As a fan there is nothing more exciting than a thirty second Blitzkrieg knockout. As a writer it kind of sucks because nothing happens other than a signal highlight. Basically imagine writing a story about a football game or a basketball game and all you can talk about is one sack or block. It's kind of frustrating.

Case in point Demian Maia's recent interview with Sherdog.

Sherdog: What can you say about Marquardt? Is he as strong as everybody says?
Maia: Actually, I didn't even have time to get a feel for him. I hope we have a chance to face each other again in the near future.

Then again perhaps Maia and I are really off base because I think Maia found out how strong Nate was by, well, you know.
