Bill “The Butcher” Mahood’s opponent has now been set. He will be fighting TKO Champion and UFC veteran Patrick “The Predator” Cote for the KOTC Canadian Lightheavyweight Title. Mahood and Cote are both UFC veterans, the first time Cote won via knockout... What will happen the second time? Cote is coming off 2 losses in his previous two fights in the UFC and is 1-3 in his last four fights. However, he did fight Tito Ortiz, Joe Doerksen and Chris Leben in those three fights. He is the current TKO light heavyweight champion and trains with Georges St. Pierre. The card is coming together and so far looks like this.

John “The Natural” Alessio (Vancouver) vs. Joey Villasenor (California)

KOTC would like to thank Stephane Patry, President of TKO for bringing us Mr. Cote. This should be a great fight.
