Former NHL enforcer Brashear wins MMA debut; Cote wins on same card

It wasn't exactly MMA's finest moment, but Donald Brashear seemed to wow some in the crowd. The 18-year veteran of the NHL crushed Mathieu Bergeron in just 21 seconds in Quebec City on Saturday night.

Brashear, who has a three-fight deal with Ringside MMA , came to the arena with a Philadelphia Flyers bag.

A southpaw, the former Canuck, Flyer, Canadien, Thrasher and Capital, crushed Bergeron with a left and then pounded away on the ground as the last second fill-in turtled up.

Believe it not, the Brashear fight was actually the co-main event on the card. Former UFC middleweight title challenger Patrick Cote won via unanimous decision over Todd Brown in the co-feature. This was Cote's second straight win away from the UFC. He beat Kalib Starnes, another UFC alum, back in April. Cote (15-7) was cut by the promotion after a loss at UFC 121 to Tom Lawlor. A serious knee suffered against Anderson Silva at UFC 90 derailed Cote's career for nearly two years.

Florian interview: Aldo is still a dangerous man

Kenny Florian's been here before in search of a title shot. He's gotten two cracks at a UFC belt in the past and came up short against Sean Sherk and B.J. Penn. Now he's down at 145 and the target is Jose Aldo. Florian begins his quest this weekend at UFC 131 against Diego Nunes.

Florian is clearly wary of Aldo. When asked if the champ's fight at UFC 129 (unanimous five-round decision) showed him Aldo has weaknesses, Florian was extremely politically correct.

"Aldo still dominated that fight with the exception of that last round. He definitely tired," Florian told "The MMA Insiders" on ESPNRadio1100 in Las Vegas. "Was that the infection? Was that the weight cut? There's a ton of factors that go into that."

Florian (14-5, 11-4 UFC) said it's not smart to judge a fighter based on one fight.

"It's always hard anytime you judge a fighter in a fight like that. We go into fights injured all the time. We go into fights with personal problems, with sicknesses, with other things, you're on antibiotics. You never know what's going to happen," Florian said. "It's hard to judge a fighter on one fight. I try to judge a fighter on what he's done his last three or four fights and based on that Aldo is still one of the best three or four fighters pound-for-pound."

Florian faces Diego Nunes in his first trip down to 145. These are always dicey spots. That initial fight at a new weight often result in a less than stellar gas tank. Florian said he was walking around 161 pound last Friday, but he pointed out several times that he's not eating much. At 5-foot-10, featherweight is a feat. If you're hoping to see Florian-Aldo in the future, root for KenFlo to come out this Nunes fight unscathed. That won't be easy. Nunes is 16-1. His only loss came in a grinding grappling match against LC Davis.

Chad Mendes was booked to face Aldo in August, but the champ pulled out with lingering injury issues. You get the feeling that if Florian crushes Nunes, he has a chance to move ahead of Mendes in the pecking order. That wouldn't be fair to Mendes, but it's the more promotable fight.

Strikeforce's Josh Barnett digs into pro-wrestling repertoire for inspired speech

DALLAS - Josh Barnett is either bored, having fun, or he's completely lost it. Maybe a combination of the three.

Open workouts are usually the time for fighters to elevate their heart rates and answer questions from the media.

Instead of subjecting himself to the usual routine, Barnett chose to cut a promo straight from professional wrestling that was directed at Brett Rogers, whom he meets in the opening round of the heavyweight grand prix at "Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum" on Saturday.
