Final thoughts…
Patrick Cote may be finished in the UFC. I hope that he gets another chance to fight, but with the loss and his year plus layoff due to bad knees, it may be time to call it a career.
Kimbo Slice will probably fight again in the UFC because he is so popular. The question is who would make a good opponent? Perhaps Big Country in a free tv fight?
Stout and Stephens earned Fight of the Night honors for their battle. Don’t you think that coupled with the split decision makes a rematch a no-brainer?
Paul Daley showed a lack of class following and then punching Koscheck way after the final bell rang. He should be fined and suspended. On the other end of the spectrum, Rua showed a ton of class by not punching and stepping back from Machida [even before the ref stopped the fight] because Rua knew Machida was out.
I’m glad I wasn’t betting on the fights tonight…
Heard Daley is out of the UFC for good. That was a dangerous precedent by Daley and has no place in a sport.
Hey Raf,
Dana White said that Kimbo and Daley are both through in the UFC. My guess is that Daley will be back at some point, if he continues to fight and win. I think that a fine and penalty are warranted, but a lifetime ban? That seems a bit harsh.
