UFC HITS CHICAGO FOR UFC 90: SILVA vs. COTE

 

UFC 90: SILVA vs. COTE is available live on pay-per-view at 10 p.m. EST/7 p.m. PST on iN DEMAND, DIRECTV, DISH Network, TVN, Bell ExpressVu, Shaw Communications and Viewer’s Choice Canada for a suggested retail price of $44.95 for standard definition or high-definition broadcasts (where available).

It took Silva (22-4) just 61 seconds to defeat his last opponent, James "The Sandman" Irvin at UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas July 19, but that is par for the course for "The Spider", who burst on to the UFC scene two years ago. His list of victims started with a devastating knockout of Chris Leben in June 2006. He followed that up with two TKOs over Rich Franklin, a submission win over Travis Lutter, a TKO over Nate Marquardt and a second round submission over PRIDE 183-pound champion Dan Henderson. Silva, considered by most to be the most dominant force the UFC middleweight division has ever seen, now faces number one middleweight contender Patrick "The Predator" Cote.

"It's an honor to be fighting Patrick Cote in the first UFC event ever in Chicago," said Silva. "I'm excited to take on Cote, but I am taking him very seriously; he is a dangerous striker and he likes to stand and trade with his opponents. That's the kind of fight fans like to see, and that's definitely the fight we're going to give them Oct. 25."

 

UFC made it official on their Website!  But after watching Silva destroy Irvin, it's strange, but I just cant get excited to see this fight.  Cote probably has nothing more than a punchers chance at beating Silva.  I'm real eager to see who can test Silva, he is the man right now and I'll be pulling for Cote to pull off the upset.  Everytime I picked someone to upset Silva it has backfired!  Looks as if Dana and Silva really are going to stick to their word and have Silva fighting every 3 months.

Cote don’t even have a puncher’s chance…I’m wondering what other fights will be on this card…because UFC 88 and 89 have some sick fights.

Let’s hold our horses now, we only know of two fights so far, it might turn out to be a good fight card.
