UFC 90 Predictions Anderson Silva Vs Patrick Cote October 25 2008

Well another PPV and another good payout to those who read my predictions.  Last weekend I went 2-1 predicting the winners and the outcome to the Bisping and Lytle fight.  The only fight I missed was Vera vs Jardin.  Jardin came was a surprise to everyone with his new and improved ground game.   This weekend’s UFC PPV has a stacked fight card.  Fights featuring Sean Shrek, and Thiago Alves but main event is a title defense featuring the champion and best pound for pound fighter in MMA Anderson “The Spider” Silva vs Patrick “The Predator” Cote. “IT HAS BEGUN”

Sean “The Muscle Shark” Sherk (36-3-1) vs  Tyson Griffin (12-1-0)

Sean Sherk is coming off a devastating lost to BJ Penn.  Penn dominated Sherk in that last match and eventually losing by TKO.  Sherk just looked awful and very slow, he did not look like his once dominating lightweight champ.  He will be facing a younger fighter in Tyson Griffin.  Tyson Griffen is coming out of the Xtreme Couture camp, he his not an explosive fighter.  His last four wins lasted all three rounds winning by Unanimous decision.  Tyson also has a key win in 2005 versus the California Kid Urijah Faber. This match is pretty much even, both fighters have great wrestling and striking skills.  The only problem with Sherk is that he gets gased after the second round.  In his fight versus BJ Penn is was looked exhausted in the second round.  BJ Penn took advantage of his weakness and won in TKO.  I see Griffin taking advantage of Sherk’s weakness and take him to the ground in the 2^nd or 3^rd rounds scoring major points. 

Prediction: Tyson Griffin Unanimous Decision

Josh “Kos” Koscheck (13-2) vs Thiago “Pit Bull” Alves (21-4-0)

Josh Koscheck another TUF contestant is coming off a two fight win streak, beating Chris Lytle and Dustin Hazelett.  But he is coming off a long string of noteworthy fights with George St. Pierre and Diego Sanchez both matches lasted all three rounds.  Koscheck is taking on an explosive Thiago Alves.  He is coming off huge win against Matt Hughes.  Both fighters will start this fight trading kicks and punches.  Both fighters are very explosive and exciting to watch.  But the advantage will goto Alves, he is a more rounded fighter with excellent skills in jujitsu and kickboxing.  Alves loves throwing kicks and elbows.  Koscheck on the other hand has a fairly weak ground game and his strikes are mediocre.  His kickboxing skills are not as diverse as Alves, as Koscheck only has punch combos and very little punch and kick combos.  Thiago will dominate this fight taking it to the second round winning with a TKO kick to Koscheck’s head. 

Prediction: Thiago Alves TKO Knees and Kicks

Anderson “The Spider” Silva (22-4) -650 vs Patrick “The Predator” Cote (14-4) +350

There is really not much to say about this fight.  Anderson Silva is the best pound for pound fighter in MMA.  But! Sound the upset alarm!! Im going to pick Patrick Cote to beat Anderson Silva.  You guys may think Im crazy but Im not.  Anderson Silva has been dominating the UFC in two weight classes.  He has gone up and down classes just to beat up on fools.  Anderson Silva will come in to this fight too cocky and underestimate the skills of Patrick Cote.  Anderson will eventually get caught and catch a knee to the face.  Patrick Cote has excellent strikes his fights between Kendall Grove and Drew McFedries were all won by TKO punches.  This will be the second time I will be rooting for the underdog.  But hey what do I know, but I did predict that Rashad Evans will beat Chuck Liddell and I also predicted that Forest Griffin.  Just remember Rocky beat Ivan Drago in Russia in 1985. 

Prediction: Patrick Cote 3^rd round TKO Punches - Cote is paying +350 from Betus.com that will pay divends if he can score an upset.
