while Jake has better technical stand up and more power.. if Nate can steer clear this may turn into a war.. Especially late 2nd and 3rd round, Nate doesn't have great conditioning but on average it's still better than Mr. Ellenberger's...
I think Jake is better but short of a flash KO he is gonna have to work hard for this win.
Hopefully Onion burger comes in well conditioned for this one. I can see him beating Marquardt. I don't mind Marquardt, but he's too inconsistent for me to really follow him. I wouldn't want to see him defeat Jake just to go on to lose his next big fight in typical fashion.

Thats my only real knock an Nate,about the time I think he has it all together he lays an egg, he cost me quite a bit of worthless credits in his last fight..
Ellenberger is such a heavy hitter. Marquardt didn't look bad early on, but you have to watch out for Jake's power at all times. Probably the hardest hitting welterweight in the UFC.
Nate should retire. He's had a great career and I like him, but he's clearly on the downswing of his career, he's 33 years old, he's never going to be champ, and he's just going to take unnecessary damage at his age. Having said that, I doubt he retires anytime soon.
Honestly, Marquardt didn't look bad at all. He was landing throughout the round. Ellenberger just hits like a truck and his power needs to always be respected.
Marquardt may get another chance. It's not like he was completely out classed or anything. He got caught by one of the hardest punchers at 170. I doubt he will ever get another title shot though.
