Belcher vs. Cote at UFC 113

Not sure how reliable the source is, but got it off Sherdog http://topmmanews.com/2010/01/12/patrick-cote-vs-alan-belcher-signed-for-ufc-113/

Anyways good fight, thought it would be Franklin/Cote, but I'd rather see this fight and Rich fight someone else, Bisping? scratch that forgot about the Wandy fight?

Belcher is ranked in the top 10 after he wins this fight

Franklin-Akiyama?

I love Belcher and although cote is good I think Alan is catching him at the right time coming off the injury.

103 huh?

fixed the title for you

Belcher is on a tear lately and looks to me to be doing some sort of steroids that he can get away with, while Cote hasn't fought in forever. We have seen what knee injuries have done to Shogun, Kid Yamamoto, Carson Palmer and others, it could take over a year to get back to full speed for Cote, while Belcher has all this momentum.

Belcher TKO. Although Cote has the kind of one punch power that most of the LHW division even lacks, so ya never can tell...

Both Cote and Belcher are MW. Also I wouldn't really say that Belcher is on a tear. He was less than stellar against fighters like Jason Day and Ed Herman. If he does win it wouldn't be by (T)KO. Cote has never been knocked out in his career.

I said he has power that most of the LHW division even lacks, which meant that he has power better than a class above him.

I say TKO because of the knee injury lay off and the likely hood of gassing out and wilting under the pressure. No would would have thought Shogun would have lost so badly to Forrest, and by the end of that fight a TKO was just as plausable as a choke when he was all but finished anyway, and Kid had never looked so rockable until after his lay off due to injury either.

Belcher subs him, and thanks Farm

i'll take Belcher here.
