One time UFC Middleweight Title challenger Patrick Cote will be moving from the middleweight division to the welterweight division. Cote has split both of his fights in his second UFC run, defeating Alessio Sakara and suffering a defeat to Cung Le. Cote was expected to compete in a rematch against Sakara at UFC 158, but Sakara is suffering from kidney issues and had to pull out of the fight.
