Nate Marquardt and Chael Sonnen have much more in common than a fight at UFC 109.

Marquardt revealed today that he, too, suffers from a testosterone
deficiency for which he took prescribed testosterone and sought a
therapeutic exemption to continue his career.

That exemption, as it turns out, proved to be his undoing at UFC on Versus 4. When Marquardt’s levels of testosterone were too high the day prior to the event to meet the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission’s standards for licensure, he was not medically cleared to fight.
