02-08-2010 12:35 PM:Chael Sonnen was on fire this week. First and foremost with his dominant win over top five middleweight Nate Marquardt. He also sizzled in front of microphones and camera. As if the bevy of fighters he tore wasn't enough he even shredded Showtime on Saturday night.
"At the end of the day, if you want to get to the top of the card in the UFC, you gotta fight tough guys," Sonnen said during the UFC 109 postfight press conference (2:01 mark). "If you want to be a fighter and get in the cage and be a big deal at your local strip club, go to Showtime. If you want to fight real guys this is the place to be."
Sonnen was referencing Strikeforce, where its top middleweights include Dan Henderson, Jake Shields, Robbie Lawler, Nick Diaz, Tim Kennedy, Frank Shamrock, Scott Smith, "Jacare" Souza and his own teammate Matt Lindland.
Sonnen is now in line for a shot at the UFC middleweight title. Anderson Silva defends his belt on Apr. 10 against Vitor Belfort. Sonnen said he hopes Silva wins so he avoid the tougher fighter.
