It looks like the "Predator" will do his stalking in the UFC for the foreseeable future. Patrick Cote has signed a new four-fight deal with the promotion, as confirmed to MMAWeekly.com on Monday by sources close to the negotiations.
Cote has been out of action since an October 2008 loss to UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva. The Canadian blew out his knee in the third round, forcing a stoppage in the title fight.
Currently rehabbing and waiting for clearance from his doctors, Cote has one less thing to worry about now that he knows for the immediate future he will continue to call the Octagon his home.
"I want a big fight right away. I want a top five or top ten guy," said Cote when speaking to MMAWeekly Radio in late April about his return fight. "I already say that to the UFC management. They say they are able to do it. They are going to give me a top guy, for sure."
While nothing is set in stone for his official UFC return, all signs are pointing towards a possible bout in October at the show announced for the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Oct. 24.
When Cote spoke to MMAWeekly Radio he commented that within a few months he hoped to get back to training full speed. He will resume his fight camps splitting time between Montreal and Mark DellaGrotte's Sityodtong camp in Boston.

Cool. I'm not the guy's hugest fan, but I believe he's underrated. He was actually doing decent against A. Silva until his knee gave out. Most people gave him a bunch of crap, but he got my respect.
He'll never be a big draw in the USA, but he pulls in quite a crowd in Canadia.

Great news. I think Cote is one of THE most undereated fighters in the UFC. He looked the best against Anderson compared to Anderson's most recent opponents. I definitely think he deserves a rematch, and will train his ass off to win that fight.
He's born on the same exact day as me too, Feb.29,1980, WEIRD

Hey Dent, I have a question for you. My buddy asked me for an invite to mma-torrents.com when he saw me add the facebook group. He's a huge mma fan and is sick of bestmmatorrents and tang-soo-do, and I've told him mma-torrents rules anyways, so he asked me for an invite. I went to see if I had any in my profile and it said that I had to either donate or PM an admin. Seeing as I'm I currently have no credit cards (or flow for that matter!) lol, I was wondering if you could maybe send me one. It would really be appreciated. I'll make sure he seeds forever, don't worry! Thanks brother
