Patrick Côté (French pronunciation: [patʁik kote]; born February 29, 1980) is a retired Canadian professional mixed martial artist.

Côté started his martial arts training in the Canadian Army at around age of 16,[3] where he took up boxing and subsequently added muay thai, kickboxing and wrestling to his repertoire.

Côté accepted the fight on just four days' notice when Lion's Den veteran Guy Mezger pulled out of the main event due to an injury.

Côté lost via unanimous decision; however, he impressed UFC officials by not being submitted or knocked out by Ortiz and displaying toughness and willingness to take the fight on short notice.

In 2006, Côté was a contestant on The Ultimate Fighter: The Comeback, defeating Jorge Rivera and Edwin Dewees in exhibition matches.

Referee Herb Dean declared the fight over when Côté could not continue, ruling the bout a TKO victory for Silva.

On January 25, 2009, while taking time off for his surgically repaired knee, Patrick said during an interview with MMA Mania that if he gets a rematch with Anderson Silva he is confident that he will beat him.

In the second round Côté was submitted via rear naked choke by Alan Belcher after being slammed on his head.

Out-wrestled by his opponent for all three rounds, Côté lost the fight by unanimous decision with 30–27 scores on all three judges' cards.

On October 7, 2011, Côté faced muay thai specialist Crafton Wallace at Instinct MMA 1 in Boisbriand, Quebec, Canada.
