Anderson Silva vs. Patrick Cote

The fight was for the UFC middleweight title with Silva defending.
Cote came out throwing kicks towards the legs as Silva sized him up, and the fighters continued circling. Cote dodged forward and caught Silva with a jab soon and seemed to piss Silva off. Silva threw an inside leg kick, his first real offensive activity of the fight, and Cote checked the kick. They clinched. They broke. Silva began opening up with a few kicks to the legs and body, and Cote responded in kind. At one point, as Cote was pushing forward in this manner, Silva dodged a combination and landed a teep to the chin and a knee to the forehead but Cote kept coming. Cote was cut on his forehead about this point, most likely from the knee. They simply circled around and around with thirty seconds remaining. Silva landed a few kicks to end off the round.
Silva was a bit more offensive, landing a few kicks and a spinning back kick before clinching. The clinch broke and Silva landed a big kick. They exchanged strikes, Silva landed a leg kick, and then a body kick. Cote went for the takedown, Silva avoided, Cote ended up on the bottom and pulled guard. Cote threw a few very good elbows from the bottom and the crowd roared. He tried to roll into an armbar. Silva stood up, throwing lazy kicks towards Cote. Herb Dean asked him to let Cote up and Silva offered his hand. Silva touched gloves with Cote and the fight was restarted once more. Cote leaped forward. It seemed as if he had twisted his ankle when he missed the strike after the lunge. Silva went for a low leg kick and Cote grabbed it and went for the takedown. Silva twisted out of it and they began circling once more. Silva tried the kick again, Cote caught it again and he backed Silva up against the cage with that manipulation. In the last few seconds of the round, Silva turned the clinch around and threw hard knees to the body to end off the round.
Cote threw a jab that landed early to start off the third round and then a leg kick. With four minutes and thirty-three seconds of the round remaining, Cote went for a kick and collapsed. His ACL in his knee had blown out apparently. He tried to limp back to the fight but Herb Dean told him that the fight was over. Anderson Silva won the fight.
