In front of a roaring home crowd, Patrick Cote and Kyle Noke battled it out over three rounds in the co-main event. While standing it seemed that Noke was the more dominant, but once Cote closed the distance he smothered the Aussie and gave him no chance to escape. Noke said he gave the brawl everything he had.“I hit him with everything I had and he just kept looking at me. I couldn’t put him away,” Noke said.
Cote won via unanimous decision.
Elias Theodorou came into his Ultimate Fighter middleweight final against Sheldon Westcott looking for the victory. Westcott controlled Theodorou, got the takedown and desperately looked for a submission.
The second round was all Theodorou where took control. Westcott charged forward again but was clearly exhausted. Theodorou picked his moment and finished his fellow countryman on the ground with vicious elbows, even taking the chance to say, “hey mom,” in between ground and pound strikes. As the winner of The Ultimate Fighter, Theodorou has earned a six-figure fight contact with the UFC.
