Dan Miller Talks Recent Loss, Potential Demian Maia Fight, MMA in New York

Middleweight fighter Dan Miller suffered the first loss of his UFC career when he dropped a unanimous decision to Chael Sonnen at UFC 98 in May. His road back to title contention won't get any easier if he ends up facing Demian Maia at UFC 109 in February 2010, as has been reported by several media outlets already.

FanHouse recently spoke to Miller about the possibility of facing Maia next year, what went wrong against Sonnen, and his desire to fight in Madison Square Garden. The video interview is below.

MMA Top 10 Middleweights: Chael Sonnen Rises, Yushin Okami Falls

Chael Sonnen, Yushin Okami

I've been banging the drum for a couple years saying the UFC needs to give Yushin Okami a shot at middleweight champion Anderson Silva. You won't be hearing that from me anymore.

After Chael Sonnen thoroughly dominated Okami with a unanimous decision win on Saturday night at UFC 104, Okami took a tumble in my rankings of the top 10 middleweights in mixed martial arts. So how far did Okami fall, and what does the middleweight picture look like now? My rankings are below.

At 37, Nate Quarry Still Enjoying UFC Grind As He Readies for Tim Credeur

Nate QuarryIn April, Nate Quarry rebounded from the quickest loss in his career with a dominant first-round victory over Jason MacDonald. Now, the heavy-handed middleweight hopes to make it two in a row, but will need to stop the growing momentum of Tim Credeur, who is on a six-fight win streak. The two square off at UFC Fight Night on Sept. 16.

In this FanHouse interview, Quarry (11-3) candidly talks about the Credeur matchup, his disappointment in losing to Demian Maia, why he'd still take the Rich Franklin fight knowing it would end in infamy, and the best and worst parts of being a fighter at age 37.

Five Things We Learned From UFC 102

Todd DuffeeExperts who study boring things that aim to depress us say you can't learn anything watching TV. I say "bollocks" (which is a word I learned watching the BBC). Watching UFC 102 with a finely attuned eye, there was much to be learned.

Dan Henderson: I Would Give the Edge to Nate Marquardt

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Middleweight title contender Dan Henderson is picking Nate Marquardt to come out on top against Demian Maia in Saturday's UFC 102 fight that could determine the next opponent for either Henderson or champion Anderson Silva.

"I would have to go with Marquardt," Henderson said Friday before the weigh-ins. "He's good enough not to get submitted – although Demian is better than anybody with submissions.

"I just think Demian is a little bit too green on his feet and Marquardt's too comfortable everywhere. I would give the edge to Marquardt even though I think it's going to be a back and forth technical fight."

Couture-Nogueira, Maia-Marquardt Winners Could Receive Title Shots

The stage has been set at Saturday's UFC 102 for Randy Couture, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Demian Maia and Nate Marquardt to convince UFC president Dana White into giving them a title shot.

Neither fights are officially considered number one contender bouts, but that might change after Saturday, White told the press Thursday.

"Obviously the winner of [Couture vs. Nogueira] is in the mix," White said. "He's in the mix. These are two of the best heavyweights in the world."
