That was an entertaining match. It was a different kind of match up. Anderson showed his phenomenal foot work and defense. Watched the replay several times now. Cote couldn't get him except for the couple of elbows while he was on the ground. Silva was able to dodge em like the "matrix." I dunno if people see it, but Silva was setting up the entire match. He laid so many bait and traps for Cote, but most he didn't fall for. The shit that he does confuses 99% of his opponents.
It could have very well been over in the first round for most fighters after the kick and knee to the head. The rest of the fight Silva was essentially playing mind games which is pretty awesome; helping hand, "Wing Chun" motion, Capoeria foot work then launches an attack out of nowhere with the lead left clocking Cote, letting his guard down etc. Basically he showed that Cote couldn't touch him. Third round Silva was in strike mode and ready to take him out. It's too bad...we may never know.
