Marquardt fighting style is a more laidback slow paced technique than Silva, and will have to change early on if he has a chance against the explosive champion Silva.

January was the last time Marquardt stepped into the octagon at UFC Fight Knights and went the distance against Dean Lister with an unanimous decision. That night Marquardt controlled the fight and sent Lister to the canvas several times.

Marquardt will have to fight aggressive like he did with Lister against Silva to have any chance to come away with this UFC title.
