AmericanDragon Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Silva wobbles Cote with jabs and knocks him out in the first round.
Lord of The Curry Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Posted October 23, 2008 Not sure when it'll happen but methinks Silva adds Cote's name next to Leben on the "Never been KO'd until now" list. Pat's chin is solid but...well....so was Leben's. What's everybody think of Clementi/Maynard? IMO Rich is getting overlooked here by a wide margain. He's tough as hell and well-rounded, only way Maynard is beating him is outwrestling him to a decision, I can see him being very active from the bottom and giving Gray trouble standing.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Rich Clementi's stand up is subpar... Gray stand up is getting better every fight, I think he would expose Clementi on his feet, but wont KO him because Clementi can take punishment. Clementi has solid wrestling himself, and I think he could catch Gray in a submission. Tough fight to call, I'm gonna say Gray by UD.
Lord of The Curry Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Posted October 23, 2008 Yikes. Your Clementi bias is coming out pretty badly here. Have you seen Clementi/Stout? I honest to God hope not because if you did then you're talking goofy as Rich's striking looked very good, he utilized head movement well and landed some nice combo's. Gray has never gotten the better of anybody standing yet and I don't see it starting now.
Youth N Asia Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Rich has been on a roll as of late. I see him winning this fight. And I don't see Cote winning, but having a good showing
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 According to someone I train with, my beard is very "Patrick Cote-like." I want to shave, but I may save it till Sunday. Would it be the best thing for the MW division if Cote pulled off the upset?
Lord of The Curry Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Posted October 23, 2008 Franklin, Marquardt and Henderson would all crying tears of joy. Best thing for MMA if Silva loses? Hell no. Best thing for the division? Possibly.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Fuck that, in no way is Cote winning good for anyone but Cote and his boys. It's not gonna happen anyway, biggest underdog in a loooooooooooooong time. Wider gap than Serra-GSP in my opinion.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Fuck that, in no way is Cote winning good for anyone but Cote and his boys. And the city of Montreal.

It's not gonna happen anyway, biggest underdog in a loooooooooooooong time. Wider gap than Serra-GSP in my opinion. Pretty much, yeah. With Serra/GSP there was always the chance of a good shot wobbling GSP. I literally have tried to conceive ways of Cote winning and nothing comes to mind.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Fuck that, in no way is Cote winning good for anyone but Cote and his boys. And the city of Montreal. Most people I know in Montreal want to see Anderson Silva knock his head off of his shoulders. The only people that don't, train with him. By all accounts, an arrogant dick.
Lord of The Curry Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Posted October 23, 2008 He was really cool to my roommate back at a TKO show but said roomie was mad drunk at the time.
Youth N Asia Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 If Silva loses to Cote then everyone pretty much thinks he gets a rematch right away and wins it right back. However it would kill his unbeatable mystiq about him and make future fights a little more competative

Most people I know in Montreal want to see Anderson Silva knock his head off of his shoulders. The only people that don't, train with him. By all accounts, an arrogant dick. My cousins met him at the club more then once, and he said he's a cool guy. Same with GSP, and Loiseau... But but cousin says Goulet is an ass.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Goulet is actually really nice. I'd go so far as to call him a geek, and I mean that in the nicest way. A lot of people get the wrong impression when they meet these guys in public, they extrapolate one chance encounter with a judgement of the person's character as a whole. Sometimes they're having a bad day, but for the most part these guys know to be polite and nice because it means a lot for their image. But I'm pretty sure Cote is an ass based on his general demeanor.
Lord of The Curry Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Posted October 24, 2008 Very good Countdown show. Silva is awesome, Cote isn't. What I expected.
Youth N Asia Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 Anderson sneaking up on the Big Macs had me rolling
AmericanDragon Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 http://www.mma-core.com/videos/_Anderson_S...970&tid=107
Rendclaw Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 The Big Mac section was very funny. Paintball with frozen balls?? Damn. I know I am stating the oh-so-obvious, but it does *not* suck to be Anderson Silva.
Lord of The Curry Posted October 24, 2008 Author Report Posted October 24, 2008 Weigh-in notes.... - HATE in the staredown between Franca and Aurelio. Maybe somebody (*coughTongcough*) could fill us in on the bad blood between the two. - Fisher looked great - Burkman missed weight - Sherk is now in the Tim Sylvia Heel Hall of Fame. Dude's never going to get cheered. - Koscheck got the Love to Hate heel heat - Cote looks, if nothing else in shape
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 Anderson Silva is officially the coolest man alive. If he could only speak English well, then he would be the superstar he should be.
AmericanDragon Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 Santos (6'4") in shoes is an inch shorter than Werdum (legit 6'4"). I hate it when fighters lie about their heights. (unless they're understating it like Anderson used to do)
RavishingRickRudo Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 This All Access is awesome, Anderson Silva is the coolest motherfucker ever.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted October 25, 2008 Report Posted October 25, 2008 - HATE in the staredown between Franca and Aurelio. Maybe somebody (*coughTongcough*) could fill us in on the bad blood between the two. Franca and all of American Top Team have big time beef... It had to do with Franca awarding Kurt Pellegrino his black belt in BJJ. And Ricardo Liborio the head BJJ instructor at ATT, has said that he can be the only one in ATT that awards black belts. Franca took offense to this and made a picture vandelizing the ATT symbol and sent it to Liborio.
Youth N Asia Posted October 25, 2008 Report Posted October 25, 2008 Burkman made the weight in the 60 minutes he had. Anderson is the coolest cat on the planet
Lord of The Curry Posted October 25, 2008 Author Report Posted October 25, 2008 Watching that All Access was, honest to God, depressing as shit. You might lead a good life, love a good woman, do things you dreamed of. But at the end of the day it hits home that you'll never be as cool as Anderson Silva.
Lord of The Curry Posted October 25, 2008 Author Report Posted October 25, 2008 Predictions, just cause.... Silva, KO R2 Alves, TKO R3 Werdum, DEC Sherk, DEC Maynard, DEC (though I still feel Clementi is getting slept on here)
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted October 25, 2008 Report Posted October 25, 2008 The best part about the Franca thing is that they took a picture with him, Pellegrino and someone else in front of the ATT building giving the finger while holding up the black belt. Maybe he'll never be a world champion, but it's hard to hate a guy as affable and with as much heart as Hermes Franca. Call it the Mark Hunt effect. Really solid card top to bottom, I'm even interested in the main event, just to see how far Cote has really come before he gets smashed.
