Chael Sonnen opened many MMA fans eyes with a dominating win over Nate Marquardt.  Chael has been speaking out against everything from Anderson Silva, Stikeforce, and Politics.  Sonnen looks to be on his way tot a title shot in the near future.  

Chael won the fight by taking down Nate Marquardt over and over again.  He was able to wiggle free from a guillotine and the end of the fight to secure his victory.  The fight was a bloody mess.  Sonnen was given a nasty cut across the forehead via elbow in the second round. 

Sonnen won this fight the only way possible, by taking down Marquardt and not getting submitted in the top position.

Matt Lindland has also been getting in the mix as well saying “He’s a bad matchup for Anderson. Everybody knows that. If there’s a style that beats Anderson, it’s Chael’s style. There’s no question.”

Sonnen has also shared his feelings about Strikeforce saying “But look, at the end of the day, if you want to get to the top of the card in the UFC, you have to fight tough guys. If you want to be a fighter, get in the cage and be a big deal at your local strip club, go to Showtime. But if you want to fight real guys, this is the place to do it.”

I am sure we have all heard the comments about Anderson Silvia. Sonnen claims that Anderson speaks English, that he hates the media and that Vitor is the best middleweight in the sport.

Sonnen is a long way from the belt, but one thing is for sure that the more competition in the division the better.  If he continues to fight at this high level the sky is the limit for Sonnen.  Maybe in his next fight he will not be such an underdog.
