Pat looked great at 185, but all i think he is missing is pure physical strength; he gets taken down and reversed too easily. But his technique looks good and ofcourse his punches looked very sharp and powerful as hell. If he can manage to harden up his body abit (and I think he can do that when you consider how much of a better shape he is since his fight to tito) he can become a force at 185. Hope to see more of him. Even if you lost, congrats Pat on a great performance!!!
Cote is just the guy Riggs is looking to stand with. That would be a helluva of standup war.
or if murray could get his visa
Ya I was thinking that too Cup... that's another thing he'll have to work on. He had Joe stunned many times in the fight, and once almost out and couldn't finish. He needs to find his killer instinct.
I thought this was a great fight, showing a bit of everything that makes MMA great. Hope Cote comes back to the UFC. There was no shame in that loss, it was a war and Cote showed skill and some really heavy hands.
... must also add that not only were his hands realy heavy, but also quick and accurate (something rarely seen in MMA)
Yeah he was good but WHY did he play in Joe's guard after beating on him so well...I thought he was gonna make Joe stand up for sure.
Props to Doerksen though...showed heart and sweet takedowns.
Wish he had tried standing up more before Joe closed his guard. Maybe I missed something because I was drunk
Dirty showed amazing heart and grit. He toughed a hard fought win. COngrats.
Cote looked great. His standup was miles ahead of Doerksen. Doerksen however is incredible. His BJJ is among the best in the world and he caught Cote.
Cote vs Lawler - UFC, make it happen
cote looked good. hell be back again. i think some big thing from this kid. tito in your first ufc match is some big stuff. props to him. ithought he looked good though.
"Might be crazy but I think Cote could still drop a division. He looked great, but Doerksen looked alot bigger IMO"
Agreed, I was thinking the same thing. He did look surprizingly under sized at 185, even though he did drop down from 205. I don't think he'll ever make it to 170 though. Too bad theres not a 180 division or something like that.... but then that would turn into boxing with a million chazzillion and 1 weight classes.
Cote has horrid wrestling, he needs to work on it ASAP. He could be great.
We need Cote vs. Riggs.........it seems like a great match-up.
Cote is just the guy Riggs is looking to stand with.
- Or perhaps, Riggs can fight RJJ or someone. Im sure they'd "stand" with him.
Agreed bring both Cote and Riggs back and have tehm fight!
