"The fight was boring. The reality is when there are two guys who are really good at different things, and guys who have different game plans, that’s sometimes what happens."

-- UFC President Dana White tells NBCSports.com that even though Patrick Cote's win over Ricardo Almeida last night was boring, it was good enough to earn him a future title shot against 185-pound killer, Anderson Silva. However, "The Predator" may have to take a ticket and wait in line -- Silva fights James Irvin in two weeks and there is speculation that Yushin Okami might be teed up for "The Spider" at UFC 88: "Breakthrough" on September 6.
