Nathan Marquote (or whatever his name is)
WTF is this dude all about?
Before the fight, he puts himself ABOVE Ken Shamrock, Frank Shamrock and Bas Rutten and then goes out and fights like a damn girl.........
He fights the entire fight as if he were WAY ahead on the judges cards. Did someone forget to tell him that this was his UFC debut?
And also, it looked like an "off-night" for Salaverry.
I think he is a much better fighter with Maurice in his corner!
BTW, where was MO?
Nate is a stud
But both fighers share equal blame in how boring it turned out to be
Too evenly matched
Ivan didn't want to do more than exchange...he didn't want to even be there...
shameful fight

He put himself in the same class as those people listed about being that he is ALSO a KOP. Not that he was overly impressive but Ivan held him in his guard with a figure-four lock for a long long time resulting in several stalls and stand-ups. Stalling is at best equal fault to both fighters, if not more the fault of the fighter on the bottom. At least
Nathan looked "more" of a fighter in there. Boring fight, yes indeed, but I also attribute that to Ivan's unwillingness to mix it.
Nate's got it all. Depends on the opponent. Franklin or Tanner would both be good match ups for Nate.
They come to fight. Tonight, Ivan did not.
I totally disagree.
Ivan Salaverry is the UFC vet.
Nathan Margarette is/was the "new" guy coming in, and all he talked about was what he was gonna do and how he was gonna do it and then he goes out and doesn't do jack.
I don't care if he is 7-time KOP, or 14-time KOP,
he is the NEW Undisputed Most Boring Fighter in MMA!
that title still belongs to lindland nate will be back he faught smart for his first time in the ufc
Hard to do anything when all your opponent does is circle away from the whole fight, and simply holds on for the standup when on the ground.
Apparently Ivan didn't get his roadwork in today, and decided to use this live fight on national TV as the time to go for a jog.
Great job IVAN!!!!!!!!
when did Lindland ever stalled?
Befor this fight most American fans didnt know who Nate was.
Now they wont remember him cause they all fell asleep.
Definately a missed chance to become a star over here.
He needs to take his ass back to Pancrase
or wherever the Fu%# he came from.
I felt it to be a strategic bout...
Nathan is indeed a stud. Feed one of last seasons TUF 185'ers to him and see what happens. Ivan is awesome and has been on quite a roll however it is difficult to look very good against someone as skilled as Nathan. The fight went as I expected. It was pretty much a stalemate with Nathan having a slight advantage. In this case two great fighters = one boring fight. It happens.
nate was good enough. ivan didnt wanna fite
Styles make the fight, both fighters looked like they were waiting for the other to fuck up, counter punchers...put two of them in a cage and you get what you got...kind of boring pitcher's duel, conversly, put two sluggers in the cage and everybody spooges.
This is what happen when 2 highly skilled fighters are not aggresive. Neither can do much cause their both very skilled and neither had the "instinct" to push the fight.
BTW Nate had some really heavy leg kicks.
LOL also, some girl at the bar i watched the fight fell asleep during it
