UFC on Versus 4: Nate Marquardt Has Been Released from the UFC
Bleacher Report’s Dale De Souza:
Dana White announced today that not only did former UFC Middleweight contender Nate “The Great fail his medicals in order to compete against Rick Story at tomorrow’s UFC on Versus in Pittsburgh next weekend, but he has also been released from the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Why was he released?
What did he do to fail the medicals?
Did he aggravate Dana White in any way?
Nobody knows the answers at this time, although theories are already circulating without any confirmed statements from any party involved.
Had this not have happened, Marquardt would have been looking at his first fight since a November loss to Yushin Okami at UFC 122 in Germany.
