Quote of the Day: Anderson Silva

by Nick Thomas on Oct 7, 2008 3:02 PM EDT in News Comment 14 comments

"I think it's going to be real fun." "Cote is going to come out and stand up with me and it will be exciting and entertaining. He's going to hit me and I'm going to hit him a few times and we'll see what happens."

"I believe in every opponent there are some weak points that I can capitalize on." "He may find some weak points in my game where he can capitalize on me, but I am very confident and I'm training very hard. I think Patrick Cote is right: I am beatable."

"I believe the confidence that Patrick Cote has is a good thing." "Every fighter should be confident and the same way he's confident I'm confident. If Cote thinks he's going to knock me out or submit me in the third round that's a good thing to think that. But there is an opportunity that he might get knocked out or submitted. I believe everybody is beatable and that's what makes this sport so interesting."

-- Anderson Silva... all class.

I think it’s impossible for Silva to say the wrong thing. Hard not to like the guy.

"Well if it's gonna be that kinda party, I'm gonna stick my dick in the mashed potatoes."

Agreed.

Too bad hes not a huge draw, the guy is incredible. I get so pumped for his fights.

Gotta like Silva!

However, Cote didn’t even exchange that much with Almeida. I shudder thinking what Anderson is going to do to him, and I like Cote.

Cote wanted to stand, Almeida was trying to take it to the ground

When Cote and Almeida faced off, neither fighter wanted to play to the strengths of the other – therefore Almeida was very cautious about getting into a striking match with Cote, and Patrick was (rightly) wary of being taken down. The net result was an uninspiring fight which regrettably happens from time to time in the UFC.

I’m confident that Cote vs. Silva will be a very different beast. If Patrick can find a way to maneuver around Silva’s laser-guided precision strikes – not to mention being wary of the clinch (see R. Franklin for lesson on what not to do) – then I believe he can win this fight.
