UFC 90 Fight Results - Anderson Silva vs Patrick Cote
UFC 90, what can I say… The UFC has seen better main events. The night started off with a full intense three round fight between Sean Sherk and Tyson Griffin, Griffin’s striking skills looked excellent, it was a close bout, but in the end, Sherk won the decision. The next bout of the night, Fabricio Werdum vs Junior dos Santos. To everyone’s surprise, Dos Santos dropped Fabricio in record time. The next fight, Gray Maynard vs Rich Clementi, boring… Next, Josh Koscheck vs Thiago Alves. From the start Thiago’s striking skills outmatched Koscheck. Early in the first, Koscheck was rocked, but recovered amazingly fast. With time, Koscheck’s confidence picked up and he was looking better and better, until Alves started punishing him with leg kicks. The kicks were clearly damaging Koscheck who was getting weaker and weaker on his legs, and in the end, Koscheck showed a ton of heart, but lost in a decision.
The final bout of the night was quite an upset. Anderson Silva vs Patrick Cote. Anderson Silva felt Cote out for the majority of the first round. I don’t know if he was stalling for the bookies, or if he was planning for a 5 round fight. Silva showed some striking skills in the first, but didn’t really begin to start his punishment until late in the second. Silva landed a number of strikes, and was playing around having fun showing off some unorthodox skills such as the flower motion. Finally in the third, just when Anderson was starting to explode, Cote’s knee buckled, ACL appeared to pop, and the fight was called off with an injury TKO, what a friggin upset.
