Couture and Sonnen win at UFC 109

In a battle of two hall of famers, Randy Couture dominated Mark Coleman and finished him off with a guillotine choke hold in the second round. In other action, Chael Sonnen dominated Nate Marquardt by taking him down at will and holding him on the ground while peppering him with the ground and pound throughout the fight. Marquardt was always a bit overrated in my opinion. I think Nate is a great fighter but not the guy for Anderson Silva. I'm not sure Sonnen is the guy either as right now there is really no one at middleweight (in the UFC) to challenge the spider.

It's hard to say where Couture goes from here but he should be getting (only a bit) closer to a title shot. Coleman was swearing back and forth with Tito Ortiz after the fight but Ortiz is fighting Chuck Lidell after his stint on the Ultimate Fighter as a coach. It's harder to say where Coleman goes after this fight.
