SUMMARY:Ultimate Fighting Championship 90: Silva vs. Cote
DESCRIPTION:The UFC® makes its historic first trip to Chicago this fa
	ll\, bringing the World's greatest pound for pound fighter\, Anderson 
	"The Spider" Silva\, for a middleweight title fight against his number
	 one contender\, Patrick "The Predator" Cote. UFC 90: Silva vs. Cote w
	ill be live from the Allstate Arena On Saturday\, October 25\, 2008. \
	n\n \n\n"Anderson Silva once again showed why he’s the greatest poun
	d for pound fighter in the world when he moved up to light heavyweight
	 and destroyed James "The Sandman" Irvin\,” said Dana White \, UFC P
	resident.  “Now he drops back down to middleweight to defend his wor
	ld title against Patrick Cote\, a fighter on a four-fight win streak w
	ith a style that guarantees an incredible fight\, wherever it goes. Th
	ere is no better way to introduce Chicago to the UFC than with the cha
	mpionship fight Anderson Silva vs. Patrick Cote."\n\n  \n\nIt took Sil
	va (22-4) just 61 seconds to defeat his last opponent\, James "The San
	dman" Irvin at UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas July 19\, but that is par 
	for the course for "The Spider"\, who burst on to the UFC scene two ye
	ars ago.  His list of victims started with a devastating knockout of C
	hris Leben in June 2006.  He followed that up with two TKOs over Rich 
	Franklin\, a submission win over Travis Lutter\, a TKO over Nate Marqu
	ardt and a second round submission over PRIDE 183-pound champion Dan H
	enderson.  Silva\, considered by most to be the most dominant force th
	e UFC middleweight division has ever seen\, now faces number one middl
	eweight contender Patrick "The Predator" Cote.\n\n \n\n"It's an honor 
	to be fighting Patrick Cote in the first UFC event ever in Chicago\," 
	said Silva.  "I'm excited to take on Cote\, but I am taking him very s
	eriously\; he is a dangerous striker and he likes to stand and trade w
	ith his opponents.  That's the kind of fight fans like to see\, and th
	at's definitely the fight we're going to give them Oct. 25."\n\n \n\n 
	\n\nCote\, (14-4) fighting out of Montreal\, Quebec\, Canada\, is on a
	 four fight win streak in the Octagon™\, beginning his string of exc
	ellence back in February of 2007 with a decision win over Scott Smith 
	at UFC 67. Six months later\, he TKO'd Kendall Grove in the first roun
	d at UFC 74\, and followed that up with a first round TKO over and Dre
	w McFedries at UFC Fight Night in January 2008.  But it was his most r
	ecent victory\, a pivotal win over Ricardo Almeida at UFC 86 on July 5
	th that propelled him to number one contender status.  Now Cote has th
	e opportunity to join countryman Georges St-Pierre as a current Canadi
	an UFC titleholder by taking out reigning champion Silva at UFC 90.\n\
	n \n\n"Everybody that fought Anderson Silva was scared of him\; I'm no
	t scared of him one bit\," said Cote.  "It's gonna take him 10 straigh
	t punches to take me down - I only need one punch to take him down.  I
	'm Patrick Cote\, I win against grapplers and I knock strikers out. I 
	can't wait to go to Chicago and take the belt home to Montreal." \n\n
