(The beginning of the end for the Predator…)
From #1 contender to castoff in three fights — such is the fate of Patrick Cote, who confirmed today that he has been cut by the UFC following his decision loss to Tom Lawlor at UFC 121. As Cote wrote, "I had a little hope but finally got the release word from the UFC. Its been a awesome experience! Ill be back!!"
The TUF 4 middleweight finalist lost his first four official matches in the Octagon (including his TUF 4 finale fight against Travis Lutter), but then went on a monster run in 2007-2008 that saw him score five consecutive victories over Scott Smith, Jason Day, Kendall Grove, Drew McFedries, and Ricardo Almeida.

When I tracked him down after the event had wrapped up, he and his friends were just finishing up in a nearby skydiving simulator, during which one of his friends lost a tooth that had been superglued into his mouth after being knocked out. This was treated as a hilarious misadventure that everyone, including the loser of the tooth, seemed to enjoy.
Just another day in Mayhemland.
After he’d calmed down enough to form sentences, Miller agreed to go head-to-head with me in a prediction contest for UFC 121. Talk about an adrenaline rush.
With much of the MMA internet world still consumed with discussion about last Saturday’s ‘now that sh-t was crazy’ fight between Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen, you may have missed the war of words that’s heating up between Patrick Cote and Michael Bisping.

With much of the MMA internet world still consumed with discussion about last Saturday’s ‘now that sh-t was crazy’ fight between Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen, you may have missed the war of words that’s heating up between Patrick Cote and Michael Bisping. Apparently the growing drama all started recently when Cote stated in an interview with Fighters Only Magazine, that he wasn’t a “big fan” over Bisping and that further, he thinks the British fighter is “arrogant and over-rated.”
Naturally, when “The Count” was informed about the Canadian’s ‘assessment’ of him, he responded by saying that Cote was “two-faced” and that:
“Maybe all that horse meat has gone to his head. If he wants to try and make himself relevant again by trying to talk himself into a fight with me he can do, his time is his own. Personally if I was him I would spend it in the gym learning how not to get dumped on my head.”
Realizing they’ve got something real nice cooking (interesting verb choice considering the above line), Fighters Only got back to Cote yesterday, and here is some of what the slugger had to say in response to Bisping.
“And by the way, I only gave an answer to a question from a journalist, I didn’t attack him out of nowhere. This is life you know, you can’t love everybody. But if he wants to be this way, with cheap shots like the ‘horse meat’ and ’dumped on the head’, lets do it, he’ll finish second I swear!”
Both guys have other bouts lined up for the fall (Bisping with Yoshihiro Akiyama, Cote with Tom Lawlor) but hopefully Joe Silva’s keeping an eye on this.
