Winner of Cote vs Almeida gets a title shot

iamdwalrus · 06-10-2008, 12:00 PM

UFC 86: JACKSON vs GRIFFIN | SATURDAY JULY 5TH

it's in the opening video.

I seriously hope Almeida wins because he'll give Silva hell on the ground.

IMO Cote really doesn't have a shot against either of them. Plus I think it would be a good fight between Almeida/Silva.

iamdwalrus · 06-10-2008, 12:53 PM

I'm still not sold on Silva actually earned being a bjj black belt since Big Nog gave it to him and they are friends, a brown belt maybe. Almeida is the real deal but I doubt a lot of people have heard of him let alone seen his fights.

I think Cote has a snowballs chance in hell of taking Silva... or even hanging with him for that matter.

It'd be like the Leben fight, but Cote is hard to finish so it might go 2 rounds at least.

I'm going with Almeida. He looked pretty good in his last fight, but I forgot who it was against?

he fought Robin Yundt. Almeida has a 7 fight winning streak against very tough opponents, in fact one of the guys he beat Misaki is the only one I can see beating Anderson.

cote has no chance on the ground with almeida. but i hope cote wins because almeida charges way to much at his school in new jersey....... J/K lol but it is a lot of money.

what do they charge per month there? Team Quest in Portland Oregon isn't too bad. $125 per month for unlimited classes. Pro's don't pay, but have to give up 20% of their purse (10% for management, and 10% to the gym).

don't quote me, but I think Eddie Bravo charges $250 per month

Hell, that's not bad at all for Team Quest.. I'd love to train w/those guys.
It's a team so 20% for pro's isn't even a bad deal, especially considering what your getting for that.

Team Quest South, down in Cali, charges a little more. I think $170 per month.

Even paying a regular membership (not being pro) is a hell of a deal. A lot of their pro's teach class. some of them will show up outside of pro practice, do BJJ and kickboxing rounds.

cipherkingtoo · 06-12-2008, 12:41 AM

almeida charges 200$ month. that just stupid. ive gone there acouple times for seminars but would never go there. but i guess if you want top noch instuction then you can pay that.

You dont need that type of schooling to become an elite fighter. The basics in Jiu jitsu is what you need and master them.Find a gym where the people who train there have the same goals as you. A good gym will bring in world class fighters from time to time. I teach and put SERIOUS emphasis on the basics, because thats what wins fights.

they have a bunch of guys from the IFL as instructors as well as Jeff Joslin and Hominick. For BJJ they charge $150/week 3 sessions 3 hours each. So that 300 bucks a month just for BJJ.

Do you mean $450 (4 weeks in a month)? either way, that's insane.

Matt Horwich, who you would probably know from the IFL teaches the majority of the Submission Wrestling (BJJ w/o gi) at Quest in Portland. He placed 2nd in the world at 185, at the first ever FILA World Wrestling Games in Turkey, and it doesn't cost any extra. Still just $125 per month for unlimited classes at Quest.

I find it amazing what some places will charge
