Nate Marquardt Talks Chael Sonnen Fight
Chael is a tough wrestler and is coming off a win against Yushin Okami. I thought I would get a title fight or a fight with Henderson, but neither fight was available, so I accepted the fight with Sonnen. Honestly I was upset at first. Why should I be fighting a guy that lost to Demian Maia three fights ago? After I thought about it a while, I changed my mind. Sonnen is a great wrestler with decent striking and I don’t want to wait to fight. Now I am pumped to fight and training has been going great! GSP is in town along with Rashad and all the guys. Let’s do this!
It’s good to see that he is amped up and ready to go. Even if Nate should be a heavy favorite coming in it would be very dangerous to take on Chael if your head isn’t in the fight.
The bout was originally talked about for UFC 110, but it is now set for February 6 at UFC 109.
