After Patrick Cote recently injured his left hamstring during training for his October match at UFC 90 against Anderson “The Spider” Silva, UFC President announced today that The Batman, the silent protector and watchful guardian of Gotham City, will take a night off from fighting crime in back alleys to challenge the ‘baddest man on the planet.’ While Silva is widely considered the best ‘pound-for-pound’ fighter alive, it is speculated that Batman has trained in every fighting style known to man, in particular specializing in the Keysi Fighting Method. Vegas odds makers are unsure how to account for the Batman’s multiple attacking ranges when considering the betting line for the fight. One thing is for sure: fresh on the heels of his box-office success with The Dark Knight, Batman will be a crowd favorite. “We expect a lot out of this masked hero, whomever he is,” White said.
