In the main event of UFC Fight Night 43, former Strikeforce welterweight champion Nate Marquardt squared off against James Te-Huna in the latter’s home country of New Zealand.
In the first round, Marquardt had the back of Te-Huna, and from there he rolled forward and sunk in an armbar, forcing Te-Huna to submit.
Te-Huna has now lost three in a row, all in the first round. It’s unlikely that he’ll be cut, considering he is one of only a few UFC fighters from Australia or New Zealand, but he is going to take a serious drop in his level of competition.
Let’s check out three possible opponent’s for Te-Huna’s next fight.
