New Blog: Cottagers Confidential for Fulham FC Fans!

MMAWeekly: You said you wanted to get back to the top of the middleweight division, and it would seem Dan Henderson would be great fight to put you there, given that Anderson Silva is fighting at light heavyweight in August and probably won’t be ready by early next year. How would you feel about facing Dan?

Cote: For sure. I respect Dan Henderson very much. I like his style; he’s a legend to me. If they gave me this fight, it would be a big honor for me. I think that could be a very, very good fight. We’ll be standing in front of each other and banging.

MMAWeekly: How would you approach that fight differently than Bisping? Henderson does have a great overhand right, but he also has top-notch wrestling, which you’ve struggled with in the past.

Cote: Maybe in the past, that was my weakness, but I think I showed in my fight with Ricardo Almeida that I’ve improved my wrestling. For sure, if I were to face Dan, I would do a lot of wrestling, but Dan Henderson’s a gamer, so I think he would want to fight with me on the feet and try to knock me out. I think he would want to be the first one to try and knock me out.

Cote is injured? Didn’t know that. In fact, I can’t seem to remember anything at all happening at UFC 90 – it’s been forcibly blocked from my memory due to boredom.
