Wish someone would say why he failed the medicals. Im getting MMA Blue Balls..
Agreed, Sick of hearing all this shit talk and don't know what he even did.
yeah same man, maybe he should take a leaf out of thiago silva's book and admit it. all being silva probably wouldv said nothing had he not got caught but he accepted his mistake and owned up to it. in fairness though i think the kongo vs barry main event put the marquardt suspension to the back of alot of peoples minds for now
Probably weed.
think so? wouldv thought weed wouldv given him the munchies which wouldv ****d up the weight cut? lol....then again i dont smoke it so i dont know...
Dana said he always gives people a second chance. Has Nate had a relapse on the steroids?? What other mistakes has Nate made which may have been repeated and led to Dana feeling disgusted and the UFC binning him?
Odesa, Nate has tested positive for PED's before; in his first fight for the UFC, I believe. But whether or not this is the issue regarding him being cut it still unclear. From what I've gathered the only one who can disclose this is Nate himself, as based on the health law/legislation in Pennsylvania only he can do this, guess we'll have to wait and see.
Hi Jamie,
Thanks for the excellent feedback!
its a steroid issue and marquart camp forget to cycle the drug and get caught ive never seen dana piss like this before
if its only a steriod issue, than i dont understand why chael sonnen ist still in the UFC?!
Reading between the line's it's probably not just steroid use, however he has tested positive for steroids before so that alone would make this situation different. I like everybody else just wanna know what really went down.
its the 2nd time diff is that it was caught before the fight and dana and zuffa didnt gain anything while investing prefight ads and more.
marquardt is a junkie haha
Nate has AIDS? Can't have AIDS blood gettin on other fighters...
its not AIDS the condition was treatable he just needed a note from his doctor to get cleared
It can't be PEDs, I mean almost half the UFC roster has been caught at one point or another (Thiago Alves, Chael Sonnen, Thiago Silva, Sean Sherk, Shane Carwin, etc) and Dana has appeared very lenient in the past.
My guess is something very illegal like hard drugs, or very unethical like an STD. I'm dying to know either way.
If it turns out to just be PEDs, I'm gonna be pissed. I mean Stephan Bonnar, the guy sitting next to Dana has been caught with Boldenone, and if Dana fired Nate for that? Dana will lose a lot of credibility in my book. Whatever little credibility he had in the first place I mean.
If it is PEDs than this is Nates 2cnd time being caught with them, Bonnar was caught ONCE don't think he or ne other fighter would get away with it twice.
The way Dana talks about him i think Marquardt has somekind of Hepatite or something and he hasnt informed UFC about it that would be disgusting... Thats not so unusual in professional boxing.
it would be a huge healt risk for both fighters
Spill it moneybags I wanna know what he did
Stop with the armchair quarterback theories already, I am sure we will know by day's end what is going on.
