Thomas Gerbasi, UFC – Chael Sonnen is the worst kind of fighter to be in the Octagon with. Not because he will knock you out in 30 seconds or submit you in the same amount of time. It’s because he will punish you and make you miserable for 15 minutes, and that’s precisely what he did to Nate Marquardt in the UFC 109 co-main event Saturday night at the Mandalay Bay Events Center, pounding out a unanimous decision victory that earned him a shot at April’s middleweight title fight between champion Anderson Silva and challenger Vitor Belfort.
