Patrick Cote vs. Ben Saunders welterweight tilt added to UFC Fight Night 81

An intriguing welterweight collision is set to take place on the upcoming UFC Fight Night 81 mixed martial arts (MMA) card on Jan. 17, 2016.

Veteran combatants of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Patrick Cote (22-9) and Ben Saunders (19-6-2) will meet inside TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, according to Canadian outlet TSN.
