The UFC middleweight champion Anderson “The Spider” Silva will make his return at UFC 90 in Chicago. Silva will return to the middleweight division and defend his UFC middleweight belt against Patrick “The Predator” Cote. This championship fight will be available on pay per view and it will take place at the Allstate Arena.

The Chicago Sun Times was reported yesterday citing UFC President Dana White. The article quoted the Canadian Patrick Cote:

‘‘I’m telling all my friends to bet on me,’’ Cote said, ‘‘because they’re going to make a lot of money.’’ ……‘‘This guy will need 10 punches to my face to knock me out, and I’ll just need one,’’ Cote said. ‘‘I have a good chance. He won’t exchange with me, and I’m not scared of him.

‘‘He wins a lot of his fights before they start because his opponents are intimidated and scared of him. I’m not scared of anyone in my weight class, especially him.’’

Patrick Cote has been on a five fight win streak and he recently beat Ricardo Almeida at UFC 86. On the other hand, Anderson has yet to lose in the UFC (7-0) and most recently KO’d James Irvin in a light heavyweight match-up.
