Nate Marquardt Would Go Back to Middleweight to Fight Michael Bisping
Bleacher Report’s Jeffrey McKinney:
Although Nate Marquardt may make his move to 170 a permanent one, a fight with Michael Bisping could make him move back to middleweight.
Marquardt told MMA Junkie Radio that although he felt he could be champion at middleweight, his natural weight is 170 lbs.
“I feel like I could hold the title at 185 lbs, but for me, it’s more of a natural weight to fight at 170,” Marquardt said. “If I ever did go back to 185, I wouldn’t put on extra weight on purpose. I have more energy for practices. I just feel better.”
Bisping was called out by many fighters including Marquardt, after his fight with Jorge Rivera.
