Cote was originally slated to fight at UFC 158 against Alessio Sakara in a rematch of their bout at UFC 154 that ended in a disqualification. Unfortunately, Sakara suffered an injury and was forced out of their bout.

That change of plans allowed Cote the time to make a decision that’s been in his mind for the past 12-months.

“We’ve been thinking about it since about a year now. I think now it’s the time,” Cote told MMAWeekly.com on Tuesday. “I was a pretty decent middleweight a couple years ago, but now those guys are really, really big. They’re cutting from like 230, 225, and I’m walking around at 205 so I spoke with my coach and my nutritionist and it’s doable so we’re going to do it.”

Smart move, Cote has looked a little flabby recently.

Only thing is WW is full or wrestlers and that seems to be Cote's weakest area. But I think he matchups up favorably vs someone like Kampmann since he has an iron jaw and decent power and he should be able to keep it standing vs Kamp.

Kamp owns him on the feet.

I agree, but what I'm saying is Kamp can pepper him all day and Cote's chin will hold up. But Cote has enough power to hurt Kamp. I think he has a better shot to catch Kamp then he does vs most wrestlers in the division.

I don't think Cote is aggressive enough to give Kampmann trouble.

You think it would be like Cote vs Le? Cote still has power to finish and the chin to survive.
