UFC Middleweight title fight: Anderson Silva (-675) vs. Patrick Côté (+475)
This mixed martial arts fight between the world's best pound for pound fighter Anderson Spider Silva (22-4) and Patrick "The Predator" Côté (14-4) will be a huge mismatch right? Not so fast. If they fought 20 times Anderson Silva would beat Cote with ease 19 of those times but I really believe Cote has a shot in this fight.
Don’t get me wrong, Silva is a much better fighter than Côté, but this is fighting and upsets do happen. Remember when Matt Serra shocked the world and knocked out Georges St. Pierre at UFC 69?
At -675 a Silva bet isn't worth the risk but I can't in good faith advise people to bet heavy on Côté, though a small wager might be the way to go.
It might sound crazy, but I think this will be Côté's day for a huge upset. Silva might be taking this fight lightly. I don’t think he has been training as hard for this fight as he should have and he has been. Instead he's been talking about retiring next year, fighting Roy Jones Jr. in a pro boxing match, and fighting Chuck Liddell at 205 pounds. He's talking about everything but Côté and it might be perfect timing for Côté to shock the world.
