I gave it a B-, the opening fight was a very solid F, Cote literally RAN from Smith the entire fight and then when he hurt him with a huge right hand, he ran up to him and did some spooky hand gesteres and made some noises. Then when asked by Rogan why he did that, he said he saw Smith's last fight and wanted to just stick to his gameplan which consurs...
Cote's gamelpan consisted of NOT LOSING, and not TRYING TO WIN as the sole purpose of a gameplan is to win the fight and not leave it to the judges, when you have someone hurt, that IS the gameplan, to hurt them, sub them, KO them, etc. not decison them.
I have seen enough of Cote and lost what little respect I had for him, sorry but runnign from a guy and then having him on the verge of a staoppage and making hand puppets and noises is just awful and shows what kind of show he wants to put on, a decision victory show just like Sylvia so save the 15 minutes (3 5 minute rounds) and put people that will actually fight to win adn fight to inflict great bodily harm upon one another on the cards.
Cro Cop, Rampage, Silva and Griffin vs Edgar saved the show but Edgar is a huge coward for grabbing hte fence on 3 seperate occasions when Griffin had him in a position to take him down and punish him, ultimately taking a ton of energy away from Griffin ad avoiding the takedown, he would've been yellow carded at least twice for that in Pride and possibly a 3rd time which would've resulted in a DQ.
