UFC on Versus 4: PSAC Suspends Nate Marquardt Indefinitely
Bleacher Report’s Todd Seyler:
According to MMAJunkie.com, the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission (PSAC) has suspended UFC veteran Nate “The Great” Marquardt indefinitely.
Executive Director for the PSAC stated that Marquardt failed the necessary requirements to be sanctioned for this evening’s fight.
Provided the opportunity to address the clearance prior to tonight’s main event, Sirb commented on Marquardt’s suspension stating that “He’s been put on suspension. When he (Marquardt) meets those requirements, he’ll be taken off. How long of a suspension (it will be) is up to him.”
Confusion still surrounds the reason for Marquardt’s denial of a license here in Pennsylvania. However, Sirb emphasized that Marquardt knew exactly what was expected of him.
“(It’s) pretty straightforward stuff. You’ve got to meet these requirements, and there’s no ifs, ands or buts about it. Unfortunately, he did not. I felt for the kid. I really did. He knew about it, and I think he was trying,” Sirb said.
