Cote is expected to meet Anderson Silva for the title but there are some hoops for the champion -- considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in mixed martial arts -- to jump through first. Silva is taking on James (The Sandman) Irvin on July 19 in Las Vegas in a light-heavyweight bout. Then he is slated to defend his middleweight title, probably against Japan's Yushin Okami, at UFC 88 in Atlanta on Sept. 6.The Cote fight is expected some two months after that.
