He's most likely going to lose then Rick Story will be a contender
Wow, at the beginning I thought it would be a rough cut for him cause he seemed to be one of the biggest middleweights but it doesn't seem to be a big issue. We'll see how he performs in the cage he's very good but I think Story's style will cause him a lot of problems.
Agree 100% story has what it takes to beat nate for sure...i think the alves fight was huge for him and he will be bringing a lot of momentum into the cage for this fight....
and the winner is Rick Story be Decision!!!!
To be honest, I can't stand Rick Story. He's a ****y douchebag that's turning into another Jon Fitch. He called out Thiago Alves then did nothing but clinch with him and score a few takedowns? If you're gonna call somebody out, at least have the balls to try and finish them.
Nate Marquardt's very well rounded, but his weakpoint is his wrestling. Rick Story's just gonna do to him what he did to Alves. Nothing new here.
I'd like to see Nate champion one day, to be honest. In reality, he flakes under pressure. He lost to Anderson, he blew his shot against Chael, and lost his number one contender spot to Okami. As much as I like him, I just don't see him being champion.
