I enjoyed reading the post above, my take is simple: Silva fought a smart fight, he landed clean, landed hard and at the same time avoided clean and hard shots from cote.
He had a gameplan and executed it to the T. He also did what most intentionally ignore because secretly inside some want Silva to fall, and thats to know the gameplan of your opponent. Which for cote was to concoct a brawling inside exchange that would give him a chance to rock Silva. He even told the world his gameplan when he said I will take 10 of Silva’s to get my one!! hint, hint.. He also told the world his alternative gameplan when he said that he thinks Silvas wrestling his suspect, meaning he planned to try to take silva down, if he could not land on the feet and guess what he tried to take Silva down..hint,hint..
Again, Silva fought a smart fight by landing and moving not running, but landing to frustrate your opponent so that they will do the inevitable – make a mistake!!
I know alot of people including ufc pres. dana white have idolized Silva and granted he has been blessed by GOD but they forget why they idolize him, maybe because he’s a great fighter, who fights smart, who respects his opponents, and who execute his gameplan.
Tell me this you ufc fans, streetfighters, and ufc fighters which is a better gameplan
#1 land clean, land hard, land decisive, avoid his right hand strength, respect your opponent, and at the same time wait till your opponent makes a mistake, then capitalize, if it ends in tko take it, if it ends in a KO take or
#2 go in wild, poising like you want to fight technical but all along swinging for the fences, hoping that somehow, someway that I land, and absorb some of his punches along the way so that I can give him my one, and if all that don’t work then try to sneak in a takedown and gr and pound. and then I’ll say after the fight I f– him up??

Cote clearly dominated the entire fight, silva had no chance. If it had gone the third, cote was knocking silva out with flying knee. Silva has no stand up ability

If you watch the fight again, you will notice that with each minute of the fight, Silva was getting more and more aggressive, essentially “feeling out” his opponent. However, even at the beginning, nobody can say that Cote was dominating the action. The path to destruction was only halted by his own injury.

Wow, he survived a few good punches and a knee and made it to round 3. I give him credit for that, but from Cote’s viewpoint it made him the winner somehow.
It’s tantamount to Cote shaving his head and walking through Kimbo Slice’s neighborhood without getting shot. You may have survived but it don’t mean spit because you walked VERY fast.

If Cote had beaten Silva, or at least have endangered him at ANY time, he would have some reason to boast. As it stands, he is simply being a chump for even talking. He should thank Anderson for the opportunity to even step in the ring with him.

“red” said “This fight almost seemed to me that Silva was bored and tired to make it interesting”
that sums it up for me as well. I was curious to see what Cote said, “Biff” describes how I feel on that one: “Sounds like Cote is suffering from some dementia”

forget a rematch with cote n silva, give yushin okami his shot at silva given he beats lister, cote wouldnt of even gotten his shot had okami broken his hand., then silva can move to lhw. cote can bitch all he wants saying he ‘fucked’ up silva. most people would think Okami would probably do a worse job than Cote, but give him his shot, hes only lost to franklin!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Uh Cote, You TKO’d yourself, Anderson let you live, he was so unfraid of you, that he decided to get a Cardio work in, for next real fight, before you TKO’d yourself.

Cote sure is setting himself up for a decapitation if (hopefully not) they rematch. Delusions of Cote grandeur.

Cote says he was winning the fight B4 he KO’ed himself. That’s a good one!!! But who didn’t know we were going to hear this sooner or later? Put Cote back in the octagon with Travis Lutter that will shut him up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like Cote, but he is either delusional, or just trying to hype himself up a bit. Silva did him a huge favor by letting it go on as long as it did. I think he was trying to give the fans a good show instead of annihilating Cote from the get-go, but it kinda backfired on him because of Cote’s freak injury. If the fight had played out the way it would have if Cote’s knee hadn’t gone poo-poo, I don’t think people would be complaining about Silva’s showboating.
