If Mike Rio is any indication of what Dakota Cochrane could face on “The

understanding.

Soon after FX officials announced Cochrane as one of 32 fighters chosen
for the upcoming live season of the the UFC’s competition-reality
series, Dakota’s past as a gay-porn actor made headlines.

But after finding himself on the receiving end of a Mike Pierce call-out, Koscheck now finds himself in a fight he wasn’t
expecting. Koscheck had actually hoped to fight at 185 pounds, but he’s since tapped into motivation in spades.
