Patrick Cote’s Take On Anderson Silva Vs. Chael Sonnen.

Patrick-Cote


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.

Report: Mirko “Cro Cop” to Replace Injured “Minotauro” Nogueira vs. Frank Mir

If you’re a huge “Minotauro” Nogueira fan and have had September 25th marked down on your calendar, in anticipation of your boy getting another shot at Frank Mir, well, you may want to put the coffee down (or any other object that could be thrown courtesy a temper tantrum). According to a report from Fighters Only […]

If you’re a huge “Minotauro” Nogueira fan and have had September 25th marked down on your calendar, in anticipation of your boy getting another shot at Frank Mir, well, you may want to put the coffee down (or any other object that could be thrown courtesy a temper tantrum). According to a report from Fighters Only Magazine Nogueira has been forced to withdraw from UFC 119 due to an injury. In a follow up report from MMA Junkie, a source has confirmed with the outlet, that a rib injury has in fact punted the legendary heavyweight from the card.

So, for big time Nog fans this news has to be very disappointing, as Nogueira has consistently said that a serious staph infection and a messed up knee, were key reasons as to why he got absolutely pasted by Mir at UFC 92. Looks like Nog learned his lesson in terms of trying to fight through an injury no?

Now, the sh-tty news regarding Nogueira’s injury aside, Fighters Only is reporting that Mirko “Cro Cop” will step in to fight Mir at UFC 119. Our first reaction was ‘cool—wait—what?’ Now Cro Cop has clearly fought some of the best in the sport, and if he has indeed agreed to fight Mir then that’s awesome, but it wasn’t long ago we were hearing reports that he was humming and hawing about retirement. Now he’s stepping up against one the world’s best on 6 week’s notice? Guess he’s still looking to make a run.
