What A Night!

Well what did youu all think of that one? I think we can all agree that Mr Sean Sherk is back, another performance like that one and he will get a rematch against BJ. Junior Dos Santos is for real, :80 seconds after the first bell and a victory in the UFC is his! I heard he trains with Anderson Silva and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira...I just wonder if "Stanky" is his striking coach!

Anderson Silva- wow we saw a fighter take him past the second round only to blow ouut his knee early in the third. Silva never engaged like in the past keeping his distance and sizing up Cote's stance. Give Cote credit he switched stances almost each he threw/blocked a strike. I would assume Mark Dellagrotte at Sityogtong is to think for that. Silva looked relaxed and calm, almost like this was a sparrring match; a testament to his confidence-not an underestimate of his opponent. He had one leg kick in the 2nd round which spun Cote around completely. Other than that he danced "capoeria" style just outside of Cotes reach.

Thiago Alves looked very impressive once again in his decision over Josh Koscheck. I hope they put him in the ring with St Pierrre soon, it will be a War!! In fact I think Alves is really the only legitemate contender in the Welterweigt division. I think this fight holds more pertinence tan the Penn-St Pierre Superfight or the proposed "catch weight" St Pierre-Anderson Silva match up. Dana White, I mean Mr Dana White please make it happen!
