Cote has a set on him. Crazy bastard
Going to be a great fight, both Silva and Cote looked ready. Awesome stare down!
I got to say Cote on this one its just seams like he wants it more
“Serra effect” taking over MMAFrenzy.com?????
???
my hopfully win:
COTE
SHERK
FRANCA
Koscheck wished nightmare was fighting instead
MAYNARD
FISHER
good luck to those fighters
I’d like to see Cote win especially since I have money on him. However, we are talking about Anderson freakin Silva. I really think this will be a great fight.
but i am a little drunk right now so who knows
I’d give Michael Bisping more of a shot at beating Fedor Emilianenko than Cote beating Silva.
no chance.
Silva
Alves
Werdum
Sherk
Maynard
Leites
Fisher
Miller
Franca
Sell (would have taken burkman, but not sure how the weight cut will affect him)
What is it with Burkman and not making weight on time. This is like the 3rd time now in a couple of years that I know of. So unprofessional. If I was him I would either hire a nutritionist or sack the one he has. Hell, if my fat lazy ass can make weight on time for fights then sure as hell he/someone of his level can.
“Serra Effect” was a conversation that most of us had the other day UFCfan, because Cote is such a dog v Silva the fear is that Cote will shock the world and ko Silva ie “Serra effect”:::cliff note version
My picks
Burkman
Franca
Miller (tho I enjoy Horwich)
King Fisher
McFedries (needs this win)
Maynard v Clementi (I want a great fight between these two I’m not picking a winner just want to enjoy the fight)
Griffin
dos Santos
Alves
Anderson “the Spider” Silva
Burkman is garbage! His last win was a SPLIT decision over….hmm….Forrest Petz…..who???? Forrest Petz(unless I missed something) almost a year or more ago. I do not understand how some fans view Burkman so highly. I feel bad calling him garbage but he does not belong in the UFC right now.
Silva is going to hurt Cote. NO SERRA EFFECT!!! Silva is my favorite fighter in the whole wide world but if he does lose…..I would not be too pissed off. I would be in shock and amazed the Patrick the Truck Cote won. Anyone remember the boos from Cote;s last fight? The fans were bored because no one was pushing the pace. Cote better have a trick up his sleeve and taken a 360 in fighting style if he wants even the slightest chance. An iron jaw is meaningless when it comes to fighting Silva. The best thing about the match up is Cote will likely stay standing and get KTFO.
I have a crappy feeling Kos wins by take downs and control. If that is the case we can all look foward to a slightly boring match. I felt Diego would win as well had he been able to fight. The way I see it, technical ability over comes power more times than not. NOT ALWAYS! I hope that is the case. I F-ing cannot stand KOS! I want to have a beer with the guy or chill just to see if he is likeable in any way as far as human beings go. I really think he wants the fans to like him….his personality has some sort of social defect and needs repairing….that’s all.
KOuch,
In regards to Kos as a person, I watched the “Countdown” show on spike last night, and after watching that he seems like he has grown out of some of the crap he did on TUF. He’s also made some decisions to help him keep control of his life. I gained a lot of respect for him, but still have seen enough from him to say that I like him now, I just dislike him less at this point.
Justin,
“Dislike him less.” LOL…I like that one.
It’s not that I like you now Mr. Koscheck, I just dislike you less. There is still hate in my body for you.
-Justin
Kos is a ****y lil shhh, yet one thing I did like to hear is that he had quit drinking, in every annoying encounter I’ve had with Kos has been while he was drinking sooo perhaps the sober Kos is a better person (typical in people that are pricks when they drink)
KOuch, I dislike Sell more than I dislike Burkman hince I pick Burkman…. I believe that Spider will win too
hey kris just thought u might wanna kno accordin to ufc.com burkman made 171 an hour later
FR,
Sell should be out of the UFC too in my opinion. I feel loser is out and the winner had better look impressive in his next match.
KOuch, I agree with you if its a boring ass fight get rid of them both why not??
Hey are u going to the StrikeForce event in a month???
For those that wanted an update.
Burk did make weight with in the hour he was given to lose it.
Go Patrick Cote!!! Silva is a great champ but I would love to see Cote shake things up! Then a potential rematch??? It would help out the division a great deal if anyone could take out the Spider……and Cote has the power to do it…..
I have
Silva
Kos
Sherk
Maynard
Werdum
Horwich
Burkman
I think Kos is sooo underrated.. I see him as being the #2 guy right behind GSP. he’s insane and he is only getting better!
Chuck, it definately would mix things up to say the least.. Is it possible, hey its the fight game anything is possible.. Many people seem to be just waiting for Anderson to lose… I take Anderson tho he is the man to put it simply…
Brandon, Kos is extremely talented his standup is getting better everyday this is a fight to see who is absolutly #2 imo, I just personally want to see Kos get ko’d
The chances Cote beats Silva is…1000000/1. Cote is a ****y, i cant stand him. He will lose decisivly. The only time I have seen Silva in any sorts of trouble is against a fella who is not even in the UFC anymore. Its like he wanted to be mounted…he got out of it easy enough.
FR702,
I like McFedries…..I hope he wins…but i dont that he stands a chance against laites.
I also see Cote Shocking everyone.
I do not see a Silva 1st round blow out Cote works with Dellagrotte the man who helped mastermind Florian game plan against Huerta Cote really impressed me in the Almeida fight he looked very good.
Silva wins it will be via sub in the 3rd but i really have this hunch Cote is going to do a Serra on paper he should not win but no fight is won paper.
To me Silva does not seem interested in this fight as much as Paddy…
Yah, i got to give it to my fellow canadian, even though anderson will pick him apart. Anyway KOS in my opinoin is in top 5 but no way #2, I would like to see him fight hughes or fitch to prove something. Anyway I got.
Silva
Alves
Werdum
griffin
rich
spence
leites
franca
drago
Cote is ****y!!!! that’s rich…seems most of these guys are ****y, you have to to believe you’ll win everytime, don’t you? I’d say Cote’s only chance at winning would be to rush Silva and catch him with something (what i thought would be James Irvin’s gameplan, but he decided to box a superior boxer). Burkman/Sell should be a ‘loser retires’ match, but then theoretically they’d both have to retire…or maybe a ladder match…nobody cares anyway…i’d rather watch Ernie and Bert fight.
Bert & Ernie are lovers not fighters
Slowly gaining more respect for KOS and Leben. They’re getting all growed up and so mature…good boys…
Seriously Leben, after the Bisping fight was nothing but respectful and conceded he lost in multiple interviews.
KOS is in the same boat. I think they both just have more respect for the sport. When KOS said that he and Diego spoke a couple weeks I was pretty shocked.
just seen the ufc all access show with anderson silva, made me like anderson silva more but then i saw him playing football with a manchester united top on tu tu tu which is bad form as i hate man u more then anything in this world, then he kept calling football “soccer”, when only americans do that and seen as brazil are one of the best or even thee best football team around i dint like that, so now im hopeing cote kicks his ass, but i also no silva is guna knock him out 1st round haha, i dont think cote respects silva’s hand power which is bad for him
I like Silva and Cote and would not be upset either way. Anything could happen but you would have to be crazy on acid to put any serious $ on Patrick Cote. Did anyone read the fantasy preview on the UFC website? They predicted the outcome of the Sherk/Griffin match to end by TKO. What a joke. If that fight doesn’t go the distance I’ll be more shocked than if Patrick Cote KO’ed the Spider. I also think a lot of people including Werdum (look how fat he was at the weigh ins) are underestimating Junior Dos Santos.
