Just thought I would pass this on to all the bandwagon haters of Nate Marquardt..He is back and for real as his 2nd and 3rd tests have come back negitive and the NSC has said they made a mistake in this case with Nathan's test..He was clean 3 months before the fight,and after fight test mistake and he comes up positive,3 days later he was negitive from an outside testing group AND the nsc...
So to the top for Nathan--Dana give Nate a fighter that wants to fight and not circle and dance all night...I know Ivan is a stud yet he ran from Nate all night and I know he would love to have that fight back although he would get ko'd or sub'd...Nate is the real deal and sik in all aspects of the game,so I cannot wait to see a fighter attack him and than people will see what a monster he really is...

Jem,what's Nate suppose to do?He pushed the fight ALL night and Ivan circled out..The biggest fight of both their carrers and Nathan moved forward all night,why would Nate or anyone for that matter rush in because the other guys is running and get caught by a punch or bad position when you are winning a boring fight?You do the Math..
This post was to let everyone who came on here and burned him at the stake knows he was'nt on anything illegal and a mistake was made that tarnished his rep to these folks..Nate is a class act and one of the best fighters in the world at his weight...Peace

I for one am glad to hear his tests came back negative. I like Nate and Salaverry usually but that fight was lame. I do agree that Marquardt was looking for a finish where Salaverry looked like he just didn't want to lose.
Source? I hope its true I've been a fan of Marquardts for a long time. I would like to see him fight Leben then Quarry. I think the Quarry match up would be pretty interesting.
Keith Kizer, the Chief Deputy Attorney General for the state of Nevada, has informed MMAWeekly that the Nevada State Athletic Commission received erroneous information about Nathan Marquardt's steroid re-test, and in fact Marquardt's re-test came up negative for nandrolone metabolite and all other anabolic steroids.
Think about this. Pancrase wouldn't have kept Marquardt under contract for over 5 years if he was a boring fighter. He was one of their most exciting fighters, the subjust of numerous Pancrase TV specials featuring the most brutal KO's, submissions, etc. It's one of the main reasons he was signed by the UFC. The UFN fight was a fluke.

Hey, genius. Horn was moving forward all night last Saturday too. Hmmm...should Liddell get fired? I mean, he didn't win in spectacular fashion.
Anybody who says the fighter moving backwards is stalling is a fucking idiot. Please, if you feel this way, I will pay for your vasectomy if you don't qualify for take charge @ planned Parenthood. I will also talk a doctor into doing it for you if you're too young. (They might be moved by the fact that you think a fighter not taking the center of the ring is stalling)
Yeah, I should call Ernesto Hoost and let him know that he's stalling in every one of his fights.
