With a win tonight at UFC 109, Nate Marquardt is going to get exactly what he wants. Another shot at the UFC middleweight title against Anderson Silva or Vitor Belfort. Marquardt missed out on his opportunity back at UFC 73. He admits he wasn't right mentally for the fight and approached the great Silva tentatively. His confidence is brimming now after a xx second knockout of Demian Maia and wins in four of five.

Sonnen is an interesting foe. Think basketball and Princeton's slow pace. Marquardt is dynamic striker but if he's on his back, Sonnen can steal minutes and eventually rounds. Marquardt talks about the strategy of the fight in the convo above during UFC 109 workout day.
