Why Almeida vs. Cote is going to be a Massacre



I could simplify this statement to read: Cote's submission game sucks, but let me elaborate a little bit.

Cote has fought one serious jiu-jitsu fighter in the UFC, and that was Travis Lutter. Lutter decimated him, but it's not just that Lutter beat him, it's also that Almeida is a world better than Lutter.

Almeida has one of the best submission game's in this division, and while I'm not a Gracie Barra guy, I have to acknowledge that this guy is a warrior with some of the best skills on the ground that this division has ever seen.

Really, I don't see any way that Cote is coming out of this fight without tapping.
