Nate Marquardt vs. Chael Sonnen

Round 1 – I was just starting to respect Chael Sonnen before his recent surge in speaking. Sonnen coming forward putting on the pressure. Sonnen gets the takedown and Nate has a guillotine, he lost it and Sonnen is in his full guard. Elbows from Sonnen, over and over, pounding, punches, and power. We haven’t seen Marquardt get handled like this since, I can’t remember when. Marquardt kicks him off, gets to his feet. Throws a flying knee, Sonnen eats it, then puts Marquardt straight back down to his back. Marquardt is bleeding, most likely from the elbows. Rogan and Goldie are ignoring the action, absolutely ignoring it. And Sonnen is pounding away on Marquardt. Elbows and punches in bunches, unrelenting. Marquardt is surviving but that’s it. I can’t remember Marquardt ever getting handled like this. I give the round to Sonnen 10-8.

Round 2 – Sonnen immediately gets a takedown. Wow. Marquardt looking for a kimura. Sonnen out of danger, and Sonnen in his half guard. Big punches from Sonnen, huge left hand from standing position. Oh man, Marquardt has to be hurt. Marquardt goes for some time of leg submission. Sonnen is bleeding like a stuck pig from an elbow where Nate opened him up. It is literally spewing and dripping blood. Nate is turtled with Sonnen on his back. Marquardt scrambles, he gets up, but Sonnen immediately puts him on his back again. Sonnen pounds with elbows and punches. Sonnen stands up and his face is a mess. I give it to Sonnen another 10-8 round.

Round 3 – Nate goes for a takedown, gets stuffed. Nate throws a lazy side kick and gets put on his back again. Chael Sonnen has exposed a HUGE hole in Marquardt’s game. Sonnen pounding away from inside Nate’s guard. Nate explodes, stands up and Nate has him body locked from behind, drags him back down, and is on top in half guard. Nate stands, catches Sonnen with a knee as he shoots. Marquardt locks in a guillotine, it is very tight, he’s straining, Sonnen’s face turns blue, but Sonnen escapes. Marquardt looks exhausted. Marquardt stands up briefly, lands a couple of shots just before the bell sounds. I still give the round 10-9 to Sonnen, and give the fight 30-25.

Randy Couture vs. Mark Coleman

Round 1 – I wonder if it’s weird for Randy seeing Shawn Tompkins in Coleman’s corner. What a crazy fight this is. LEGENDS. And Mazzigatti gets the honor of reffing. Left jab from Randy. Again. Again. Again, right on the ching, big right by Randy. Leg kick by Coleman. Uppercut by Randy and Coleman fires back and lands a punch. Left jab by Randy. Huge right hands by Randy and Coleman is rocked. They tie up. Big left hand by Rand, then an uppercut, another one. Elbow by Randy. Couture has him pressed against the cage. Uppercut by Couture. It’s going to be HARD to KO Coleman.

Dirty boxing by Randy, and Coleman hasn’t even looked for a takedown yet. I give it to Randy 10-9.

Round 2 – Randy landing some punches. Coleman is rocked, and Randy gets the takedown, and has him mounted. Randy laying on the ground and pound. Coleman gives up his back and Couture locks in the rear-naked choke, Coleman doesn’t tap, and it is all over, as the ref stops it. Randy walked in to the song “Stranglehold” by Ted Nugent – very fitting. It was Randy’s third fight in seven months.

OFFICIAL RESULT: Randy Couture def. Mark Coleman by submission (Rear-Naked Choke) Rd 2 (1:09)

Obviously, Tito Ortiz said something outside the cage and Coleman heard it. Coleman stopped the post-fight interview, walked over to cage side and said “Fuck you Tito, any time douche bag.” Ha ha ha, that was more entertaining than the fight almost.
