Patrick Cote wants 'big name' for his next fight, like UFC welterweight Nick Diaz

Longtime Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) veteran Patrick Cote has now won three consecutive fights -- including two straight by way of violent knockout -- and 10 of his last 12, so you can understand why "The Predator" is looking for a big name his next time out.

And from the promotional side, they don't get much bigger than Nick Diaz.

"There's a guy who's coming back in August, it's Nick Diaz," Cote told reporters in Boston. "I would be very happy to share the Octagon with him. He's a big name. I have nothing personal against him.
