Former title challenger, “The Ultimate Fighter 4” runner-up and veteran middleweight Patrick Cote is a free agent.
Following a loss to Tom Lawlor this past weekend at UFC 121, the Canadian today confirmed via Twitter his UFC release.
“I had a little hope but (I) finally got the release word from the UFC,” wrote Cote, who suffered a unanimous-decision loss at the Oct. 23 event in California. “It’s been [an] awesome experience. I’ll be back.”
