In a post fight interview with MMACanada.net Patrick Cote expressed that he thought he got the best of Anderson Silva during their fight at UFC 90. Here is a quote from Cote.
“I was in the best shape of my life, I was ready to go and I think that I proved to everybody that this guy’s not unbeatable. I think I f***ed him up really bad. My game plan was good and I think he was scared to exchange with me. I received all his best punches and all his best knees and I was still there”
Well, I watched the fight and at no point did Cote F**K Silva up. He threw more punches and kicks in the first round, but there was no ass kicking to bee seen from either fighter. I will admit that Cote took a couple good shots from Silva in the second round. However, in my opinion, it really looked like Silva was holding back the entire fight. To say that he took Silva’s best shots is definitely debatable.
