The Main Event of UFC 90 ended in a unpredictable way. It looked like Anderson Silva was just toying with Cote for the first 2 rounds of the fight, but I think he respected Cote and was waiting for him to come in with wild punches so he could counter him. The Funny thing is Patrick Cote at the start of the 3rd round gave a smile while holding up 3 fingers basically addressing … [Read more...] about Anderson Silva Wins over Cote with a Freak TKO Injury

Seeing Kelly Pavlik go up just 10 pounds but looking slower then a Snail with his punches it makes one think maybe the same will happen to the … [Read more...] about Pacman or Fatman?
