Almeida 10X better than Silva on the ground? I hope he realizes that BJJ and then BJJ with strikes are very different.

Must be taking a lot of naps

I’m mostly kidding…I hope Cote really does stand and trade…two guys with bricks for heads should make a striking match fun to watch…I hope Cote’s chin is as strong as he thinks it is and it doesn’t turn into a Silva/Leben-esque fight where Cote doesn’t go out, but gets overwhelmed and stopped within a minute. I’d love to see Silva really be able to throw down for a few rounds before a finish.

Glad to see Cote training properly for a championship fight…

Doesn't every fighter train

harder than the fight is going to be anyway? Unless he has some magic potion I suspect that any training he did longer than about 1 1/2 minutes will be harder than the fight.

Not that simple

Unless your training includes a massive adrenaline rush and the fear of another man trying to beat you senseless for a full 5 min. training is not as hard as a fight. I hear a lot of fighters say that they train so hard that the fight should be a breeze but it is just not that simple. You would be surprised how exhausting it is to be in a real fight for more than 2 min.. You can’t really train for how your psyche and body will react to adrenaline and the constant srtuggle to overcome an opponents relentless pursuit of your demise.
