Conduct all of your pre & post-fight discussion on this big middleweight fight as Canadian knockout artist, Patrick "The Predator" Cote, as he takes on the 2nd Degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & former Middleweight King of Pancrase, Ricardo "Big Dog" Almeida in HERE. Who will move one step closer to a Middleweight title shot with a victory in this fight? The banger from the Great White North, or the elite BJJ practitioner? By the way, ALL other threads WILL BE MERGED INTO THIS ONE.
Thanks guys,

Just saw the UFC Countdown.
And I must say Almeida seems like a genuinly really nice guy, he was so friggin humble.
I also think Almeida wins, I bet on sub round 2.

Almedia is the man. I hope he comes out get Cote and subs him. Actually I don't hope I'm pretty sure he will.

I've never seen a line change so much for a fight in recent memory than this one. Almeida is now a slight favorite.
All about if Cote can stop the take down in this fight. Or Almeida could screw up his whole game with fake shots and the like.

You have doubt about this fight? This is probably the easiest fight to pick on the card outside of Gonzaga/McCully.

I can agree with that given Cotes history with grapplers. Although he does have a decent punchers chance considering he probably hits the hardest in the middleweight division. You can never count a guy like him out.

There's always that chance that Cote could catch Big Dog, since Cote hits like a truck. I definitely think that Almeida will sub him, but man, I can also see him getting TKO'ed with strikes after being clobbered once. I am hoping my Ricardo ends up pwning the shit out of Patrick Cote.
