Even if he does go in with the gameplan to wrestlefuck thompson....he now doesnt have the element of surprise after what he did against noke. For sure thompson is going to be aware of it now, unlike if cote had of jus brawled with noke for three rounds like voelker fight he probably wouldnt be worried about the threat of takedown tht much and would be more inclined to throw spinning leg kicks and shiiit!

Also, thompson is alot more unorthodox and tricky in his karate stance compared to a guy like noke who is pretty much a stationary target and ripe for the takedown
