UFC next in line for a title shot heavyweight striker Junior dos Santos will face the winner of the upcoming championship bout between Brock Lesnar and Cain Velasquez after his three round pummelling of Roy Nelson. Dos Santos was recently asked by Tatame about his thoughts on UFC 117 as a whole and he made an interesting comment regarding American wrestlers and their technique:




The event itself was excellent, but unfortunately there were Brazilian defeats. The Americans are good on what they do, they have a good Wrestling technique and they take you down and stay there forever, getting theirs points and winning their fights. It’s a boring fight, but it’s an efficient game they have. Let’s look forward now… Unfortunately Rafael dos Anjos got hurt on the first round, but we have to move on.

Junior has shown that he’s got some quick hips and a very good takedown defense. Add that to his lethal striking and he could give either Lesnar or Velasquez problems and should make for a very interesting fight. The MMA News can’t wait.

Verbal War Between Patrick Cote and Michael Bisping Continues

With much of the MMA internet world still consumed with discussion about last Saturday’s ‘now that sh-t was crazy’ fight between Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen, you may have missed the war of words that’s heating up between Patrick Cote and Michael Bisping. Apparently the growing drama all started recently when Cote stated in an […]

With much of the MMA internet world still consumed with discussion about last Saturday’s ‘now that sh-t was crazy’ fight between Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen, you may have missed the war of words that’s heating up between Patrick Cote and Michael Bisping. Apparently the growing drama all started recently when Cote stated in an interview with Fighters Only Magazine, that he wasn’t a “big fan” over Bisping and that further, he thinks the British fighter is “arrogant and over-rated.”

Naturally, when “The Count” was informed about the Canadian’s ‘assessment’ of him, he responded by saying that Cote was “two-faced” and that:

“Maybe all that horse meat has gone to his head. If he wants to try and make himself relevant again by trying to talk himself into a fight with me he can do, his time is his own.  Personally if I was him I would spend it in the gym learning how not to get dumped on my head.”

Realizing they’ve got something real nice cooking (interesting verb choice considering the above line), Fighters Only got back to Cote yesterday, and here is some of what the slugger had to say in response to Bisping.

“And by the way, I only gave an answer to a question from a journalist, I didn’t attack him out of nowhere. This is life you know, you can’t love everybody. But if he wants to be this way, with cheap shots like the ‘horse meat’ and ’dumped on the head’, lets do it, he’ll finish second I swear!”

Both guys have other bouts lined up for the fall  (Bisping with Yoshihiro Akiyama, Cote with Tom Lawlor) but hopefully Joe Silva’s keeping an eye on this.
