Things went from bad to worse for Nate Marquardt on Saturday. First, Pennsylvania This content is protected commission officials refused to medically clear the fighter just a bit more than 24 hours before his main event bout against Rick Story at UFC Live 4. Then Marquardt was released from the UFC, according to a video statement from company president Dana White. “Not only is he out of this This content is protected and out of the main event on Versus, he will no longer be with the UFC," White said in a brief video released on Tout.com. LOL! If he has kicked him out for drugs then good but at the same time why are Thiago Silva and Chael Sonnen still signed?! :deal Lynchburg
My bad... sorry guys i didn't see the other thread :-( http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=322597 Lynchburg
181lbs... is what i heard. He is still a drugs cheat anyway so **** him. Back when it was announced he would fight at 170lbs i think everyone on here laughed and said no way. He is a big 205lb fighter, massive 185lbs and never a 170lb fighter! This way a crazy choice to even think about making 170lbs! Lynchburg
Make sense why he was cut. I think loads of people rightly doubted if he could make it, and he proved them right on his 1st attempt. He'd have been a shell at 170, worse than Thiago after a few of his bad cuts
I doubt its just a weight cut thing - they've let guys off that before. And many are saying he was able to make the weight anyway.
He is a known cheat anyway so i think he may have used the weight as an excuse to not get drugs tested... :think Lynchburg
Maybe he had a little 'help' then. But early reports dont really give us much to go on. And I doubt his camp would say if he was having difficulty making the cut either, But it's all speculation really
If they've actually terminated his contract with the UFC this fast he's done something pretty ****ed up. :shock: Hopefully he laid some hands or a sub on Dana. :yep
Notice Charlie B going into the steam room even though he didn't have a fight to make weight for? Something very odd has gone down.
