UFC 90 Nearing Sell Out
More than 80-percent of the nearly 19,000 tickets for UFC 90 “Silva vs. Cote”, which takes place on October 25th at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois, were sold within hours of going on sale, according to the Chicago Sun-Times, generating a live gate in excess of $2 million with 3,000 of the higher priced tickets still available.
“This is a bold statement in a town with the White Sox and Cubs and the Bears, but I guarantee you this will be the most exciting live sporting event you have ever seen,” UFC President White told the Sun-Times. ”I can’t explain it to you. You have to experience it. Chicago is the biggest pay-per-view market for us, and ratings for Spike TV’s The Ultimate Fighter reality show are huge in Chicago. We’re going to beat WrestleMania as the highest-grossing event ever at Rosemont.”
UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva takes on 185-pound contender Patrick Cote in the UFC 90 main event. Welterweights Diego Sanchez and Thiago Alves are also slated to clash at the October 25th event.

Cote to win by KO in the 1st !!!!
All the Silva fanboys get your excuses ready your boy is going down and will be found out to be a poor mans Belfort !!!!
Here we go…………………1..2..3..4
Wolf/Marko/Slick,
Stop trying to get angry/negative reactions out of people. Cote is far from Silva’s toughest opponent. Silva is better at every part of the MMA game in this match. Cote will have to be very very very very very very very very very lucky. Someone from his corner may need to bring in a steel chair to stop Silva.
Who is marko & slick ?
Sorry if i offended.
Just taking the piss thats all !
I don’t see Cote winning this one at all but i do believe cote will last more than one round with Silva.
Again, sorry if i offended anyone.
SHERK V GRIFFIN HAS JUST BEEN MADE OFFICAL
I agree Kouch. I disagree on your anti-golf remarks on another post. Still angry about that, but this is true. I would love to see some lucky crap happen and Cote win, but the chances are slim to none. Probably another 1 or 2 minute fight. I see a punch or knee rocking him about 45 seconds in and the fight ending up on the ground where poor Cote has absolutely Zero chance of not getting submitted.
I’m only 3 hrs from Chicago and I’m going to watch this one on PPV. Not too crazy about the card. Where are the LHWs?
did anyone see cote’s plan for silva? he said hes going to push the pace and keep going forward with silva….anyone else think this is probably the worst plan ever? This fight won’t make it out of the first round, but it will be fun watching anderson silva dominate another opponent…
winners in CAPS…
SILVA vs cote
SANCHEZ vs alves
GRIFFIN vs sherk
damn good card…
Swick was just added to ufc 90 and should be fighting one of his aka boys, kos or fitch. Fitch not likely because he was just decapitated by my boy, but i seriously can’t think of a suitable opponent. Karo’s fighting mortal komat dude, diego and thiago are fighting, who else in the ww division is there other then kos? I think it’s g@y that “friends” don’t fight eachother. Like how sick would it be if anderson made a run at the lhw title? But he isn’t cuz “that’s lyotos belt”.
I dont think Cote has a chance against Silva to be brutelly honest. I personally dont believe Cote could handle even Henderson, Franklin or Marquardt. Fair play to him beating Almeida, but his other victories are against guys who are no-where near Silva’s level.
Silva lets not forget has wiped out 185lbs (and Irvin), and i’d rank all of Silva’s opponants higher than Cote. Maybe not Lutter, but even he has a victory over Cote. I rest my case. And after seeing Silva make knocking out Irvin (the big punching boxer like Cote) look as easy as taking a piss…
Silva by TKO in the 1st.
Alves V Sanchez looks very exciting. Alves looked bloody dangerous against Hughes. Which is a shame cus I dont really like him, nevertheless, Alves TKO in the 2nd or 3rd.
Griffin and Sherk looks great to…however I think Sherks experiance will come through. Sherk by decision.
SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD CARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SANCHEZ/ALVES FIGHT THE MOST
How can you not be crazy for this card??! The card is AWESOME…minus the main event… I think Almeida would have gave Silva a better fight than Cote will…this will be over in the 1st…but the rest…wow…Alves vs Sanchez, Griffin vs Sherk….those are GREAT fights….either could easly be a headliner over this one…
If Alves wins, he should get GSP and if Griffin wins, he SHOULD get Penn but I bet he gets the winner of Florian and Stevenson…THEN the winner gets Penn…
on the fight club site it says swick wont be ready from his elbow surgery till dec.
Yeah, this is a bunch of crap. I wanted to buy $100 tickets. they went on sale at 10am, and I got on at 11am…..they only had $500-$600 tickets left. I cant see myself paying that kind of money unless I get head from the ring girls as well.
As i said i don’t see a Cote win
But i wont write him off especially after Serra beating GSP last year.
I’m predicting :
I’d go with Silva by sub in the 3rd
Alves by TKO in the 2nd
Griffin by SD over Sherkroid
SILVA by KO in 7 seconds….new world record
ALVES by TKO in the 2nd
SHERK by unanim. dec.
COTE COULDNT BEAT SILVA IF SILVA HAD BOTH OF HIS ARMS TIED BEHIND HIS BACK AND WAS BLINDFOLDED………….SAYING COTE HAS A CHANCE AT BEATING SILVA IS LIKE SAYING JAKE SHIELDS HAS A CHANCE AT BEATING GSP…….THAT WAS FOR YOU KOuch!
If Cote can’t stop a guy with zero standup (almeida) than how is he gonna stop a guy like Silva who has the best striking in the division (probably in the world) and is just as good on the ground as almeida….Silva by TKO late 2nd…
ok how the hell di cote even get this tittle shot someone please tell me cuzz he has not beat anyone
(ricardo almeida) cote got the split decision but we all saw he lost that boring fight
(drew mcfedries) won
(kendall grove) won
(scott smith) won those are a bunch of nobodys now his loses in ufc
tito ortiz: LOST
chris leben: LOST
joe doerksen: LOST
travis lutter: LOST so how beating nobodys gets u a tittle shot ill never no
well Cote got the shot because Okami broke his hand, Kampann isnt ready yet, Bisbing is scheduled to fight Leben, Silva just beat Hendo & Franklin twice (Franklin now is moving to LHW) i think they wanted Almedia to win but that didnt happen soo they are “feeding” Cote to Silva so he can defend his title one more time this year keep it and wait for 2009 to defend again because then u will have Okami,Bisbing/Leben, Henderson and perhaps a few more fight ready for Anderson @ MW then, does Cote deserve this title shot no i dont believe he does but atleast the UFC can see what kind of ppv drawing power Anderson has fight this guy… thats just what i think happend tho
there is nobody in the MW division really man. Might as well let someone try an upset. Silva isnt to uspet about it….easy payday for him.
****JUST TO INFORM EVERYONE********
DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WATCHING SCORPION KING 2 WITH COUTURE… A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME ACTING IS HORIBBLE I WANTED TO SHOOT MYSELF. I GAURENTEE DANA WHITE WAS WATCHING IT LAUGHING… I CAN’T BELIEVE RANDY LEFT TO ACT… HE’S HORRIBLE AT ACTING….
************************************
thx for the heads up YZ, i wasnt planning on watching but now i know not too, appreciate it thx
I just can’t believe cote wants to push forward against silva…did anyone watch leben try to do that?? I guarantee the same thing happening…Im seriously gunna sh*t my pants if cote makes it out of the first round…
Note to self
Dont watch Scorping King 2
GRIFFIN vs sherk via UD
SANCHEZ vs alves via ko 2nd round
SLIVA vs cote via ko 1st round unless cote can hopfully get a win by a ko in first round hope he wins not a big silva fan
to anyone who hasnt seen it redbalt is an ok movie…it kinda motivated me also i believe MARTIN “THE HITMAN” KAMPMANN is going to be the guy who beats silva…kampmann deserves a title shot and if he beats marquardt then i know he’ll either face okami next or he’ll get a title shot
redbelt*

Hey now YZF… Randy didn’t do too bad in Scorpion King 2 for his first leading role. It was the rest of the actors that were really pathetic. Yes a horrible movie…but Randy didn’t do too badly.
