UFC 148 fighters break down their bouts

No. 1 middleweight contender Chael Sonnen has done a lot (seriously a lot) of talking leading up to his rematch with Anderson Silva, but in the main event at UFC 148 Sonnen says he will be doing the talking with his fists.

UFC 148 will be the final time fans see Tito Ortiz compete in the Octagon. The former light-heavyweight champion, who has a future in MMA broadcasting, says he has prepared the last 15 years for his final 15 minutes in the UFC.

Forrest Griffin has fought Ortiz twice before and wants to put a stamp on the trilogy with a win on Saturday.

Canadian Patrick Cote is back in the UFC and wants to prove that he deserves to stay there for good.

Former Strikeforce middleweight champion Cung Le is glad Cote is confident heading into their bout. Despite rumblings that he could step away from the sport after UFC 148, Le says that this won’t be his last fight.
