"[Michael Bisping and Demian Maia] are good fighters. Bisping can go and go, and Maia is good on the ground. But neither one of them has fought anyone who is as good as me or at the same level of fighter that I am. It would be a huge jump in class for them to fight me, and I think I could finish either one of them off in round one or two.... The desire for a rematch with Anderson Silva is obvious, and it’s a great desire of mine. I really feel like I didn’t fight the way I wanted to fight. I just didn’t show up that night. When I was sticking with my game plan, I was winning the fight. I went away from that, and he took advantage of it. The next time we fight, it will be a war and I can’t wait for the opportunity."
-- Yesterday it was Michael Bisping and today it's Nate Marquardt. The former number one middleweight contender talks about what he would do to either Bisping or Demian Maia in a Sherdog.com interview. The former King of Pancrase also lobbies hard to be named the coach opposite "The Count" on the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 9. If gets his wish he'll certainly be one step closer toward achieving two objectives -- fighting Bisping and rematching Silva.
