UFC Fight Night 74 results: Patrick Cote flattens, then finishes, Josh Burkman for first time ever

Patrick Cote finished Josh Burkman in the third round of their highly-entertaining Welterweight battle at UFC Fight Night 74 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, earlier tonight (Sun. Aug., 23, 2015)

"The Predator" dropped Burkman with a right hand before finishing him off with strikes on the ground inside SaskTel Centre, handing Burkman the first technical knockout of his career.

The official time came at 1:26 of round three.

The welterweight contest between the two 35-year-old veterans began with Burkman throwing side kicks at Cote, and the Canadian failing on a takedown attempt. "The People's Warrior" connected with some big punches and briefly flirted with a guillotine attempt, but could not hold on to it.
