UFC 109 Results: Sonnen Pulls the Upset, Coleman Looks Old!

(The battle of the old men wasn't much of a contest at all) 

Chael Sonnen has a lot of people eating their words after this weekend's Super-Saturday card. I predicted, as many others did, that Nate Marquardt would annihilate Sonnen with ease but I was wrong. Chael came out determined to top the fight and stayed true to his words that once he put his mouthpiece in he would find a way to win. It was a classic Team Quest-esque  grind out wrestling victory where he controlled from top position and banged on Nate for three rounds despite a nasty cut that opened up on his forehead from a Marquardt elbow. If Dana White stays true to his word, Sonnen should be next up in line for a shot at Middleweight gold and that will open the flood gates for some serious Sonnen trash talk in the lead up to the fight.
In other 109 news, Randy Couture had no problem reaching the target on Mark Coleman as Mark chose to block punches with his head as he so often does. Couture was in a league above Coleman who looked old and out of place in the main event of the evening. Randy landed at will and took Coleman down, and choked him out to get the win over the fellow HOF inductee. At the post-fight presser Dana White stated that it was likely the last time we would see "The Hammer" in the Octagon. The always class-less Tito Ortiz found a way to get his name on the microphone as he taunted the fallen Coleman as he was talking to Rogan. Coleman responeded with "F#%K You Tito" and "Anytime Douch-Bag" well said Champ, well said.
