Exclusive Artists
An Artist with an Impressive Background of Experience

Born in the small village of Saint-Narcisse-de-Rimouski on February 29, 1980, Patrick Côté spent 15 years as a professional Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter, including a glorious career with the prestigious UFC, where he competed for the world championship. He holds a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

At the age of 19, in 1999, as he was looking to give meaning to his life, Patrick joined the Canadian military, where he learned discipline and determination. During this time, he was introduced to mixed martial arts, as well as judo and boxing. In 2002, he completed a mission in Bosnia as an armored vehicle driver, helping rebuild the country and assist the local population. He describes this experience as one of the key moments that helped define who he is today.

From the Army to the Top of the UFC

In 2004, Patrick Côté left the army and began focusing more seriously on competitive sports when he joined the Team Union in Quebec. Having always been involved in high-level sports, Patrick became the first Quebecer to fight in the main event of the prestigious Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), dedicating himself fully to reaching the highest peaks. In 2008, he also fought for the UFC Middleweight Championship. Notably, Patrick holds the record as the Canadian fighter with the most UFC bouts.

After securing several incredible victories and maintaining top physical condition with an impressive record of 23 wins out of 34 fights, he announced his retirement live at the end of a televised fight in 2017—much to the surprise of his family and wife. He made this decision to focus on his daughter and to mentor the next generation of fighters seeking his advice.

From Fighter to Commentator and Analyst

With an impressive wealth of experience, Patrick is now the official French-speaking voice of the UFC since April 19, 2008. In this role, he works alongside host Jean-Paul Chartrand Jr., covering all UFC events and fights broadcasted on RDS. Additionally, he provides commentary for the same events when they are broadcast worldwide on pay-per-view channels. Naturally, Patrick also regularly acts as a sports analyst on various sports programs in Quebec and Montreal. Since 2019, he has produced the French-language podcast, “Dans la cage”, dedicated to boxing and mixed martial arts, alongside Benoît Beaudoin. Owner of a sports complex offering martial arts classes, as well as CrossFit and functional training, free time is rare for this passionate individual who never seems to have enough of the standard 24-hour day!

“Anything is Possible”: The Conference and Book

For the past two years, Patrick has been delivering motivational conferences in companies, schools, and sports teams. Despite injuries and challenges, Patrick has always found a way to bounce back thanks to his greatest strength: his heart. He has consistently stepped out of his comfort zone and developed the warrior mentality that pushed him to live a life as a professional athlete and become one of the top mixed martial arts fighters on the planet. Perseverance, determination, discipline, and resilience led him to his dream of competing in the UFC.

Through his conference and his book, “Anything is Possible,” he teaches how, in every aspect of life—both professional and personal—it’s possible to perform at the highest level by applying simple but effective principles that one must adhere to, no matter what!

His Social Involvement

Raised by his mother in a less privileged environment and receiving help from many people during his childhood, Patrick is deeply involved with young people. He is an ambassador for Tel-jeunes, a spokesperson for Club des petits déjeuners, and very active with the ATI Foundation and as an ambassador for Maison Le Phare (a palliative care center for young people and families, the only one of its kind in Quebec). Patrick is also the spokesperson for Canada’s injured veterans. These causes are close to his heart.
