There's no way Cote can out strike Silva. Cote’s ko’d in 30 seconds unless Silva’s slacking. There’s no way Cote can out strike Silva.

Not saying any of them would win, but why not make them happen? Yushin Okami was next in line until Cote won his 5th, that has potential to be interesting. There are talks of a possible David Loiseau return, which would end faster than the first Franklin fight but I wouldn't mind seeing him back. And then there's Ryo Chonan, who does have a victory in pride over Silva with the coolest flying leg scissor foot lock ive ever seen, not to mention the only only one I've ever seen. All potential candidates for Silva face punches/knees, but also all potential candidates for exciting fights. On that note, I'd love Cote to win, but its doubtful.

The only reason in hell Cote has this shot is because that division has been cleaned out of contenders. When I say it's been cleaned out, I mean scrubbed with industrial strength bleach. Silva will so outclass Cote that he will actually toy with him for the first round much like he's done with Hendo and Lutter. Yeah, that's what I believe. Silva was intentionally challenging himself against Lutter's BJJ and it never looked to me like Lutter put him in real danger. Cote poses no challenge for Silva as he's beaten far better strikers, so I'm even going so far as to predict that Silva will drop his hands and dodge Cote's strikes at the end of Round 1 (ala Silva/Franklin 2) then unleash a beatdown in Round 2 for the KO. On the plus side, if you put $1 down on Cote to win and he actually pulls off the upset of all time, you'll walk out with the deed to the state of Nevada.

You know, i've ALWAYS said that the person that beats Anderson is going to be someone that isn't even worthy of being in the same ring with him.. [ala Matt Serra over GSP] and guess what folks.. Patrick Cote is not worthy of being in the same cage as Anderson Silva.. Thus, the biggest upset in the history of SPORTS! plus Cote's on this HUUUUUGE luck streak right now.. i mean, Almeida beats Cote 9 times out of 10.. Scott Smith gave top 10 MW, Robbie Lawler a run for his money, twice, so he beats Cote 9 times out of 10 [especially now, he got sooo much better when he started training for lawler]. McFedries will just crack after a good punch.. I don't even know how Cote pulled the Grove KO off.. he was supposed to get walked over in that fight.. oh well.. all i'm saying is if he can muster up the luck to beat all these people [that are better than him] he can probably find the luck to take out Anderson.. just sayin'.. aside from that i have Anderson via TKO r1.. Oh, and i'm suprised most of you guys are picking McFedries to make it into the 2nd round.. hahaha... didn't he lose his last fight in just a minute? via submission? as far as i can tell, he's screwed.. wait.. isn't Leites coming off the Marquardt win? what good is McFedries gonna do him? “David Andrest: It’s all about ways to win. McFedries has one, Leites has dozens”

i love that line..
