Too bad for "The Predator." I'm still a fan of his but the knee injury really seems to have screwed him, and his wrestling and ground game just don't seem to be enough. Good luck to Cote and maybe he'll be back in UFC or another big promotion soon.

There are definitely guys lower down at 185 that get preliminary card victories that Cote could almost certainly defeat. But I guess once you reach main-card status, UFC brass expects you to maintain that level of performance.
Keith Jardine comes to mind in the same situation. 4 losses in a row obviously means you get cut. But there are LHW's still in UFC that Jardine would beat.

The same is true in other sports. Veterans get cut to make room for rookies that don't make an immediate impact, but may prove to help the franchise in the future.

Still, I guess what I was trying to say is that just because Cote or Jardine get cut from the UFC doesn't mean they were the worst fighter in their weight class. They just were the odd man out.

I think there are three tiers of fighters allowed in the UFC: The World Beaters (those that can conceivably win a title), The Prospects (young guys that show a lot of promise), and The Entertainers (Sam Stout, Chris Lytle, Tom Lawlor, etc.) It's up to the the individual fighter to know where they rank and how to adjust their game to remain in these categories. Cote was long past a prospect and should have made the move from World Beater to Entertainer.
