He used to be a middleweight, and Cerrone used to be a lightweight. This will be a stand up fight for most of the fight most likely. Cote's durability, pressure and his superior boxing will be the key.

Going to put more if the line shifts the other way.
 
Yeah Cote should be the favorite for sure. Thanks for the heads up.
 
I thought he'd be a slight favorite. Cerrone has more tools but Côte has more power, is bigger and has a hell of a chin
 
Although they have been fighting a different caliber of opponents over the last few years
Something to consider
 
You have to be stupid to bet on MMA at this point.
 
I tend to believe you based on how vulnerable Cerrone looked against a larger than usual opponent in Brazilian Cowboy during the standup, and Cote's grappling has improved over the years to the point where he should be able to fend Cerrone off.
 
Whatever about the weight, I think Cote is a much more talented fighter. Cerrone had some decent wins in his career but I've seen nothing from him that marks him out as any better than the good side of average.

The fights where he lost decisively are a mark of the man. Diaz completely took his soul in their fight, he just wasn't up for it. He'll always be a lamb to the slaughter against decent, confident fighters.
 
Nice post, I hadn't seen the line. It does look good on paper. One thing MMA betting has taught me, however, is that I don't know shit.
 
I don't know about being stupid if you don't bet, but I've definitely been eyeing this one for a few weeks
