[Club Fighter]

Alright, fellas, it's 'bout to begin. Tyson Griffin is coming out to "Eye of the Tiger." Hopefully this will ensure us good things to come. :good

Fight goes to Sherk to me.

[Nuke]

great fight I call it UD for Sherk. Real good fight I thought Sherk won all three rounds. maybe Griffin won the last but Sherk def the first two.

[Nuke]

Again UFC fans booing like the retards they are.

[SouthpawSlayer]

[Nuke]

no offense Violent



oh and on a side not the ******* channel 24267 MMA-TV

[Polymath]

30-27 Sherk on my card, all close and competitive though, Great fight. :good

[Club Fighter]

Again UFC fans booing like the retards they are.

What's the deal with that? I figure they'd boo no matter who they gave the fight to. I think it was rather obvious that Sherk won, tho.

[Club Fighter]

Heavyweights (yawn)

[Kairos]

Does anyone have an internet feed for this fight?

[Grievesy]

Why the fuck is Werdum fighting this nobody? I've never fucking heard of him. Werdum just beat Vera ffs! He should be steeping up and put in position for a title shot.

[Club Fighter]

Dude, that was a fuckin' snoozefest and I don't expect this to be any different.

[BewareofDawg]

Why the fuck is Werdum fighting this nobody? I've never fucking heard of him. Werdum just beat Vera ffs! He should be steeping up and put in position for a title shot.
Because the UFC idiots gave Mir the shot at Nogueira for whatever reason. And Lesnar the Shot at Couture. Werdum would beat Lesnar, Mir or Couture...but not Nog :nono

[Nuke]

Werdum will fight for the title after that stupid mini tournment they are doing. Werdum will end up fighting Nog in my opinion.

[BewareofDawg]

ummmm, can I take my last post back :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

[Grievesy]

Oh shit! I guess I'll shut up!

[Club Fighter]

LOL. Werdum took a mean uppercut and was D-O-N-E!!!

[BewareofDawg]

Omg! :yikes

[BewareofDawg]

But still he shouldn't have been fighting this fucking guy. He already did enough for a title shot....now hes back at square one.

[Nuke]

OK Werdum WON'T be fighting the winner hahaha unbelievable

[SouthpawSlayer]

what a ko

[Grievesy]

Anyone notice how fat Werdum looked? I knoe he wants to bulk up but surely it would be better to put on muscle.

[ravtrav]

" Look at his ears wingle ":rofl

[Club Fighter]

Anyone notice how fat Werdum looked? I knoe he wants to bulk up but surely it would be better to put on muscle.

He "bulked up" to compete with the likes of the new-age heavyweight like Lesnar who sit at the 265 limit. Werdum was 256 for this one . . . and paid the price.

[Grievesy]

You see the smile on Santos' face? Looks like he's just won the lottery.

[boxingcar]

Why the fuck is Werdum fighting this nobody?
I guess you'll have to learn more about him from now on. :D

[Grievesy]

I guess you'll have to learn more about him from now on. :D

Guess so.

[boxingcar]

it would be absolutely huge to see a anderson vs cote upset...doubt it'll happen though.

Don't we'll never hear the end of it from quebec.

[Club Fighter]

Clementi's a douchebag.

Nice music for Maynard.

[Polymath]

I hope fighters aren't seriously trying to 'bulk up' to match Freakzilla. Mind you mark Coleman said seeing BL frightened him down to 205 :lol:

[SouthpawSlayer]

hug and roll fest

[Nuke]

The worst ref AND crowd I have seen and heard in a while.

[Koa]

Have to admit it was more a wrestlers control fight. Not like he did any damage to Clemente, just sat on him all night. Seemed like Clemente actually did more damage while on his back compared to Maynard strike wise. Clemente was the only guy really going for subs too. I'd rather see some aspect of sub attempt be scored than just watching takedowns and dragdowns, unless of course they are slams.

[Club Fighter]

NoDoz, anyone?

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

[Grievesy]

Should be fireworks in the next fight though.

[Club Fighter]

Now this upcoming fight can't help but be exciting!

[Nuke]

Clemente was very smart on his back, grabbing Grays ankles and wrists in wierd spots keeping Gray from doing any real damage.

[ravtrav]

[Only registered and activated users can see links] Thanks for the pick me up!

I hope so but we have the makings for a wrestling match here, so it could be another rollfest.

:rofl :rofl

im lookinig forward to this fight though, alves is huge for a ww

[Club Fighter]

Round Uno - Alves . . . impressive striking from him.

[SouthpawSlayer]

great round alves 10 - 9

koscheck looks good too and rocked him slightly

[SouthpawSlayer]

close second round alves lands some nice leg kicks

20 18 alves

[Club Fighter]

I'm gonna give Round 2 to Alves as well. Not as overwhelming as the 1st one, tho.

[Sweet Pea]

Alves looking damn good thus far winning the first two rounds. He may be the only legitimate challenge to GSP. Brutish strength as well. He's improved with each fight, especially since his loss to Fitch.

[BewareofDawg]

I wanna see Alves move up to 185 and fight Silva.

[Koa]

Interesting how all these wrestlers, with touted takedown ability don't use it when it could help them most. I'm very glad I had no money to bet, I figured Kos would want to dominate this one on the ground and wear Alvez out down there.

[Koa]

I'd rather see Alvez and Penn.

[Sweet Pea]

Interesting how all these wrestlers, with touted takedown ability don't use it when it could help them most. I'm very glad I had no money to bet, I figured Kos would want to dominate this one on the ground and wear Alvez out down there.He tried quite a few times. He was simply unable to get him there. Alves is the better fighter.

[Koa]

He didn't shoot early. He stood with Alves and traded with him. Alves worked leg kicks in and took his shooting ability away. I've seen the type of shoots Koscheck is capable of, and that simply wasn't what I have seen in the past.

[boxingcar]

was fedor in the audience ?

[Club Fighter]

WO[Only registered and activated users can see links]!!!!! I cannot believe how cocky Silva has gotten!!!

[Club Fighter]

I'm ashamed of Anderson. I can't believe he's acting like such a douchebag.

[Koa]

Horrible Crowd.

[Sweet Pea]

NOT one of my favorite performances thus far from Silva, even though he's winning clearly. He's usually all business.

[Sweet Pea]

What an anti-climactic main event.

[Club Fighter]

asl;efio'psaegbf'paseiojmJ[ This was horrible!!!

[Lostmykeys]

:lol::lol::lol:

Stellar Finish.

[Club Fighter]

This was a fuckin' farce. If I woulda paid my fuckin' money to be in the audience I woulda been pissed. He carried that bum 3 rounds and acted like a goddam Fame cast member. Disgrace. He shamed his sport.


They ain't booin' Patrick, dick, they're booing you, Anderson!!!

[The Phenom]

I agree Anderson should be ashamed of himself,he was acting like a total clown.

[geppy]

That fight was horrible, 95 % dancing & bullshiting and 5 % actual fighting. And and a injury ending.

They fought 2 rounds and nothing happend besides Silva landed one good kick, that is fucking it. I am not even sure what the scoring would of been when nothing is happening. Neither man deserved to win either round.

[SkillsSoSmooth]

Hey let's not over react about Silva every champion has a bad day at the office, even though Silva landed some great kicks and punches it was clear he was coasting and to be honest i don't blame him, is he really gonna be motivated to fight someone like Cote?, i mean even in the two rounds tonight (which he probably won) it was evident that the difference in class was huge and that was just personified by Cote nearly throwing a party because he made it past the second round, i didn't like Silva's dancing but as i said i don't think he was inspired tonight at all, i hope they don't have a rematch because imo it's a waste of time and if they do let's hope it comes very soon so Anderson can get him out of the way and concentrate on the guys at 205 who can give him a proper challenge (if that's possible :D) and get him focused.

[IntentionalButt]

What exactly was Silva doing?

[Dostoevsky]

What was Silva doing that was so bad?

[codeman99998]

What was Silva doing that was so bad?
It didn't seem like he was really fighting Cote.

Sure, Anderson always takes the first 90 seconds off to study his opponent. And yes, Silva is a counter striker, so he doesn't lead often. But he literally turned his back to Cote and ran at one point. He barely looked like he wanted to fight at all, and he struck like 30 poses. The offering of his hand made him look like a jackass.

Cote may not be on Silva's level, but there is no reason for Silva to treat the fight like a sparring session or an exhibition. It is for the UFC middleweight championship and he should take it seriously.

I am a huge Silva fan, but man, this was the worst fight I've ever seen him in by far.

[geppy]

Silva wasn't doing anything. He was waiting to counter, but didn't do any countering. It was dreadful.

[Polymath]

What exactly was Silva doing?
Just generally being a twat. Bowing every 3 seconds, offering to help Cote up and patronising the shit out of him. He did this to Franklinn as well, I'm glad ppl are noticing.

[codeman99998]

You are right about Franklin but at least he fought the shit out of Franklin and beat him down. A little clowning here and there isn't SO BAD as long as you are still fighting.

[geppy]

I think Cote won the first round. I was more impressed by the few ( it was a shit fight) leg kicks Cote was landing compared to the funky dancing Silva was doing and one single exchange during the entire round. Siva probably edged out the second from landing one good kick, and done nothing else.

[SkillsSoSmooth]

What exactly was Silva doing?

Usually when he starts the fight he dances around the ring to figure out his opponants technique, movement ect and he done that for the first two minuets of the first round without throwing a punch, his attacks were sporadic at best, it was pretty much the same in the second round although i think he did go for it a bit more but on the whole it just looked like Silva wasn't really bothered, he did land some fantastic kicks and punches like he always does but he didn't seem to want to jump on Cote and take him out like he's done to his past opponants, although to be fair he might have done that in the 3rd round if Cote never injured his knee, i'm sure he would have stepped up the pressure and got the job done but because Silva is seen as the pound for pound best by many the public expect him to provide fireworks in every fight and that simply didn't happen tonight, i just think he wasn't motivated enough.

[Club Fighter]

This was no bad day at the office. He literally ran around the octagon w/o attempting to do anything for the first 2 minutes of the fight - probably more. He was showboating out the ass shuffling his feet and wavin' his arms like a true certified jerk and never attempted to actually fight. For those of us - Rich Franklin, namely - who have seen Anderson take a fight seriously, we know when he's fighting and when he's being a jagoff. People paid for this shit. You don't go in there and act like an asshat. Not to mention there's money riding on his performance.

Here's what Steve Cofield had to say . . .

Between Anderson Silva acting the fool for much of the fight and a fluke leg injury to Patrick Cote, the UFC 90 main event was disaster. Silva won by 'TKO' when Cote could no longer continue with an injured right knee in the third round.


But the story of the night was Silva turning off the crowd by clowning around for the first 10 minutes. Between dancing around the ring, twirling his hands, bowing disrespectfully towards Cote at the end of the first and at one point offering a hand to help Cote off the floor, Silva came off as a big jerk. He went from displaying a Muhammed Ali playful aura early in the fight to looking like he was sticking it to the UFC for matching him up against such a longshot.


It was particularly embarrassing in the ring during the post-fight interviews with UFC color man Joe Rogan who said on three different occasions that it was, "a very entertaining fight." The booing fans weren't buying it.
Did Silva put on a pleasing show for the fans with his slickness or did he resemble something closer to an NFL wide receiver? It's especially insulting to those who bought tickets in Chicago or shelled out bucks for the pay-per-view. The show hadn't exactly delivered a night of fireworks prior to the main event.

[geppy]

Rogan said over and over again that it was an entertaining fight- that is BS.

I would argue that was barely a fight at all.

[SkillsSoSmooth]

I think Cote won the first round. I was more impressed by the few ( it was a shit fight) leg kicks Cote was landing compared to the funky dancing Silva was doing and one single exchange during the entire round. Siva probably edged out the second from landing one good kick, and done nothing else.

He did land some heavy knees to the body late in the second round which seemed to hurt Cote a little so i would argue that Silva was possibly starting to put the pressure on at that point, he never had a chance to prove it with Cote getting injured as soon as the third round started.

Oh, he had a chance. It was called the 1st and 2nd rounds. I wish I was in charge of that shit. I'd dock the sunuvabitch for that display . . . either that or give him a fuckin' Soul Train Award.

[Tuffnutz]

He landed a flying knee and left hand too.

Sillly perfomance by Anderson though.

He should have gone in their to got the job done!

Maybe he had money on Cote survivng the first two rounds though and a 3rd round knock out? :hey

Come on..:D don't you think it's possible that he wasn't inspired tonight?, i mean when you think about what he'd done before tonight and all they have to offer him is Cote?, the man should be in there with Griffin or even Evens, Dana should be wetting Andersons taste buds right now with some exciting fights, he's made good fighters look bad let alone the likes of Cote so that's why i think he was coasting, but if Cote's knee had held out don't you think Anderson would have stepped up the pressure?, of course he would, he just happened to show off without knowing how long the fight would last, i'm sure he thought to himself "i've got three more rounds to put on a show" but that wasn't to be unfortunately, hey yall is it possible for a rematch to happen at UFC 91?.

Shit, the paycheck and the thousands and thousands of people that shelled out the money to watch him fight should be inspiration enough.

From everything I've heard, Anderson is the one that doesn't want to be at 205, it isn't that the UFC doesn't want him there.

Would he have stepped up the pressure? Maybe, hell, probably, but that is no excuse. It didn't take him over 13 minutes to start fighting any of his other opponents.

RJJ was a clowner, and he landed punches. Silva against Franklin clowned a bit in their second fight, and he landed beautiful combinations. He is in there to earn a paycheck and to give me MY money's worth.

The top 185lber in the world and top 3 p4p fighter in the world should be better than what we saw against Cote. Hopefully he can be a little more respectful to the fans, and his opponent, in his next fight.

Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit. You know what, man, when I go to work everyday I don't get the opportunity to be "uninspired." No matter how "uninspiring" I feel my day's task may be I still gotta do that shit and do it to the best of my ability. I don't get to act like an asshat cuz the bossman asked me to do something I feel I'm way too overqualified for. If he had a fuckin' problem with the fight then don't take the fuckin' money. It's that simple. Otherwise he's got however many thousand reasons not to be uninspired. He opted to take the money so he oughta have been plenty fuckin' inspired!

I have absolutely no reservations whatsoever stating that Anderson would have acted like an asshat for the entire duration of the bout had he had the opportunity.

[Beebs]

Along with strategy, I think he knew Cote stood no chance, and was trying, but failing, to add a little extra to the fight, which otherwise would have been just a plain beating. He was trying to make it exciting, but failed.

You know what would have been plenty fuckin' exciting? . . . a plain beating! It's never failed to excite before. Hell, I'll even go out on a limb here and say that's exactly what all the goddam fans in attendance paid their money in hopes of seeing.

These excuses are sickening.

Hey, I agree, but in his mind he wanted to wait until Cote was no longer even remotely dangerous, and figured doing weird shit while doing so would make it exciting, it obviously was not. That said, he still landed quite a lot of brutal shit, and probably was a big factor in the knee blowing out.

The takedown defense into takedown was nice.

Chill out son it's no big deal :lol: , look man i'm just trying to put a different view across, because we all know from his previous fights that he's usually all business but it's just possible that he wasn't in the mood tonight, shit happens man, to be honest i wasn't surprised with his first round performance, it was pretty much the same against Henderson but in the second round he went straight for Hendo like a bull but that just didn't happen tonight, but to be real is it fair to completely blame Anderson when he never had a chance to finish the fight?, yes he was clowing in the first two rounds but i'm positive he would have unleashed that artistic brutality sooner rather than later, and also the disgust on his face was evident after the fight, he's a vain man and a perfectionist and it looked like he just smudged a piece of his art tonight but i'm sure this won't be happening again, and god help his next opponant, i can just see the backlash now :rofl ,

The takedown defence was sublime, and that's a positive to take from the fight, it's clear he's been working on it and that move was brilliant, his footwork (even though he danced too much) was also slick and so was his overall defence, the little he did do was perfect as usual but he just let himself down with the coasting.

[SkillsSoSmooth]

I can't agree that it's Anderson that doesn't want to fight at 205, who on earth does he have to be scared of in that division?, even after his showing tonight there's no doubt at all he'd take out anyone in that division imo.

[québecwarrior]

what the fuck are you toughman?

Cote werent gonna get knocked out, he would had lose, but not by knockout

[codeman99998]

what the fuck are you toughman?

Cote werent gonna get knocked out, he would had lose, but not by knockout

Silva Kos fighters that don't get Kod by other fighters. See Leben, Marquardt, Henderson (not a KO, but he probably could have finished him after hurting him that bad with the knee if he would have chose to.) and Franklin (never KOd at 185.)(

[québecwarrior]

But nothing indicated that Silva would had KOed Cote. If Silva was able to KO him in 2 rounds, he would have. He didnt.
I dont buy into the bullshit he wanted to give Cote more time to not destruct him..bullshit, the people who are saying this are the people who tought that Silva would crush him in 30 seconds.

[alewaboy52]

anderson silva fights best when people are coming at him, look at his fight with leben if u want a good example, he seems to only truely engage when hes being attacked, cote just sat outside most of the fight and never really steped in the pocket, when he did he get the lesser of the exchanges

[codeman99998]

Don't buy into it? He was CLEARLY CLEARLY refusing to engage with Cote almost at all. When he did choose to he landed cleanly...

Maybe he could have KOd Cote maybe not, but there is no reason to pretend that Silva went out and was trying to finish the fight when he CLEARLY OBVIOUSLY wasn't.

Come on man, if anyone was ever carried in a fight, it was Cote.

[sugarngold]

Silva was obviously trying to wear Cote down before engaging in prolonged exchanges. As to how it would have turned out - is anyone's guess. Maybe Cote would have gone the distance - and maybe he would have taken one knee too many that would have dropped him for the first time in his career.

It's a shame about Cote's knee. He may have to wait a long time before he gets another title shot. I don't see the UFC trying to recycle this fight immediately.

[cdnboxing]

what the fuck are you toughman?

Cote werent gonna get knocked out, he would had lose, but not by knockout

Silva should have and could have finished Cote off. The difference in skill level was apparent. Cote was overmatched and got the worst end of the very few exchanges they had.

If Silva came to fight and didnt look so uninspired he would have finished off Cote early.

Silva has finished much more durable fighters than Cote. Hell, the guy polished off Leben in 38 seconds and Leben is one of the toughest guys to finish in the whole sport on the feet.

[Sweet Pea]

Anderson needs to impress next time out after this little farce. That likely turned a few fans off. Usually he's all substance with a little style and flair added in. On Saturday he was more or less just going for style, and it wore off fast.
