Title: Nate Marquardt Fired
Post by: GraniteCityDon on June 26, 2011, 03:57:38 AM

The following is from UFC.com:

"Due to late medical licensing issues, Nate Marquardt has been pulled from Sunday's UFC Live main event in Pittsburgh. Stepping in to face Rick Story on the main card will be Pennsylvania's own Charlie Brenneman, and the Cheick Kongo vs. Pat Barry bout has been elevated to the main event slot. UFC Live airs on Versus at 9pm ET / 6pm PT."

Shortly after, UFC.com issued a video statement from president Dana White which announced Nate Marquardt's mysterious release from the UFC. More information as this story develops.

Looks like it was something to do with HRT Nate was receiving.  Had a script for some test and that messed up his fight.

Regardless, bad move IMO to fire him.  Coulda been a great fight with GSP with him at WW.  Bad move to fire a guy in a division that doesn't match up to it's champ.

IF that was true he committed career suicide having 6 weeks to straighten it out and he made the choice not too. Fuck him he deserves to be fired if that's the case.
