leben fight even happened.
Hell, I remember watching an old ufc, and it showed the WW rankings, which had Anderson Silva in the top 3 (right after he beat Mach Sakurai I think).
Most experts picked him to pick apart Leben. It’s how badly he did it that was honestly a surprise.
He beat Cote.
Silva is going to get beat. Some say when he does it will be a Ju-jitsu guy, but say it will be a hungry young guy with heavy hands……Cote perhaps. Call me crazy now, but call me right after the fight
I will call you crazy now and after the fight, but only because you picked Cote to beat him. I agree that he will be beaten, and that it could also be by a striker, and not just a bjj guy. It may be a while from now though.
i agree!! i dont think it’ll be a jitzu guy. silvas ground game is top notch. hes no slouch. i think cote’s got a good chance! im pretty excited. i think this might be a great, great fight. im actually hoping its just a stand up war until someone gets rocked!
theres gonna be a lot of hating about this comment and rightly so.lutter is a great talent but simply cant be bothered to train and eat right and its his own fault for the way his career has gone.but you cant deflect the fact that this guy was the closest by far of having a chance of beating silva and stood well with franklin till his already empty tank ran out.but it really irks me silva saying that franklin was his toughest opponent when he only got one takedown in two fights.as for this fight cote ko 1st round.
im joking silva 1st round ANNIHALATION
I think that this was the first intelligent statement from Lutter in a while…
If lutter would join a good camp and get in shape he would be a damn good middlewight who might just stand a chance at beating silva, he came the closest and shouldn’t gone for that lazy arm bar, who knows, if he came in with good cardio against franklin he might have won that fight. I was never really a fan of lutter, the main reason being that he didn’t really bother to get into shape for most fights, anyone who can’t get motivated to train and get in shape for a title fight shouldn’t really be fighting
Lutter could be a great fighter and challenge for the title if he just lived and trained year-round in the Ultimate Fighter house
your right. he definatly came the closest to beating silva, but…you know just as much as i do… just because its close to being over doesnt mean its over! for all we know, silva could have planned on finishing on the ground. if theres one thing i do know its that i frigan hate lutter. that chump is all done in the ufc. i wont miss him!
Look I hate Lutter too. But how do you figure Anderson was going to finish on the ground with Lutter in mount?
Cote is going to handle anderson quite easily
yeak, and I am going to submit Fedor! GET REAL!
Hi Patrick, how’s the training going? lmfao!
At least Cote will make weight for the biggest opportunity in his career.
i know right. ludder or lutter…whatever his name is(who really cares about the schmuck)is a chump. he doesnt even deserve another shot to fight in the ufc. would anyone miss him???? i know i wouldnt!
Lutter is a disgrace. He blew the biggest chance is will ever get as a fighter. He’s got balls to critique anyone on anything. Fuck him.
he* will ever get
Olaf Alfanzo could beat Silva
Fuck that bird beaked bastard Olaf Alfonso.
Haha
Yushin-sama would own Lutter,seef lutter prob wouldnt even make weght,also yushinsama would ragdoll cote aswell,and last time when yushinsama fought anderson ,anderson used illegal moves (how dirty)LOL,yushinsama 1 -anderson- 0.
Yushin-SAMA should not refer to him/herself in the wrong person, that is for people like chefdaddy, b/c chefdaddy is the coolest.
CB Dollaway thinks CB Dollaway should be the only person who can refer to himself in the third person. With a name like Clarence its now wonder he uses CB.
Cote will get beat like Leban…FULL STOP…Silva is gona retire like Mayweather UNDEFEATED IN THE UFC!!!!!
Except that Mayweather is a scared little bitch. Silva is all man.
You are so right. I know this is now off topic from the original post but, I cant stand mayweather. He is such a bitch. If I saw him on the street, I would seriously fight him. I know I could tangle him up and beat the tar from him. He really said that he could whoop Chucks ass in a street fight. He is such an idiot. Chuck outweighs him on the street by like 80 lbs.
Talk about scared.. that could be the most correct thing you ever said. He passed up like 20 million from DLH.. just because he knows he has a really good chance of losing. Now that is disgraceful. Pussy.
Except that Mayweather had better paydays and will retire rich as a mofo.. Silva has to fight as many times as he possibly can to get some paper!
but silva has the respect of every fighter and fight fan out there, probably always will. cant put a price on that
Truth.
That is sure what he is hoping. As long as Anderson keeps tearing everyone up, Lutter looks great for almost taking him out. Too bad about his fight not happening though.
kingz of hills get ur facts straight noob he has lost ,to Yushinsama,he isnt like mayweather asn he has losses to his name u twat LOL
He said ” undefeated in the UFC”. Silva hasn’t lost in the UFC.
And it’s in caps……..
Yushin-sama would own Lutter,seef lutter prob wouldnt even make weght,wat u talking about eazyeismydad and no ez-z isnt ur dad u imposter ur the WORST
I guess you put the word “id#ot” in your post it automatically gets moderated. Anyway my statement that is in purgatory said something to the fact of I wish being a complete id#ot would garner moderation on this site. It sucks when normal people get on here to discuss mma and some jerk comes in and talks smack.
Um.. Patrick Cote as a lot better boxing than Chris Leben. Cote does not go out there and swing like a man on crack cocaine. I think Cote could pull this shocker off. I mean we really have not had that huge underdog really pull something out this year like a Gonzaga, Serra, Jardine type of upset. Cote could do it.
PLEASE…
He could it NC-17.. but he won’t. Travis is right.. and will pretty know the out come of this one. Metphrocically speaking.. Cote will be put in a body bag at UFC91.
I think rashad Liddel was a shocker, and rampage Forrest, and Sylvia Fedor…. Okay just joking on that last one.
NC-17… did you use that from Antitrust? Either way, I like it.
I bet Cote makes weight.
I say Cote shocks the world. Now let me explain: I do NOT believe Cote will beat Silva, I never said so… By saying he will shock the world, I believe he will last longer than any other UFC fight out there. Possibly even to a unanimous decision. Although I think Silva wins via sub 3-4th round. Cote has got a strong chin, and will NOT get rocked or KTFO. If Cote does his homework right, he should watch the Chonan fight. No kids not for the heal hook at the end, but for the entire fight before. It truly was a great fight, even though I still had Anderson having a slight advantage on the scorecard. If you disagree and say Chonan was getting murdered… go watch the fight again, I just say it 20 minutes ago… Well that’s just my two cents…
Oh and by the way, Lutter’s an idiot, and go make weight next time…
I agree on the Chonan/Silva fight. Chonan was doing quite well with those leg kicks.
I agree, I think Chonan was starting to pull ahead in the 3rd round, he has the leg kicks working excellent and was using the jab effectively.
I can’t see cote winning either but I also couldn’t see serra tkoing gsp in the first round. I would laugh if cote did win, it would just prove again no one is invincible. Cote does remind me of leben but better, but I still will be shocked if he wins.
Atleast Lutter did better against A Silva than Rich Franklin did, and Lutter can’t even fight for more than 4 minutes without getting tired.
Cote will have a better chance than Leben, just because Leben did not know anything about Silva when they fought.
I doubt the outcome will be much different.
I think Cote will do well in the first and then get chin checked in the 2nd.
It is funny cause I think Cote would murder Lutter. But yes, it is obvious that Cote is going to have his hands full with Silva.
lutter already beat cote.
Damn, I forgot about that. I do think Cote has improved quite a bit since then though. Lutter not so much. It would definitely be a different fight.
Travis…..Travis who???…….LOL
Its true! The only guy to test Silva is BISPING! he has never been submitted or ko’d so imagine him against Silva in the UK? the chance to be the worlds best fighter! Bisping would come at him like a psycho! I would of said Henderson and Marquart as they look good but he has beaten them both. Cote couldn beat Bisping so Silva will ko him in round 1! maybe round 2 if Silva takes his time.
Hmmm… I dont see Bisping coming at anyone like a psycho…
Bisping has been hand fed his oponents! please!!! Bisping loses, and loses BADLY, to the following: Silva, Hendo, Franklin, Nate the Great, Cote, Palhares, …. …. … I could go on with at least 3 more…
1.Bisping wont beat Silva.
2.Bisping wont come at anyone like a psycho.
3.He will never be the worlds greatest fighter.
4.You need professional help with your Bisping obsession.
i agree. i dont see the big deal with bisping. hes got no power. whos the last person he ko’d? i mean hes got heart and he never quits but i still dont see the big deal. maybe in a few years he’ll develop more but for now… i just dont see the big fuss. i think lebens gonna knock him out. who knows???
t
Tony, when did you lose your cherry to Bisping?
bisping couldn’t even outstrike matt hammill, Ican’t see him beating nate, hendo, or any of the other top mw’s. hendo is the only one i see right now with a shot. He always does better 2nd time around. and i thought he was winning the first fight before eating that big-ass knee-sammich. oh yeah, lutter is a lazy has been. if he worked his body as much as his mouth he might be the champ.
Wow! I wanted to follow the Bisping crap up with something but that pretty much covers it. Well said Darth_Fedor and UKmmaBoy
Thanks buddy… and to say I’m just a lurker over here
Ask Evans who gave him the tougher fight! Over protected average Bisping in his wrong weight class or MMA legend and hall of famer Chuck Lidell?
i actually think it could be that bad. cotes strong point is striking, and it cant be comparable to andersons
I think Lutter it right. Cote just goes into fights throwing big punches. Thats exactly what Silva is best at working against. Cote will get knocked out cold in this fight.
Rumor:
UFC 93: Henderson vs. Franklin
DREAM: Mousasi vs. Akiyama
It might be Hendo-Franklin if Bisping loses, otherwise it’s looking like Bis vs. Hendo for TUF.
Hendo-Franklin is just a dream fight isnt it.
I would not count out Cote he is a dangerous fighter, with a good chin and power. Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying Cote is gonna win hands down, but he has a chance. If you look at it this fight has all the makings for a huge upset.
Anyone can knock anyone out on any given day. Past fights do not mean anything because every oppenent is different. Silva is sick at muy tai and jui jitsu, but that does not make him some god when it comes to taking a punch. If cote lands a hard shot to the jaw, silva will go down. Anyone will go down or get rocked. Look at st pierre vs serra. Look at griffen vs jardine look at liddell vs evans. It all depends on the situation. Also, lutter is sick on the ground and came close by mounting silva. He had frankling screwed as well but his cardio sucks. He just doesnt care enough. I think Silva will be tested quite hard by cote. You will see.
cote might graze silva and at that point silva goes to the ground and subs him. Cote, as much as i like him, just cant handle subs
Things CHANGE, he just handled one of the BEST’S subs, Almeida.
Silva’s speed and movement is awesome.. He will have a good height advantage and i think we will see some nasty knees inside the clinch until Cote goes down for good!
I love anderson Silva but I hate Travis Lutter more, Cote round 1.
The real problem fighters are having with silva is he doesnt really have a weakness, or atleast none to date have really been found!
i think for silva to be beaten it would have to be a unique style of fighting, not your average boxer defence/jab-jab fighter as silva’s movement and angles are suited to such fights. I truly believe the likes of liddell would have a greater chance not just because of ko power but also because of the wierd angles he creates for his punches/strikes, the only problem there would be chuck leaving himself open to silva’s punches/strikes and we all know he has ko power. Also chuck would be able to mix it up with his wrestling in that fight and use his size advantage!!
I just dont see a fighter like cote defeating silva, all be it he may last longer due to having a good chin, and of course he has a punchers chance!
Which is it? Silva sees something in Cote that most of you guys don’t, or your boy Silva likes to have EASY fights that don’t CHALLENGE him. Silva said, he really wanted this fight with Cote and he was routing for him against Almeida. He said , Cote is a hard hitter who can take a shot and he would give him a good fight.
thanks for the insider info lutter. gee i never thought silva would maul cote, whats next will the earth continue to rotate, will politicians continue to lie, sorry mr. lutter sounds like your the last to have this revelation. i predict silva by savage ass whoopin in round uno.
Tell us something we dont know fatty.
Photoshop…. you fail at it.
shut up Lutter you one-dimensional prick! At least Cote CAN MAKE WEIGHT! And even though he’ll get his ass beat….at least he’ll get his ass beat for a title…more than you can ever say.
Well, say what you want about Lutter,
BUT that COTE-SILVA fight was the WORST UFC fight I’d ever seen!!! It was like watching the Harlem Globetrotters play basketball….
Granted, I’ve only been watching UFC about 2 years now though… still…
The Cote/ Silva fight was just a bad idea. Silva just let him pass to the 3rd round out of pity.
