Are people really that impressed with Sonnens performance?

I watched that fight many times now and i cant get past his handicap abilities to finish a fight and lack of power on his gnp


Nate made more damage from his back than Sonnen on top.

Like Sonnen said himself,he is gonna need alot more than that to dethrone Silva, to be honest I can even see Silva getting sub on this one

If his is as tough as he brags he would finished the fight,and last my point is,he is limeted!

Sonnen dominated that fight. Marquart got a few elbows in that cut Chael and beat up his face, but he physically dominated for about 13:30 out of 15:00 minutes. You can't deny that.

Finishing the fight has nothing to do with how good a fighter he is.


He won, and dominated a very good fighter.

If the rules were changed to "a fight can only end with a finish" then I wouldnt be impressed. But those are not the rules. And by todays MMA rules, his performance was impressive.

ANd lol @ "I have watched this fight many times now".

Dominated the guy that was supposed to be the number 1 contender and was a huge underdog? Yes, I was impressed. I also picked him to win though. So I could see why everyone else would be highly impressed.

I think that marquardt probably hurt Sonnen as much as Sonnen hurt him.

At the end of the fight Marquardt was on top of Sonnen as well. Marquardt also wasnt allowed to knee Sonnen in the head which he clearly could have done.

All in all I would say that Marquardt would have won if it was a real fight, but since it was an MMA match he lost.

Still tough, his gnp is so weak and his lack to finish fights is not a big thing it is actually HUGE!

He is a like great soccer player that dribbles 10 players but when in front of the goal he misses it
