Nate Marquardt believes he will get another shot at Anderson Silva if he beats Chael Sonnen.
“From what I understand, if I win this fight, I will get the shot,” Marquardt said.
“I wasn’t sure when I heard that statement or read it or whatever, what exactly he meant. I assume he meant if he vacated or whatever and that would be a little disappointing to me,” stated Marquardt. “I want a rematch with him and it would mean the world to me to get a rematch with him.”
As of today, I think that Nate Marquardt has the best chance against Anderson Silva. Although I don’t think he can beat Silva, I think he will put up a good fight.

With a submission win over Raphael Assuncao, Faber will get a shot at Jose Aldo. This was confirmed by WEC General Manager Reed Harris. Faber only had good things to say about Jose Aldo.
“I’m hoping it will be fairly quick,” said Faber. “I didn’t take any injuries against Assuncao and I had a long layoff with my hands last time.”
“He’s an exciting fighter. It kind of reminds me of the Randy (Couture) and Vitor Belfort where the phenom with the hands and the crafty veteran,” commented “The California Kid.” “It’s funny that I’m the veteran at this point. I’m looking forward to a knockdown, drag-out with two exciting guys and hopefully it will happen soon.”
Reed Harris also added that Faber vs Aldo could headline the WEC‘s first pay-per-view. No date or venue has been set.

Faber knows that there is a title shot around the corner for him, but he doesn’t want to think about that right now. He has his eyes set on taking out Raphael Assuncao at WEC 46 on Sunday night.
“I don’t want to get too excited about fighting Aldo yet because I’ve got another hard-headed Brazilian to try and throw around. We’ll see how that goes. I’m expecting a great performance and hopefully have the belt by midway through 2010,” Faber told the media on a conference call on Tuesday.
In his last fight, Faber lost to Mike Brown, suffering a dislocated thumb and broken right hand.
“I’m excited to get back in there,” said Faber. “It’s been a while for me. It’s been six months and a lot of recovery and stuff for me with my hands.”
