Not sure why he was never more popular. Personally, I really enjoy watching him fight and an very excited to see him come back vs. Le.
This fight will be exciting! War Coté!
I've always liked Cote. Granite chin and comes to fight. Noobs probably don't even know that he stepped up and fought Tito at LHW on four days notice.
In his first ufc fight no less
Allez Coté!
Really glad he's back in the UFC.
UGCTT_chuckles1 - Really glad he's back in the UFC.^

Always a fan, took some hard shots from Silva but kept trying to counter punch with him until his knee gave way.
Good to see Cote back.
def happy to see him back... Belcher has won me over as a fan, but at the time of the Cote/Belcher fight, I was def rooting for Cote under SYT.
i always found him very average
ranier wolfcastle - i always found him very averageHe is UFC material for sure.
He is still pretty young at 32, lots of time to improve.

We gotta sing it..COTE! COTE! COTE!... COTE COTE!! COTE COTE COTE COTE.. COTE COTE
Great fight. Cote deserves another UFC run.
B level fighter or not you can still admire his heart and fighting style. I think he has a lot to offer and can be in some great match ups!

I've been thinking about the poster who called Cote a B level fighter. It made me think, Cote lasted 3 rounds vs Anderson. Fight stopped due to injury. This was a fight where action was pushed and not stalled. I can put a list of guys who didn't last as long as core together and there's some really good guys in the group (A level guys):
Vitor
Franklin
Henderson
Forrest
Marquardt
In a land where Anderson Silva is an A level fighter, being a B level fighter isn't so bad. Always enjoyed Cote.
Cote will get the W
See, and I thought he was white this whole time, but those Canadians, they tricky.

Hahahaha, I take it you never watched Silva vs Cote? Anderson was only on the attack for maybe a minute or two that entire fight, and just seemed to be dancing around and toying with Cote. Put the Anderson who fought those other guys in the cage with Cote, and the fight would be over in a round or two,
GO COTÉ!
