UFC welterweight Patrick Cote is gearing up for his bout with another vet, Joe Riggs, at UFC 186.<\/p>\n

The Canadian fighter spoke with BloodyElbow<\/a> about his upcoming fight and about his eventual retirement from the sport. Check out some of what he had to say.<\/p>\n

“I have a lot of things going on outside of the cage. I have two businesses and I’m working a lot in television on French TV here in Montreal, but when I’m in training camp, I do this 100 per cent. It takes time and I had time now.”
\n<\/em>
\n“As long as I’m able to compete at this level and it’s not dangerous for my health, I’ll fight. I want to see my kids grown up. I want to be able to play with them. I’ve never been knocked out in my life; I’ve never been rocked. I’m looking forward to finishing my career like that. Maybe one day I’ll wake up and I’ll think I don’t want to receive punches anymore in my face.”
