4.5 Stars...They Can't All Be Perfect,

This review is from: Ultimate Fighting Championship, Vol. 90: Silva vs Cote (DVD)
This was one I was looking forward to. Main Event and Co-Main Event delivered a promise that this would be a night to remember. And it was! But that doesn't mean it was memorable entirely in a great way.
The Main Event featured a striker fan's dream match-up, or so it appeared. Anderson Silva, striker of all strikers, the best of the best, was to have his work cut out for him. That was because he was taking on Patrick Cote, a man who's never been knocked out, only submitted twice. And despite a split decision over Ricardo Almeida, Cote earned a shot against the man, Anderson Silva! The Co-Main event looked amazing as well. In the beginning, Diego Sanchez was set to go up against Thiago Alves, but injury said otherwise, prompting Diego to move down to Lightweight, like he'd been thinking about anyway. So to take the place of Diego Sanchez was Josh Koscheck. Koscheck's record speaks for itself. A man who was merely a wrestler in the original Ultimate Fighter has turned himself into one of the most well rounded match-ups in MMA. Could Koscheck take the stand-up of Alves? There were a total of 10 fights on this line-up. They are listed below Josh Burkman vs. Pete Sell: Burkman used to be a beast! Sell always comes to scrap. A good bout that goes to a unanimous decision. Hermes Franca vs. Marcus Aurelio: Teacher vs. student, and they don't like each other! Unanimous decision. Dan Miller vs. Matt Horwich: This is one great fight that all submission fans will enjoy time and time again! Unanimous decision. Spencer Fisher vs. Shannon Gugerty: Well, Gugerty won his first fight in the UFC. Is he good enough to play KING of the octagon? Great fight that ends with a submission in the 3rd. Thales Laites vs. Drew McFedries: Hmm...Drew wants to slug it out, Laites knows better, and in ends within a minute and a half! Sean Sherk vs. Tyson Griffin: Two wrestlers that LOVE to throw the hands! This went to a unanimous decision, and it wasn't fight of the night for nothing!!! Fabricio Werdum vs. Junior dos Santos: All I can say is WOW!! Check out this first round knock out! Rich Clementi vs. Gray Maynard: Hey, Clementi will fight anybody, but will Gray Maynard BULLY him around like he has his other opponents? A unanimous decision answers that question real quick! Thiago Alves vs. Josh Koscheck: Both fighters show they deserve to be there, but one of them earns a title shot for UFC 100! Unanimous decision...this is a great fight! Anderson Silva vs. Patrick Cote: This, unfortunately, is where a lot of fans said YUCK! Silva defended his title all right, but he didn't fight like he was fighting Rich Franklin or Dan Henderson. The ending sucked, and fans expected better. I hope Anderson Silva returns to greatness and stays the champion that UFC fans love. The DVD is great, the countdown is awesome, and like I said, MOST of the fights are worth it as well.

UFC 90 is a great venue, as long as you don't include the main event. Not that the main event was terrible, but sudden injuries always seem to ruin everything.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Good event, but not for the KO fans,

I'll just warn you guys up front: only four fights end early. However, that doesn't mean this DVD doesn't deserve a lot of consideration. The decision fights are all quite good, with the Clementi/Maynard fight being the sole exception. Otherwise, there were two blowout decisions, but the rest were extremely evenly matched. The card also features three of my all-time favorite fighters: Tyson Griffin, Junior dos Santos, and the GOAT, Anderson Silva. Them alone warrants a purchase. The fight card is:
Josh Burkman/Pete Sell-5/5 Hermes Franca/Marcus Aurelio-4/5 Dan Miller/Matt Horwich-5/5 Spencer Fisher/Shannon Gugerty-5/5 Thales Leites/Drew McFedries-4/5 Sean Sherk/Tyson Griffin-5/5 Fabricio Werdum/Junior dos Santos-5/5 Rich Clementi/Gray Maynard-3/5 Thiago Alves/Josh Koscheck-4.5/5 Anderson Silva/Patrick Cote-4/5 I will say this: the loser of the title fight at the end of the card deserved an immediate rematch after he healed.
