The elder statesman label looks pretty natural on the lapel of Patrick Cote.
He’s 37 years old. He’s been a professional MMA fighter since 2002. He once fought Anderson Silva for the middleweight title (but let's not speak of that again). He has a 23-10 pro record. He has some mileage on him.
Pump the brakes, though, on another “old guy still has gas in the tank” story. Cote knows he’s old. But is it possible that he may be using that age to his advantage?
Who has ever heard of such a thing?
