Following his loss to Silva, Marquardt won four of his next five fights before succumbing to a loss against Chael Sonnen at UFC 109. The fight was a middleweight title eliminator. Sonnen, who won, challenged Anderson Silva for the belt in his next fight. Between 2005 and 2017, Marquardt always competed in the UFC with the only exception being a two-fight stint with Strikeforce. At the promotion, in his very first fight, he secured a knockout win over Tyron Woodley to become the Strikeforce welterweight champion.
In his last five fights with the UFC, Nate Marquardt had an abysmal record of 1-4. His last fight in the promotion was a split decision loss to Cezar Ferreira in November 2017. ‘The Great’ announced his retirement a month later and has not competed ever since.
