Former UFC middleweight contender Nate ‘The Great’ Marquardt (31-10-2) posted this statement via Twitter (@NathanMarquardt) on Sunday, apologizing to his fans for not passing the medicals for today’s UFC on Versus 4 event.
Marquardt had been scheduled to face Rick Story in the main event but was pulled out of the fight after failing the pre-fight medicals. ‘The Great’ was shortly released from the promotion by UFC President Dana White.
Still no word on the exact reason for his release but I’m sure it will be a doozy!
