Rousimar Palhares didn’t even wait until his match with Nate Marquardt was over to accuse him of greasing. Palhares’ instinctive reaction ended up costing him the bout as Marquardt seized the opening left by his protesting opponent to inflict some fight-ending ground and pound.

While Marquardt was quickly cleared by Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation officials, the bizarre ending and ensuing controversy couldn’t help but take some of the luster off Marquardt’s win. But the UFC middleweight star holds no ill will towards the man he beat at UFN 22.

Nate Marquardt Not Concerned With Rousimar Palhares’ Reputation

Nate Marquardt was one win away from realizing his goal of fighting Anderson Silva for the middleweight title again. All he had to do was beat Chael Sonnen at UFC 109.

Of course, things didn’t go as planned for Marquardt, who lost to Sonnen via unanimous decision.

That loss hasn’t necessarily knocked Marquardt all the way down the 185-pound ladder (Sonnen’s performance at UFC 117 might have softened the blow in the eyes of MMA pundits), but in order to remain in the mix, he must get by Rousimar Palhares at UFC Fight Night 22 on Sept. 15.

And believe it or not, Marquardt is walking into this fight with the memory of his loss to Sonnen firmly cemented in his mind.


“I guess I’m still not over the heartbreak or whatever,” Marquardt said on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour. “It still bothers me, but I’m definitely looking forward to my next fight and I feel I’ve learned my lessons from that fight. I expect to go into this fight and execute my game plan, and I think that’s one of the biggest mistakes that I made against Chael.”
