White and Marquardt won’t lose sleep over Sonnen’s pre-UFC 109 tirades

LAS VEGAS – Chael Sonnen is free to rant on, crazy or not, according to Dana White and opponent Nate Marquardt.

During a Thursday press conference, White made official the contendership status of Saturday’s UFC 109 co-main event fight between Marquardt and Sonnen. But the talk of the day was the barbs Sonnen directed at everyone except his opponent.

The Team Quest middleweight rained on the parades of Anderson Silva, Mark Coleman and “lazy” MMA fighters in several recent interviews. Sonnen seemed to have little regard for the clichés he felt the industry peddled.
