I gotta assume the stars of the show are gonna be Serra and Cote(and Shonie, just for being Shonie). But I was curious what your thoughts are on Jorge Rivera?

I've never heard Cote or Serra speak, which is a good thing - I don't know where you get they'll be the stars.

Rivera is the prototypical tough dude - if you take the day off against him, he'll beat you, but he'll never beat the top of the food chain.

I just mean Cote and Serra are most likely be the best two fighters on the show. I think Rivera is a sleeper though. Just wondering what people think of him.

I think Carter will be the funniest. Too bad Diaz is in it, that would have been funny as hell.

By the way...worst thread title ever. Your question was about Jorge Rivera but the topic was about Serra and Cote. As far as who the stars will be, who knows. Cote has never done well in the UFC and there are some great competitors at that weight class. Serra is obviously going to be one of the favorites, but I am still rooting for Mikey Burnett haha.

As far as Rivera goes, he is a solid fighter that really will always be a gate keeper. He is good all around and can take and give some solid punishment but he lacks that skill to be great. He has beaten guys like Louiseau but then lost to some less than stellar fighters. He plays to the level of competition he is facing and thats never a good sign. I don't see him winning, but he could get past the first round.

Shonie will be good for entertainment value.

Youre right, terrible thread title, I'll change it now. Sorry.
