Was Anderson da Silva ever accused of disrespecting Cote?

Question

In a 2008 fight with Cote, Anderson da Silva was accused of disrespecting his opponent. I would like to know the reasons why Anderson da Silva was accused of this.

Answer 1

Anderson Silva did not deliver one of his typical performances against Patrick Cote at UFC 90.

Although he was winning the fight before Cote’s injury in the third round, the UFC middleweight champion was booed by fans for his evasive strategy and later he was even criticized by some for “disrespecting” his opponent.
