Patrick Cote has already fought and lost to UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva so his thoughts on the UFC 117 main event bout between Silva and then number one contender Chael Sonnen are interesting to say the least. Cote looked good in the match against “The Spider” but suffered a knee injury that left him unable to continue to fight and since then he’s lost to Alan Belcher as well. Cote recently talked to BuddaSport and here’s his take on Silva Vs. Sonnen:
It’s more about the Chael performance we have to talk. He kept an incredible pace and had a really good gameplan. Unfortunately, he got cut in the 5th round. I’m not really even a fan of Sonnen.
Cote is set to take on Tom Lawlor at UFC 121, and with another loss there’s a chance that “The Predator” could be looking for another job. Still Cote has shown that he can hang with the middleweight big boys, but the question will be whether Cote will return to the form that made him number one contender almost two years ago.
