In case you were wondering, no, Nate Marquardt has not completely put his loss to Chael Sonnen at UFC 109 behind him. It’s still there in the back of his mind. Certain aspects of it still bug him. But that’s okay, he says. Hanging on to a loss isn’t always a bad thing.
“You always have to look forward, but that doesn’t always mean putting it completely behind you,” Marquardt (29-9-2) told MMA Fighting. “It means looking at it and seeing why it happened and fixing your mistakes. I made technical mistakes and I made tactical mistakes, and that’s what cost me the fight.”
It cost him not only the victory, but also a title shot against his old nemesis, UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva. Marquardt came into the cage that night as a heavy favorite to beat Sonnen and claim the number one contender spot. Fifteen minutes later, Sonnen was bloodied and battered, but Marquardt was declared the loser via unanimous decision.
There went the title shot. There went the chance at redemption.
UFC Fight Night Main card * Middleweight bout: Nate Marquardt vs Rousimar Palhares – Bad matchup for Marquardt if this gets on the ground. With both their skillsets I like Palhares. * Lightweight bout: Efrain Escudero vs Charles Oliveira – Charles Oliveira wins this. * Lightweight bout: Jim Miller vs Gleison Tibau – Interesting fight […]
* Middleweight bout: Nate Marquardt vs Rousimar Palhares – Bad matchup for Marquardt if this gets on the ground. With both their skillsets I like Palhares.
* Lightweight bout: Efrain Escudero vs Charles Oliveira – Charles Oliveira wins this.
* Lightweight bout: Jim Miller vs Gleison Tibau – Interesting fight here. If there is going to be a TKO its coming from Tibau’s hands. Miller could out point Tibau, but Gleison has been doing well is last couple of outings and really concentrating. I like Tibau here he will be bigger and more powerful – slower though.
* Lightweight bout: Ross Pearson vs Cole Miller – I don’t think Miller has an answer to anything that Pearson will be throwing. Pearson has looked great on his feet in his two fights vs Aaron Riley and Denis Siver. These two fighters are known for pushing the pace and steamrolling their opponents. Pearson handled them with relative ease. I think Miller will have trouble the whole fight so the odds of Miller slapping on a triangle or RNC I think are slim. Pearson has showed a laser like focus sticking to a fight plan against both Riley and Siver. I like Pearson to win.
* Lightweight bout: Yves Edwards vs John Gunderson – As much as I’m fan of Gunderson. I think Yves has the speed and all the ability to stifle Gunderson. Yves by decision.
* Light Heavyweight bout: Jared Hamman vs Kyle Kingsbury – Kingsbury has been looking better lately, and Hamman has that tough zombie style. I like Hamman because he is unbreakable.
* Middleweight bout: Tomasz Drwal vs Dave Branch – Dave Branch wins this.
* Middleweight bout: Rich Attonito vs Rafael Natal – Pass
* Welterweight bout: Anthony Waldburger vs David Mitchell – Pass
* Welterweight bout: Brian Foster vs Forrest Petz

Nate Marquardt was one win away from realizing his goal of fighting Anderson Silva for the middleweight title again. All he had to do was beat Chael Sonnen at UFC 109.
Of course, things didn’t go as planned for Marquardt, who lost to Sonnen via unanimous decision.
That loss hasn’t necessarily knocked Marquardt all the way down the 185-pound ladder (Sonnen’s performance at UFC 117 might have softened the blow in the eyes of MMA pundits), but in order to remain in the mix, he must get by Rousimar Palhares at UFC Fight Night 22 on Sept. 15.
And believe it or not, Marquardt is walking into this fight with the memory of his loss to Sonnen firmly cemented in his mind.
“I guess I’m still not over the heartbreak or whatever,” Marquardt said on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour. “It still bothers me, but I’m definitely looking forward to my next fight and I feel I’ve learned my lessons from that fight. I expect to go into this fight and execute my game plan, and I think that’s one of the biggest mistakes that I made against Chael.”
