That's awesome, I've never gotten to attend a pro event in person. I always liked Nate. Not a huge fan but I always looked forward to his fights. This must be something big, Joe Lauzon tweeted that Nate's weight was on point, which dispells the top rumor as to what happened, and that he heard what happened but that everybody is waiting to say something until the UFC does.
Well I don't know that I would call myself an MMA junkie...just a regular fan I guess. I have been training Jiu-Jitsu for about 10 years under Relson Gracie so I am a student of the game per se. Sounds like a drug issue to me.
I think considering the crazy build-up of what's gonna be announced is it's something maybe more serious. Like hiv or some other crazy disease. Dana didn't come out and bash Nate, I feel like if it was drugs or ped's he'd be trashing him pretty badly right now. He's never handled any situation like this with any tact before. It worries me that something could be really bad wrong

Looks like Nate did something and then dime dropped on himself, heres a tweet from ranger_up:“@Ranger_Up: Got some info on @NathanMarquardt. My opinion: he is an honest, stand up guy who is great for the sport. Raw deal. Don't judge w/o facts.”
I was bummed when I heard the news. But, if Tito Ortiz still has a job, I'm sure Nate will make his way back eventually. And did anybody catch the Strikeforce Challengers on Friday? Ricehouse vs. Couture Jr. was a great fight!

I was working and couldn't see it, glad to hear it was a great fight. Lil Couture seems to be developing into a beast! Good point, Tito hasn't won a fight in ohhhhh 5 years now. I really wanna know what happened! lol
My son AND his wife are MMA freaks !!! So , I get to hear about it non-stop when he is over . He has been into martial arts for the past 11 years ( since he was 12 ). Can't get enough of it . I always had a favorite "hold" I would use on him when he was 16-17 years old . It was called the " I have the car keys hold " . He wasn't able to break that hold till he got his own car !!! Damn that was fun !!!
How bout that Kongo KO? He wasn't impressive at all, but that desperation KO sure was something. I feel bad for HD, that fight probably should have been stopped the second time Kongo went down...just because he ended up winning doesn't change my opinion on that. How bout you guys?
Jesus, I thought Barry was dead there for a second. It was great seeing him come out aggressive as hell, and not tentative like he has before. I just hope he doesn't abondon his new style after getting put out cold like that.

I was glad to see Charlie Brenneman beat Rick Story. I went to high school with Brenneman and his brother. I was also glad to see both of them at least got to fight since both bouts were scrapped earlier in the week.
Lawler Kennedy should be good. My first instinct is to say "poor Tim Kennedy", but then I think back to when Lawler got cold-cocked by Nick Diaz and faceplanted and I remember that anything can, and usually will, happen in a fight with 4 ounce gloves.
im a huge mma fan, i was just wondering who you going for tonight in ufc 132, im going for Cruz, Silva(has to be one of my all time favorite fighters, pure heart) and i think Bader is gonna retire Tito
