hmm silva may lose to cote if he stands with cote but silva is smart and will just submit cote becuase cote sucks at submissions and avoiding them, the only thing he can do is strike and take strikes. ya cote isent good enough for title shot but here are the people who aee
martin kampmann is probley the biggest threat to silva but he better beat nate marquart at ufc 88 and then he will be next for the title
nate loughran-undefeated
damien maia-undefeated
amir sadollah will be soon if he wins a couple more fights
michael bisping but not if he loses to leban at ufc 89
and for the lhw title
13-0 lyto machida is fighting 13-0 thiago silva at ufc 89 the winner will be next for title most likely
and my favorite title the hw title heres the people that are in the picture for that title
brock lesnar
shane carwin
cain velazquez
neil wein
fabrico werdum
this is how they should solve that and make a true number 1 contender
wein vs carwin whoever wins goes to the next round to fight the winner of brock and cain
lesnar vs velazquez whoever wins goes to the next round and fight the winner of the neil shane fight, the winner of the fight of the two winners will fight fabrico werdum the winner of that fight gets the next title shot becuase everyone but one man will have lost recently and that 1 man will be the true number 1 contender
Here is the way that I see it:
True MMA fans will respect the UFC 90 card. It is a well rounded card. Alves vs. Sanchez for a title shot is a key match up. This could go either way. Griffin vs. Shrek is likely to go to the score cards, with Griffin edging it out in a close fight. Silva will likely finish Cote at the start of round 2 via TKO. It’s not always the most deserving fighter that gets a title shot, as will be the case when we see Forest vs. Chuck. Personally, I don’t think that there is one BEST fighter in the light heavyweight division like we see with Silva at Middleweight or Fedor at Heavyweight. Styles make fights and i would pay to see Forest vs. Chuck quicker than I pay for Forest vs. Manchida.
-Faber is a monster. He needs to come to 155 at the UFC.
Silva likes a catch weight fight eh, he kicked irvin’s ass.
Let’s see Anderson Silva vs Brock Lesnar
Brock’d go donkey kong on him and Silva would be crying like a little bitch.
UFC 90 is a real good card, the undercards alone would be a great Fight Night. To bad we wont get to watch all of them. Machida IS boring and that is exactly why the ufc put him up against Thiago Silva hoping he loses. The winner of this fight will more than likely fight Wanderlei. The UFC put Liddell against evans because they can easily market either fighter against forest. Either tuf 1 winnner vs tuf 2 winners or tuf 1 winner vs tuf 1 coach. Cote is the only one in division u can justify fighting anderson. The ufc wanted Okami, he got injured. They should have matched up Bisping against Anderson but they didnt. I think Huerta should fight Maynard next Even though I hear Maynard will fight Clementi(not a bad fight though). It wont happen because its 2 different organizations but tell me Edgar vs Faber wouldn’t be a GREAT matchup. Since that wont happen what about Edgar vs Heurta. Hendo and Franklin take care of business they will fight next. Rampage will fight shogun next. I think if Alves beats Dirty Sanchez he will get GSP after BJ Penn. However if Dirty Sanchez wins I think GSP should ask for a catch weight fight against Silva(I dont think that would ever happen though). Hughes will retire after he recovers from injury and beats Matt Serra. Joe Stevenson should fight Koscheck at 155 just cause I have no idea what the UFC has planned for either of these fighters. And last but not least I believe I Gabe Ruediger should fight Charles Mcarthy because we r the 2 biggest BITCHES ever to fight in MMA.
So simply put- yes the card is pretty decent if you actually watch the ufc fights. It would be a pretty damn good UFN. As an Illinois boy who has tickets to the fight I am a little disappointed though. We see Sherk who is coming off Roids I really wonder what he looks like now. We see two good fighters (at one point who might be done) Franca and Tibau. Cote has stated “I know how to beat Anderson”. You gotta remember Although Cote is a pretty much no name as when he got his first shot in the UFC he fought Tito for the belt on a 15 day notice. If you watch that fight not too shabby against Tito either. Although you knew he was way to fat to be at 205. Well fat for a fighter. I wanted to hear a blockbuster main event. Yes I think that anderson has weaknesses atleast two. I am just waiting for Dana to come out and say someone huge is fighting.
thiago silva vs machida is a perfect #1 contender fight. winner gets a title shot. they dont fight wandy, they dont fight lidell or rampage. title shot. i think thiago will win a descision. anderson cote will be tko like sum 1 up top said. thiago alves vs diego real good fight. this is a really good card.
i think the spencer fisher guillard fight should be a main card fight.
fights for title or #1 contender
rich-dan 185
winner nog/mir-werdum hvy
florian-penn 155
gonzaga vs brock hvy would be maybe good
any 1 who will answer forest vs machida/silva who will win
Your smoking crack aceyeager if u think machida/silva will fight forest ahead of evans and liddell. It wont happen 100% if liddell wins. Liddell is Dana Whites boy he WILL get forest next if he wins. On paper should winner of mahida silva get shot, yes probably. More than likely the winner will face okami after he gets better for that title shot which by then probably will be liddells title. And i am no liddell slappy, just think his next 2 fights will be wins against evens and then forrest. And I think Partick Cote has a legitimate shot at the uspet. I dont think he will upset Anderson, but this is one of those fights where EVERYONE besides canadians think this fight is easy fight and some thinking Cote doent even belong in same ring with Silva. This wil be a close fight, maybe not an exciting fight but a close one.
Why does everyone bust on Cote? He’s the fucking man. Let’s see…no loses in Canada, won his last four in the states…Nullified a bigger, stronger Tito’s wrestling while fighting on only a day’s notice…Yea. Pretty much puts in him title contention.
yea well since lidell got handled and the mchida/silvaa fight isnt happening i guess it will be rashad. but u really cant tell me that if silva were to tko machida he wouldnt get a title shot. and whoever said cote cant stop submissions. so he got beat by luter it happens. did u watch the almeida fight. and silva dosent take people down and submit them he kos their ass with a mix of kicks knees and punches. i give cote a chance tho. he needs to punch smart not wild.he needs to use a jab and keep silva at bay.
evry1 seems to be underestimating thiago silva. he will wear the belt 1 day watch.
and rashad got lucky in drawing with tito. should be a loss. and machida whooped up on tito. so if machida beats silva how does rashad get title shot over machida
tc although your spelling and grammer are horrible atleast you know what your talking about, which could not be said of 90% of the people that post on these boards. Ive been a huge Iceman fan from day 1 but seriously… he should retire his old ass before he gets knocked out some more. He has not put up a good fight against a reputable opponent in a long time. His glory days are over and he will never wear a belt again. There is no way he should ever get another title shot again unless he pulls off a miracle and beats 2-3 top players.
All of you fools out there trashing Cote need to get educated and then start posting…. Burbcore thank you for actually posting something of substance. This guy has done nothing but win his entire MMA career, he has 4 loses in UFC which 3 of them could of easily been called the other way… Silva is unstoppable and will not be beaten unless by fluke bomb landing on his chin(see GSP vs Serra) and that guy could EASILY be Cote as he has one of the hardest right hands in the biz.
Machida is DA MAN. I think he will one day be champ as his style is so unique it is hard to train against. He is as elusive as Silva and his stand up, although not plain to see, is absolutely devastating. You can’t touch him and he seems to be able to land at will on almost any opponent. UFC is doing a great job with their fight cards but everyone needs to remember, first and foremost this is a business and they here to make money. Cards can’t be stacked with 8 superstars everytime cause then next month you get shit,
