What the...Marquardt is out of the UFC

I wonder if Nate's pink slip looked like this?

Im hoping its Nate vs Askren sometime soon

Maybe Nate did do roids but knows he'll test positive so he's admitting it? far fetched...but i guess there is going to be an announcement.

Although this sucks for tommorows main event, this is good news unless Marquardt is walking around with a disease or career ending injury. Hector Lombard has already released a video saying Marquardt can use all the roids he wants and he'll take him on. Fact is, while Marquardt is a top 10, possibly top 5 MW..he's already been used up by Anderson Silva and been set back by Sonnen and Okami...i'd actually rather see him test the top MW outside the UFC like Jacare or Lombard...a fight with Nate would tell us right where they stand.

now bird, if Nate is no longer in the UFC..he won't bother fighting at WW when there is a chance he could be the best 185 fighter outside the UFC. The cut to WW was in hope GSP would not bitch out of a move up to 185..which he did

Bizarre.

Hector Lombard:

stop taking steroids m.......rs

I bet it was GSP who supplied Nate

Latest rumor-

Nate Marquardt was cut from the UFC due to a prexisting condition that he tried to hide from the athletic commission. The commission discovered it, alerted Dana White and due to Marquardt's previous knowledge of the condition, he was fired for trying to 'pull one over' on the UFC.
Nate Marquardt was cut from the UFC because it was perceived that when he was medically ineligible to fight, he 'sabotaged' future television negotiations and, in short, the UFC didn't appreciate it.
Nate Marquardt was cut from the UFC due to some sort of 'treatment' that the UFC was aware of. Marquardt allegedly abused this therapy, the levels were too high and the commission pulled the fight.

There has been a lot of speculation among fans that the UFC's decision to cut Nate Marquardt from the promotion may be due to a severe weight cut issue. Fortunately for us, E. Casey Leydon shot video of the entire weight cutting process that Nate Marquardt went through to make the new 170 lb. threshold. I think this safely puts to rest any doubts

Marquardt looked far from drained or disoriented from the weight cut. The absurd rumors that he was roughly 10 or more pounds overweight are completely untrue, likely leading to more speculation that there was a potential substance issue with his medicals.

I find it hard to believe this was simply a case in which he did something minor. Being cut from the UFC is a major punishment, and I think it's absurd to believe anyone but the athletic commission itself when it comes to drug testing and other issues. We will find out more today at 4:00 PM ET as the Pennsylvania Athletic Commission will hold a press conference.

man that double facepalm pic still gets me freak. That is so fucking hilarious.

Yeah it cracks me up each time I reply to a post I don't agree with.

is that a screen capture from the press conference after the loss?

I don't know. I just found it on google search.

Wtf?

Nate will be on Ariel's show Tuesday. I'd imagine we'll get our answer then

Damn I didn't dvr.the spike marathon. Could prove costly. Ufc will be burning all of that footage tonight.

Was anyone really a fan of his? I could care less about the guy cause he was never gonna do anything anyways.

It would also be Nate's 2nd failed drug test if its something along those lines

thats my guess being dana was about piseed as could be at the pre fight show. Had he just missed weight I doubt dana would of cut him so quick.

Nate Marquardt was cut from the UFC after the Pennsylvania Athletic Commission refused to license him to fight Rick Story in what was to have been the headliner at UFC on Versus 4.

UFC President Dana White spoke to Ariel Helwani and Stephan Bonnar on the Versus post UFC Live 4 show and he addressed the Nate Marquardt situation:

Yeah I found out, I actually found out on Thursday and all I have to say is honestly, from what I saw here this evening and the way things have been handled so far, the Pennsylvania Athletic Commission is the best commission in the United States. Seriously, the way that these guys handle things and the way that things have been done during the fight, before the fight, etcetera, etcetera.

The thing that's going on with Nate Marquardt, Pennsylvania laws are unfortunate that the commission can't come out and announce medical records or medical situations with fighters but I think it's pretty clear to the fans and everybody else that I'm pretty disgusted with Nate Marquardt.

He's been cut from the UFC. He won't fight in the UFC ever again. So gotta follow these guidelines with the health and blah blah blah blah blah, bottom line is what Nate Marquardt did is bad enough to be cut from the UFC....He didn't pass his medicals, you know what I mean?

It's the way it has to be said here because of the laws and the health and the this stuff. You guys know me, you know how I operate. Before anything was said, he's cut, he's done with the UFC. I'm disgusted with him and he has no business fighting in the UFC...I would say the exact opposite. Nate Marquardt has done some things and I'm one of these guys that gives everyone a second chance. We all make mistakes...Nah listen, we all make mistakes, people make mistakes, we're human. It's gonna happen. It's how you handle it.

Nate Marquardt is a nice guy, he's a sweet heart, always says the nice things and is a nice guy. But you know, being nice and acting nice and doing the right thing are two different things...

This is one of those situations where because of the laws in the state of Pennsylvania, Nate Marquardt is gonna have to man up and come out and tell the world why he didn't pass his medicals. He's gonna have to man up and tell the world why he didn't pass and when he does, I think everybody will understand why he was cut from the UFC...

I dunno. You guys see when Nate Marquardt decides to come out and talk to every body and if he does or if he doesn't. Whatever happens, I know there's always things out there about me where I can be too whatever but if you really look at how I've treated people and treated fighters over the last 10 years, I give a lot of guys chances and I know that everybody makes mistakes and Nate Marquardt has been one of those guys.

So for me to come out and say that he's never gonna fight in the UFC anymore, it's gotta be pretty serious. It's not because Nate and I had some problems, you know? Otherwise, if that was how I felt about Nate Marquardt, would he be headlining a show on Versus? Would he be in the position he's in in Welterweight or Middleweight division? No. I've had a good working relationship with Nate Marquardt.

Marquardt is expected to release a statement tomorrow.

i wanna know so bad!
