CHICAGO – Patrick Cote sat back at Thursday’s UFC 90 press conference as the others fielded most of the questions.
His boss, Dana White, was asked if UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva could contend for the light heavyweight title. White said Silva is two wins away from such a scenario.
Silva was asked if he felt he could go down to welterweight and face champion Georges St. Pierre. Silva said he felt he couldn’t make the cut, and that St. Pierre should jump up a weight class to make it happen.
On and on went the questions about the future of the world’s No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter.
But Cote (13-4) is the roadblock in the champ’s immediate path. On a five-fight win streak, the Quebec City native will challenge Silva in the main event of Saturday’s card at the Allstate Arena in nearby Rosemont.
