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.

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.”
