Report: Patrick Cote targeting UFC 121 return in Anaheim

Former number one middleweight contender, Patrick Cote, will reportedly return to the Octagon at UFC 121 on October 23 in Anaheim, California, according to MMACanada.net.
An opponent has yet to be determined.
Cote made his first appearance inside the cage after nearly 20 months on the sidelines to tangle with Alan Belcher at UFC 113 from the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on May 1.
It did not end well.
"The Predator" was submitted by "The Talent" after a controversial piledriver left him stiffer than a frozen mukluk. It was Cote's first bout since shredding his knee while inside the Octagon opposite reigning division champion Anderson Silva at UFC 90 way back in October 2008.
The "Spider" bout resulted in a technical knockout loss for the Canadian, which he feels may have gone his way if the freak accident never happened. The 185-pound class is now teeming with possible title contenders, making his road back to the summit more than likely a long and difficult one.
Cote underwent major ACL knee surgery following his loss to Silva and then again in late summer 2009 to repair a damaged MCL (in the same knee).
To put it bluntly, he's got his work cut out for him, but if you're going to make an impression, UFC 121 is probably the best place to do it.
Headlined by Brock Lesnar vs. Cain Velasquez, the Oct. 23 pay-per-view will also feature the Octagon debut of Jake Shields when he takes on Martin "The Hitman" Kampmann.
Stay tuned to MMAmania.com for more information on Cote's opponent as it becomes available.

any guesses on who his opponent will be?
I like the feeling of hunting down what I feed my family. If there’s a beast out there capable of hunting down Brock Lesnar, he would do it and make me the trophy on his den wall. But the laws of nature dictate that I’m going to be the one who goes into the wild and comes home with the evening’s bounty. - The #1 ranked HW in the world...
Cote has a lot of work in front of him
He loses 4 straight; then wins 4, has a knee fail against Silva, and gets piledriven by Belcher leading straight to a submission loss. Wow, he needs to rethink a lot of his strategies going into the next fight. And damn it all I got Banned by BE.
to be honest ive never been overly impressed with Cote
I would like to see Leben/cote at some point tho

Agreed
Leben-Cote would be nice. Cote-Franklin wouldn’t be bad, but Cote probably needs some wins first.

franklin is at 205 now.
Cote/McFedries would be fireworks, too.

oh damn you’re right. Yeah McFedries would be nice. I didn’t even know he was still in the UFC.

I may have lumped him with everyone else.
UFC went on a cutting spree that he got lost in the bunch in my mind. Obviously I err’d
Cote / Mcfedries also already happened. Do you people ever watch MMA or just post randomly on websites?

Actually now that you mention it, Cote / Rivera happened on TUF 4 w/ Cote getting the W. I don’t see a rematch happening anytime soon since Cote has dropped 2 and Rivera just won 3 straight.

Let jorge smash him in their "rematch" (if you want to call it that)
and send him packing.

jorge has some heavy hands! but thats about as for as it goes with him
his next fight is against sakara, should be entertaining but i think sakara with his incredibly small head gets KTFO
Please don't ever let Carwin fight Big Nog! It would result in death
Can't decide who I hate more, Penn or Edgar
Jorge/Sakara is great match-up!!
Alessio is the much more technical striker. Should be good

by SouthCaliStunNa on Jul 20, 2010 7:54 PM EDT up reply actions
true
but he has always seemed to have problems with heavy hitters like leben, alexander and mcfedries
I think it will be the same outcome as them 3 matches although he has had a good run of late
Please don't ever let Carwin fight Big Nog! It would result in death

I don't.
I think Alessio today beats a brawler like Houston with ease.. It’s obvious to me that Alessio has come a long way since his boxing days, cause a couple years ago against houston,leben,mcfed he’d think he was in a boxing match and he used to stay in the pocket way too long and came at his opponent with 5 punch combo’s and stuff like that, you can’t box like that in MMA and the gloves are too small to cover up your face.
so in his last couple of fights he’s been moving around and kept it basic, 1-2’s and movement and he needs to keep following that strategy cause his technique and hand speed really pays off that way..
the beauty is in the attempt !
Leben and Cote already fought, w/ leben winning a decision.

Cote doesnt deserve Leben and def not Franklin.

Doesn’t deserve Leben? C’mon, two fights ago he was fighting for a title.

Leben wins a couple fights in a row and all of a sudden he's too good to fight Cote?

You suck, pal.
LOL
He’s not champion material but he doesn’t suck. He could have some exciting and competitive fights with a lot of the guys in the MW division right now. He’ll be around for a while because Canadians LOVE him. Same goes for Bisping, Stout..

Cote didnt deserve that title shot
but he’s definately better than Leben.

exactly
cote would have lost too both simpson and akiyama as well
by Lester The Pimp on Jul 20, 2010 7:25 PM EDT up reply actions
Cote lose to Simpson? I dont think so. You crazy.
Simpson sucks.
Akiyama on the other hand, would be a great matchup against Cote.
Using no way as way, having no limitation as limitation.
he might be a more technical striker but lebens got the better power imo and the better ground game.
Curious as to how you think they stack up against each other
I dont think Leben's got more dynamite than Cote.
Cote’s power + technique = KO
Leben’s power + flailing arms = Getting KO’d
Ask Anderson Silva.
Using no way as way, having no limitation as limitation.
you make a very valid point. His style definatley tends to leave him open for some big shots.
However if were gonna turn this into an mma math style deal (which you might not be implying at all)
cote lost to belcher who lost to akiyama who lost to chris leben.
for the record i believe mma math is just bs anyway.
I wouldnt even be surprised if we saw the leben who beat jay silva with the takedowns
canadians love bisping. that is news to me?
I'm all about covering the spread and moneylines. Glory favors the bold. Chance favors the prepared mind. Luck, well i have that too. University of Utah goes to the Pac-12 conference in 2011. I expect them to compete immediately for the conference CG. I still will always follow the Mountain West Conference. Brock Lesnar will defeat Cain Velasquez and face the winner of Junior Dos Santos vs Roy Nelson where he will defeat JDS and stake his claim as pound for pound champion. Womens MMA, the next big thing in sports. 45 days and counting to the first game of college football. UTAH vs Pitt. September 2nd 2010.

I'm a fan for sure.
Because I’m Canadian maybe I understand the British humour and douchiness a little better than Americans. I also think a lot of people hate him for the Hamill stuff on the show, but I actually thought Hamill was the douche on the show and Bisping had a valid reason for not liking him. Not every fighter is going to get along. Bisping just happened to not like the deaf guy, which I think brought on a lot of hate directed at him. That’s just my take on it anyways.
Myth: Three Americans die every year from rabies. Fact: Four Americans die every year die from rabies.
i think it has to do with that bullshit decision bisping got over hammil in england
that stirs up an immense dislike for bisping. how many gifs were there after henderson knocked him out? alot. i like canadians but bisping english accent is pretty bad. he would be funny in a benny hill skit if mr hill was still around.

Wolfman
I meant that Bisping will always be there because of where he’s from. But A lot of Canadians do like Bisping. He got a great reception when he fought here.

i actually think his footwork has gotten alot better since the henderson fight
i’ll give him that.

They banned me for saying:
15 monkeys in a hall closet could write a better synopsis than Snowden. i wrote that after he ragged on the Shields signing with UFC. I guess I got too defensive for Shields. So much for being a retarded fanboy; oh well. : P
i liked that comment. There was absolutely no reason for Snowden to take that fucked up perspective.

Thing is>>>
He takes a position that is completely opposite of at least 80% of the posting community. Gets a reaction and then whines when people critic his writing, his postions and his thinking. Its like your trolling for a reaction but when you get it you get mad. Its a Paradox.
What did he say?
If he criticised the UFC for signing a quality fighter in Shields or Jake for leaving a company that did little to promote him and had commentators insult him and his skills for the top promotion in MMA then the guy is talking absolute nonsense.

They already fought
Leben won.
Conan : You are known as a striker. Is that correct? Tell me what that means.
Chuck : Well I like to punch people, or kick them.

Hmmm...I like this
They have been saying Harris needs a bigger fight and I think this would be a good match up. I also think if he comes in with that stupid stance Cote would knock his block off.

yea flyers were pretty awesome in the playoffs.
the mix between skill and physical play in Ducks is perfect and that’s why i like them so much. Detroit has to be my least favorite team, they play like pussies.

“Headlined by Brock Lesnar vs. Cain Velasquez, the Oct. 23 pay-per-view will also feature the Octagon debut of Jake Shields when he takes on Martin “The Hitman” Kampmann."
Brock, Shields and Cote all on the same card? This is gonna be one of the biggest events EVER. Can’t wait.

lol i know your affection for Cote
but being one of the biggest cards ever (i guess) doesnt have much to do with Cote.
itll be cool seeing him live tho, he always goes out for a KO

Cote was beating Belcher
That second round he had Belcher reeling.
He went in for that stupid double leg, I guess it was because he had broken his hand or something.
I think Cote is game though, I don’t see him fighting for a title again any time soon.
Shogun lost a close decision! Everyone get crazy!
Wonderful.
