He was being smart and not try to go through what GSP had to with Serra at UFC 69. He still won the rounds decisivly and wasn't being disrespectful that's just how Silva operates. The late hits and the helping hand, that's just how he fights, he's a performer. That's just how Silva puts on a show if the fight hadn't ended it would have still been a W for Anderson, no one can deny it. If anyone has respect for opponets it Anderson just watch his interviews after his fights against Rich Franklin.

Too freaking right. It was unfortunate, but Cote should have been applauded for even taking the fight and for absorbing the hard shots that the Spider DID land. I guarantee almost nobody fighting MMA at 185 - 205 - on this site who is disrespecting Cote would even consider fighting Silva. “The real dissapointment for a fan is TKO via injury, and I’d wager ours is insignificant compared to Cote’s.”

This Silver debacle is another example of a blood hungry knockout fever causing contoversy where it neednt be. I hope all the detractors of smart fighters are ready for a 5 round past master. If Lesnar injured himself in the 5th round after a chessmatch with Randy will everyone still complain. Personally - I thought what Silva was doing was odd but entertaining none the less.

This is MMA, not some grade school soccer league where even the losers get trophies so no body's self esteem is injured. Who cares whether Silva was “disrespecting” Cote?

There should have been 2 1/2 more rounds for Silva to come in knock him out, its unfortunate because nothing played out because of injuries and all the speculation starts. The only thing that impressed me with Cote was him breaking Anderson's Thai clinch. I'd really love to see Filho fight Silva, but I don't think it will ever happen, they are very good friends and the Brazilians stick together. Chuck and Anderson would be a sweet fight though, and I would absolutely love to see Anderson dismantle Bisping, but that is not a good business strategy if Silva is going to be retiring.

Its two months away and would allow for a quick rinsing of any bad tastes left from UFC 90. Plus, Okami is Spider Silva's last real fight at 185, given their history, and from there he can move up to 205. Then either Okami would be the surprise champion or they could deem Henderson v Franklin at UFC 93 a 185 title bout OR a semi-final match and pit WEC champ Paulo Filho against Maia / Marquadt / Bisping / Leites) in another semi-final for the UFC Middleweight championship. Hmm... maybe this only makes sense to me Why haven’t I heard anything about Dana White pulling Yushin Okami out of his UFC 92 fight and having Silva vs Okami then (since Silva has made noise about wanting to fight ASAP) ?
