“I will be back in the gym fully training in three weeks or so…. I want to fight someone in the top-five or top-10…. I want Alan Belcher or the winner of Rich Franklin vs. Wanderlei Silva…. I would love to fight Vitor Belfort if he came to the UFC.”

I would be happy with any one of those fights, Cote/Belcher would be the most logical, but all 3 would be good stand up fights...
Although i have read that some people aren't happy with all the recent ko's.... :?

Maybe, but Belcher's not top 5.

Exactly.

COTE WULD STEAMRALL THA WINNA OF FRANKLIN/SILVA DOOD!
Just playing, but in all seriousness I would love for Cote to get a warmup fight like Alan Belcher first then if he wins he earns the right to face a top contender and so on.
He was screwed in that title fight with Anderson though, he was doing well surprisingly and should deserve a rematch. He probably would have lost a decisive decision the way it was going but still.

You know he was losing in pretty much every aspect to Dennis Kang, who is also well known for having mental lapses causing him lose. While he won the stand up against Ed Herman, and even though i wanted Belcher to win, i personally thought he lost the last 2 rounds...
and that was against ED HERMAN. :lol:
I like Belcher, but he's at least good 3 Win's away from being a top 5'r.

Cote would KO Belcher and get TKO'd by Franklin. He has a good chance of landing a good one on Wandi's chin the way he's been performing lately. I think he should have a much easier tune up fight before he fights anyone in the top five, (oh screw it, give him Belcher,) or what's left of Wandi after Rich does a stand-up clinic on his face!!!

Cote will most likely not get a fight with Belcher because of this:

As much as I would love to see Franklin ruin Cote, I don't think it'd happen. Franklin is working on becoming a top LHW fighter, so tooling Cote is a pretty big step backwards for him. I think Wanderlei, Belcher, Gouveia, and Palhares are decent choices for him.
