Nate Marquardt moved a step closer to another middleweight title shot by stopping Wilson Gouveia at 3:10 of the third round.

Marquardt, 29, fighting out of Denver, mixed kicks to Gouveia’s legs with punches to his body early. Gouveia flurried at times, but the way he plodded forward left him open to takedowns and right hands. Those rights kept prompting Gouveia to duck -- a mistake Marquardt capitalized on again and again with knees.

The end came after Marquardt connected with a straight right and a jumping knee. Gouveia reeled back into the cage, and Marquardt cut loose on him with punches, kicks, knees and a spinning backfist. Finally the abuse sat Gouveia down, and the bout was called.
