What???

Nate Marquardt takes on Alessio Sakara on UFC 116 main card in July
by Dann Stupp on Apr 26, 2010 at 12:25 pm ET
A middleweight bout between Nate Marquardt (29-9-2 MMA, 8-3 UFC) and Alessio Sakara (15-7 MMA, 6-4 UFC) will be part of UFC 116.

A source close to one of the competitors told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that bout agreements are in the process of being finalized and that the fight will be part of the night's televised main card. MMA reporter Joe Ferraro first reported the possibility of the fight on Twitter.

Although not officially announced by the organization, UFC 116 takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and airs on pay-per-view.

UFC heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar meets interim title-holder Shane Carwin in the headliner of the Independence Day weekend event.

Marquardt looks to rebound from a unanimous-decision loss to Chael Sonnen at UFC 109. The loss, which propelled Sonnen to a title shot, snapped Marquardt's three-fight win streak (all of which came via knockout) and delivered a setback in his quest for a second title shot against current champ Anderson Silva.

The Team Jackson fighter now meets Sakara, who's quietly amassed a three-fight win streak with knockout victories over Joe Vedepo and James Irvin and a split-decision win over Thales Leites. Prior to the recent streak, the American Top Team fighter went just 2-4 in the UFC and was on the verge of being dropped by the promotion.

I guess they want to give Nate a win. Less risky then giving him someone like Palhares.

They probably just want to get him a win or 2 in a row to get him back around title contention.

Who would you preffer he fight? Plenty of guys already tied up in fights like Wand, Cote, Belcher, Bisping, Miller. Who would you give him? Munoz? Palhares? Okami?

Would be awesome. I think Okami would beat Munoz but it would be a good fight.

Solid fight, I think Okami has good enough takedown D to keep it standing. Be an interesting matchup, but Munoz will getsomeone lower on the totem pole than Okami IMO

I don't like that matchup, I think Palhares owns him. That little pitbull is one of the most underrated/overlooked fighters in MMA IMO.

Well his jj skills are tops, but his striking is still limited, if Munoz could use his wrestling to keep it standing he could win that IMO. Remember he trains with the Nogs too

Yeah but Palhares is tough fucker, even if his standup isn't great he is just so tough. I can still remember him giving Hendo all he wanted in their fight. The guy is so fucking strong, so tough, I just think he is a handful for just about anyone. I remember Hendo said it hurt to punch him, kind of like what Page said about Hendo.

Munoz vs. Palhares sounds good. We arent in the make good fights for fighters business we're in the make the best fights for the fans business. Make it happen.

Marquardt vs. Sakara will be similar to the T-Rex vs. The Goat in Jurassic Park.
