So he knows what it takes to put up or shut up. his record and opponents don't matter, none of that is going to help either fighter come Oct 25, he will put on a show. I not a fighter but know their professionals and will do as such, so all yall couch mattress show some respect . i like Anderson as the champ but i give Patrick cote more than punchers chance he’s a big game fighter he knows how to step up, look at his first fight with Tito, he was in his prime and fighters were afraid of him Cote step up in weight class and fought him to a decision.

Cro Cop was at the top of his game after winning the Open Weight Grand Prix then signed with the UFC and went 1-2 against fighters not even in the top 10 within their division. Coleman hasn't had a quality win since beating Don Frye in 2003 (beating Shogun by him breaking his arm doesn't count). @ #36

Especially the uppercut in the taint one. lolol. GT03 Champ said it well here too: # # 13 Gt03champ Says: July 27th, 2008 at 9:46 pm They should give Cote a bat. Cause then he might have a fighting chance. lol, i love the comments about the guy who said Silva was “overrated”. Especially the uppercut in the taint one. lolol.

Re-watch the Jorge Rivera fight. Anderson lets Jorge punch him on the chin a bunch of times and Anderson just laughed it off. I hate to play MMA math but

Sure, they might be on a downhill slide now, but in their prime they were the best of the best. What is your backing that they were overrated?

Franklin was a dominate champ and Dan Henderson held two belts. I love Gsp and Penn but they just made the first title defenses. By the way where the hell is Randleman anyway. He's probably a bouncer at some club somewhere First Hunt, Coleman, and Cro Cop are highly overrated. Franklin was a dominate champ and Dan Henderson held two belts.

The MW top 10 murders the HW top 10 if sizes were fairly equal. But for some odd reason people seem to act like beating a top ranked HW is the biggest accomplishment in MMA when its really not.

Penn and GSP are dominating far more difficult divisions. Fedor has beat all the toughest heavyweights in the world, and never really lost a fight. Silva has beaten Rich Franklin, Dan Henderson, Travis Lutter, and Nate Marquardt. Those are his most credible opponents. Fedor has beaten Sylvia, Hunt, Coleman, Cro Cop, Nogueira and Randleman. Just to name a few. I'm not sure why there is doubt in peoples minds at to who the number one is.

He has decimated the middleweight division. The light heavyweight division is on notice that he is on a quest to lay waste to that division. Is he number 1 p4p? No doubt. He has destroyed all who have opposed him in the Ufc. Thats why Anderson is moving up in weight classes. He has decimated the middleweight division.

Number one in the world though? He has dominated the weakest weight class, and moved up to fight someone who isn't even a Top 15 fighter. He's great, but not the greatest. When I said that he was overrated, I was not debating his ability, nor his validity as MW champ, as both are evident. Just his Number 1 p4p title. Anderson is one hell of a champ.
