Nate Marquardt will take on Yushin Okami at UFC 122 in Germany. The duel will decide the top contender's opponent for the middleweight title that will be contested in early 2011 in a bout pitting long-time champion Anderson Silva against Vitor Belfort.
Sherdog.com caught up with the former King of Pancrase at his camp in Denver, Colo., to discuss his opportunity to stake his claim as the title challenger, something he came up short on earlier this year when he was defeated by Chael Sonnen at UFC 109.
In this exclusive video interview, Marquardt discusses that fight and the fallout since Sonnen has been accused of using performance-enhancing drugs in his title match with Silva.
