Paul "the Alaskin Polar Bear" Varlans Is The Best Fighter That Ever Lived!!!
What was Joe Silva thinking when he put this one together?!.. one second the UFC had the fans thinking that Anderson Silva is the next big thing at LW to counter the Affliction card,but as soon as Randy Couture comes back they just start feeding him sheep like Patric Cote. I really don't think Cote earned a title shot.. i mean a split decision win over Almeida, a TKO over Drew who is .500 fighter, and a TKO over the most overrated fighter in the ufc (Kendal Grove).. which Jorge Rivera did the same thing a few cards later, and Rivera has not been top 20 since 2003.
Patric Cote's list of accomplishments is pretty short when you stack him up against alot of other fighters.

UFC had you thinking Anderson was the next big thing at LHW? what gave you that idea? When Anderson said in his post fight that his responcibility was to defend his title?
Who is your alternative middleweight for him? Who do you have as the middleweight number one contender?

well obviously his responsibility is to fight for his belt, he is the champion.. but he also said he wants the biggest fights possible, and a cote vs. anderson fight is not what he was refering to,you would think the best pound for pound fighter in the world would wanna make more money, but from marketing stand point they would rather throw rich franklins face in the lw gategory, and keep anderson the king-pin of middlewight.
but you know if affliction was more of a success then he would be fighting more at lw for ratings.
good thing marc cubans company is already gased.
and as for a middleweight contender.. patric cote does seem to have that slot, but i mean that shows how
little emphasis has been placed on that weight catogory.. im sure if they focused on some other fighters for there
fight nights.. any other middleweight could string together those wins.
i would have to go with yushin okami as the contender he has won 7-8 last fights, and overall a better record.
plus there is unfinished business between him and anderson.
-i like your response though man, tell me what you think about diego vs. alves???

So who (besides Okami who is injured) should get this title shot then? It's easy to shoot down a solution, much harder to come up with a better one.

if you search my posts for alves you'll see I've spoken quite a bit on the subject .
Cote is the number one contender who is able to fight. So Anderson has to fight him. Okami is injured. Anderson has to defend his belt as no one likes an inactive champion.
this card is all around amazing...even the undercard is like a mini FNL
as far as i'm concerned, silva vs. cote is just a lil icing on the cake....alves vs. diego could easily headline a ppv and sherk/tyson is worthy of a co main event...then you've got werdum fighting as well as goran/leites which is going to be really really fun
Alves vs Sanchez and Griffin vs Sherk will probably show us our 2 next contenders at WW and LW. Great fights.
Werdum should smoke a fool and still be overlooked.
Silva will give his many fans boners after killing Cote.
Goran vs Leites will probably end up being the best fight on the card,which is saying something.
yeh, that fight should have tons of wild striking and crazy aggressive sub attempts....i wasn't that impressed w/ Goran's skillset in his last fight...he pulled guard nicely, but overall, it was his heart and recuperative ability that drew me to him...Leites on the other hand seems to fall apart when he gets hit
