Noke V Cote, TUF Nations!


The next installment of the The Ultimate Fighter "Australia" Is a deal done!
UFC President Dana White confirmed rumours announcing that TUF Nations Australia Vs Canada has found their coaches and will consist of Welterweight all round, With  Kyle 'KO' Noke heading up the Aussies against charismatic Canadian Patrick "The Predator" Coté.

Coté having fought most of his career at middleweight until dropping down to welterweight recently goes into  TUF with over 10 years experience, an being a competitor of TUF himself makes him the perfect candidate to lead the Canadians.

Although there's been plenty of kinks in the chain of his lengthy career, On more than one occasion unusual referee involvements and reverse decisions, something Coté would not be proud of.  kicking of a 0-4 record in the UFC before turning it all around and getting a shot Anderson Silva back in 2008 where he was forced to withdraw during the fight as he suffered a knee injury it seems Coté has never been back to his TOP Winning ways of prior to his Silva fight.
Members of Mma Aus Witnessed first hand Coté's Welterweight Debut at UFC 158 against Bobby Voelker, in which he scored a unanimous decision victory, it was no memory bank material fight and the home town crowd (more like judges) of Montreal Quebec may have played a part.
With Canada having produced arguably the top MMA Trainer/coach Firas Zahabi of TRISTAR Gym the talent is phenomenal within Montreal alone, so expect to see a Zahabi prospect competing on the show or even joining the Predators coaching team.

Aussie Aussie Aussie, Noke Noke Noke. You can't get a more True Blue bloke then Kyle 'KO' Noke, the former personal security guard of Aussie legend Steve Irwin.
Noke much like Coté has been in the scene for a little over 10 years starting out as a Welterweight, moving up to Middleweight for a while, before dropping back down an sharpening up, he looks to have found his destiny in his original division. His actions do the talking, in his return to Welterweight he made quick work of Charlie Brenneman at UFC 152 with a TKO victory inside the first minute. Which Noke credits to joining Jackson's/Winkeljohn's MMA team in Albuquerque, New Mexico, another Top MMA Coach/Trainer's gym.
With that Talent within the borders of our Nation growing, Australia will gain even more attention when some of the toughest and smartest Welterweights look to grab a spot on Team Australia.

When Noke Vs Coté grace the octagon, Egos Testosterone an Pride will be boiling up inside, with both sitting middle picking in the Welterweight Division a Win is crucial! Lets hope it heads down to Aussie shores with the Finale Scheduled to be early 2014, following the airing of the show.
