UFC 90: Silva vs. Côté UFC Middleweight title fight: Anderson Silva vs. Patrick Côté This mixed martial arts fight between the worlds best pound for pound fighter Anderson Spider Silva (22-4) and Patrick "The Predator" Côté (14-4) will be a huge mismatch right? Not so fast. If they fought 20 times Anderson Silva would beat Cote with ease 19 of those times but I really believe Cote has a shot in this fight. Don’t get me wrong Silva is heads and tails a much better fighter than Côté is, but this is fighting and upsets do happen. Remember when Matt Serra shocked the world and knocked out Georges St Pierre at UFC 69? Why you say? Yes, Silva is the best fighter in the world, Yes Silva is better in striking, Yes Silva is a much better grappler BUT every dog has its day and this will be Côté’s. As a UFC handicapper the online UFC betting odds are heavily favored in Anderson Silva and it is not worth betting on Silva just because the online betting odds are so great. At -675 at Bodog Life it is not worth the risk to bet a lot of your bank roll to win very little. As a UFC handicapper I can not in good faith advise people to bet on Côté. However, I do recommend that this fight is worth a small play. I am personally going to bet no more than 100 dollars on this fight and if I win I come out way ahead. Now for the MMA predication breakdown. Though it might sound crazy I think this will be Côté's day for a huge upset. The reason why is I think Silva might be taking this fight lightly. I don’t think he has been training as hard for this fight as he should have and he has been talking about retiring next year and he has talked about fighting Roy Jones Jr in a pro boxing match and he has talked about fighting Chuck Liddell at 205 and has talked about everything except fighting Côté. Silva's manager has said that Silva would like to fight Liddell, and the fight would make big money for UFC.Yes it woudl but where is the concentration on Côté. On fighting Roy Jones Jr. His manager Ed Soares was quoted “Anderson really would love to fight Roy Jones, Jr. in a boxing match,” says his manager, Ed Soares, confirming recent speculation. “It’s not just talk, we really would like to put that fight together. “We respect Jones’ boxing ability and think he’s one of the best,” said Soares, “but we’re tired of different boxers saying that MMA fighters aren’t technical. Anderson would love to fight Roy Jones in a boxing match under boxing rules to prove that MMA fighters are technical, too.” Anderson Silva has also been talking about retirement and he has even stated that he is going to retire: "I'll retire next year, I already gave my all. I don't need to prove anything for anyone and within one year I'll put my gloves aside." “Everything has its time,” Silva told Sherdog.com in an exclusive video interview, “and I believe my time is already over.” Now does this sound like a fighter that is focused on fighting Côté? This might be perfect timing for Côté to shock the world. Anderson Silva is not as focused as he should be as he has other things on his mind other that Côté. In the world of MMA you have to be totally focused and train hard for your opponent no matter if you think you can beat him. I really believe that Silva will take Côté lightly in this fight and he will be caught with a punch that will hurt him. Both fighters like to strike and this fight will remain standing. Yes Silva has the better strikes in this fight and can knock out Côté from any angle he wants. He also has the kicking, clinch and close fights advantage. One thing that Côté does have is more power in his punches and if he lands an over hand right he will be able to hurt and knock out Silva if he is not totally prepared for this fight. Côté has power to hurt Silva and he will try to keep the fight on the outside up until he is ready to attack. When he does attack he will come in with strikes. He will dodge in and out until he is able to catch Silva. Unlike Silva, Côté is 100% focused on this fight. He has been training with Georges St. Pierre, Denis Kang and Muay Thai with renowned coach Mark DellaGrotte. He has also been training Brazilian Jujitsu with Fabio Holanda at BTT Canada. Côté will have some surprises for Silva and has the ability to land that lucky punch. Bottom Line: If this were a fantast league or any other type UFC prediction I would most definitely pick Silva to win this fight but I’m coming from a sports betting angle and as a UFC bettor I am always looking at mixed martial arts fights from different perspectives. To me it is not worth the -675 betting lines most online sportsbook are offering and the +450 underdog odds look good enough to bet on. Remember that you don’t have to bet a lot to make a lot of money so any 100 dollar bet will net you a hefty profit. That is of course if you have the funds to spare, otherwise I would stay clear for betting either side of the fight and more on to better wagers like the Thiago Alves vs. Josh Koscheck fight. This is a bet to stay clear from but if you are feeling adventurous lay a some bet on Côté. He does have what it takes to shock the world and I really think Anderson Silva is going to underestimate Côté and he will be caught with a looping over hand right hand. Every dog has its day and this will be Côté's. Lay a small bet for the biggest upset in MMA historyBet on the UFC at Bookmaker.com - Where The UFC Line Originates |
