Overview
Patrick Côté, nicknamed “The Predator”, was born on February 29, 1980, in Rimouski, Quebec. He fought in the UFC at middleweight and welterweight and finished his career at 23 wins and 11 losses. He was a cast member on season 4 of The Ultimate Fighter. He is also a Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt.
Since 2008 the UFC has employed him as a host and analyst for its French language broadcasts in Quebec. That means he moves with the promotion from one broadcaster to the next: he was the voice of the UFC on RDS, then moved to TVA Sports when the rights went back there in 2024. He works the broadcasts with play by play man Jean-Paul Chartrand Jr.
What you'll find
On TVA Sports, Côté hosts and breaks down UFC events: card previews, live analysis and reactions after each result. In December 2025, for example, he was inviting fans to tune in on January 24, 2026, on the network.
His website, patrick-cote.com, covers his other work. On top of the UFC broadcasts, he works as a TV host, a public speaker and an actor. His talks look back at his fighting career and what he took from it.
Why follow
Côté calls the UFC as someone who fought there in two weight classes. He knows the pressure of fight week, the demands of a weight cut and what a fighter feels inside the Octagon. His BJJ black belt helps him make grappling exchanges easy to read for a general audience.
On air since 2008, he is a familiar voice for French speaking UFC fans in Canada. If you want to hear the UFC called in French, or simply compare how a big card sounds on a Quebec broadcast versus an American one, his analysis gives you a clear, accessible read of every fight. For American fans who remember his UFC run, it is also a look at a second career built around the sport.
