Diego Sancez vs. Alves has been confirmed for UFC 90 as well.

I also expect to see Sherk face either stevenson or Tyson Griffin and possibly the return of wanderlei

Ok, I guess Cote earned this title shot. But c-mon does he really have a chance???

Who has a chance?? He’s got to fight someone. If there’s a MW out there, Dana want’s to talk to you. And yes, he’ll take your call.

Will the trailer last longer than the fight?

Why the fuck make a story out of that non-trailer?

It’s just bad time to fight Anderson Silva.. he has state of the art Mauy Thai.. top level jits.. fundamentally sound wrestlting..a Fedorish type of Aura.. to add.. he is a class act.. none this lame brain talk like

" I’ll take 10 of his punches.. to give one.. all I need is one"

Some will say.. hey is being confident and what not.. but when something like this comes out his mouth..it sounds High Schoolish.. ImO Cote will always just need that “one pucnh”..cuz he won’t get it.. at UFC90 or any wher else against Silva..it’s NOt going to happen.. Silva’s sparring partner’s are more comp then the predator.. which in case he will be the one getting hunted down. Cote is banging on his chest.. grabbing his nutz.. but deep down inside.. he’s shook.

He knows whats going to happen..he will try just not to look as bad as Irvin did.. after Irvin..ran his lip about " This is why we have weight classes "..and after he woke up.. Anderson’s after comment..was total class. If Cote comes out and tries to rush him a la Babalu/Iceman2.. he’ll get drugged in 90seconds flat.. if Cote comes out less aggresive.. Silva will figure out his timing.. and punch out his time card in 4 minute flat.

i got a feeling cote might catch anderson.. but the cut from his 205 training might slow him down a bit.. highly unlikely but it might.. if cote cant beat him then noone at mw is left i guess dana will have to try

I like Cote, but he’s gonna get smoked. I agree that he’s going to try to put on a better show than Irvin. Between the two, I would have given Irvin the better chance. Hopefully Cote doesn’t throw any kicks, at least if he gets caught he can scramble and survive another 3 or 4 seconds.

Cote does have a pretty good chin as we seen when he fought Leban, and he’s going to need it! I would have thought Irvin stood the better chance than Cote and Irvin lasted abut a min. If he hadn’t of thrown that kick to the middle of Silva’s body it might of went a little longer. I would be soooooo surprised if this fight went past the first round. I’m not sure if Cote has ever been ko’d, but its coming!!

Who has Cote fought that can be considered anywhere near Silva’s level? He never fought Franklin, Okami, Henderson, anyone in the UFC most would consider atop the division. He beat Drew McFedries. oh wow…

And as it’s been said already… If he thinks it’ll take 10 punches from Silva, perhaps he should have a talk with Rich Franklin, Dan Henderson, Nate Marquardt, and James Irvin.

I was just wanting to say too that I bet Cote doesn’t land 1 punch to Silva’s face. I think with Silva’s height and reach advantage (and superior skills) Cote will never even get close to landing a big shot and the Spider is going to kill him. I can’t wait to see Silva fight another lhw. i wish they would give him Forrest in his next fight. 2 belts would be pretty cool.

I wanna see Cote vs Franklin.. Cote might have better hands than Franklin so who knows how well he’ll do! I Give him 2 rounds

On paper this seems like a total mismatch. However, I’d give Cote a better chance than Irvin. Cote needs to perform a lot better than he did in his last fight (which was very tentative). Being an ex-soldier (who I believe saw active service in Bosnia), I doubt that Cote will be afraid to exchange with Silva.

The only guy with the tools to beat Anderson at middleweight is Dan Henderson. But since he can’t stick toi a game plan Anderson will be champ for a long time.

Did anybody see Cote last fight? , he got beat on the first round by Almeida, yes Cote won the fight after that First round, but after that the fight was boring, he won the fight, cause Almeida just changed his strategy, he used in the First round, and Almeida sucked after that. So I dont think that Silva is going to be like that, Cote is not a real contender right now. He will be Humiliated.

I’m pumped to see this fight.

Hendo is the only one at mw with a shot against silva. Cote will get destroyed, 1st round.

Chris Leben has an Iron Chin??? Cote’s head is more solid… when they fought eachother.. Chris Leben Got rocked by cote not the other way around.
also Leben Lost to Kalib “TrackStar” Starnes

Ummm I still don’t know how Cote is in a championship fight. Mediocre at best!!! Seriously people?!?! Cote??? versus Silva?!? This is a joke. Even if it’s not, the fight WILL be.

Cote is the number #1 contender, that’s why he gets a championship fight. Why wouldn’t people be happy to see him get distroyed by Anderson, that’s what I want to see. #1 striker in the world against a so-so striker, should be a great 35 seconds.

Not sure if I want to pay $45 for 35 seconds.

if cote gets a shot why not bisping??

The reason for this lame MW fight instead of the more interesting LHW match-ups is that it would be a commercial disaster for the UFC if Silva had two belts. They need a variety of contenders. He’s already attached a second-rate aura to the other fighters in the MW division. Imagine if Silva beats a big LHW name. For example: “silva beat jardine, and jardine beat griffin, ergo silva could beat… etc.” If the LHW division starts to go the way of the MW and HW divisions (uncompetitive and w/o believable stars) the company would be in trouble.

And then there’s the sceduling. Silva can’t fight every other month to defend two belts.

It won’t happen ever. Too bad.

The new BJ and new GSP should fight again. That would be the best fight I’d ever see.

The only MW fighter deserving of a title shot now is Ryo Chonan. That’s right..Silva vs. Chonan II!!
