Nate Marquardt to Appear on the MMA Hour Today at 1:00 p.m. ET

Nate Marquardt, the former UFC middleweight contender was set to make his welterweight debut on Sunday, June 26 against the up and coming Rick Story.

Hours prior to the weigh-in, news broke that the former middleweight title contender had been scratched from the card.

That news was quickly followed by a Twitter video post from UFC president Dana White. White said that not only had Marquardt been scratched from the card, but he had been released by the UFC.

Marquardt has been silent on the subject of why he was released from the UFC and what his plans are for the future.

One question that has been bandied about as of late is exactly why Marquardt waited until Tuesday to discuss an incident that occurred on Saturday afternoon.
