QUOTE(#4):

Marquardt pulled out of the fight guys. Charlie Brennaman is replacing him. No word as to why yet.

Because the UFC can't keep a main event lined up!!! 3 out 4 in a row changed!!!!

Cause Marquardt is unprofessional. And for being unprofessional the UFC just rewarded him by releasing him. See ya later Nate. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Yeah because Dana is soooooo Professional???

QUOTE(#14):

He was in this case. Marquardts job is to show up make weight and fight. He failed nad didt do his job. You don't do your job you get fired. That's the way it works.

Really so how many other fighters have showed up and not made weight????

Thiago Alves has failed how many weigh ins and how many drug tests????


What about Sonnen how many drug tests has he failed?

In my opinion failing a drug test is worse than missing weight. Why is it Dana allows certain fighters to fight when they miss weight, but yest cuts others???

There is nothing professional about it. He is trying to save face because his main events have went to crap the last 3 out 4!!!!

QUOTE(#16):

Alves has missed weight a few times but still was able to fight. He never failed a drug test that I am aware of. Sonnen did fail a drug test and was not cut but same with marquardt. Nate failed a drug test before. Whatever it was with nate this time. Tried cutting weight to the point where he was not medically cleared or popped for ped. Whatever it was this was the last strike for him. Failed drug test in the past, always choking in big fights, and now completely screwing over the ufc and the fans.That is completly different that edgar or brock pulling out of a fight for serious injuries that are unavoidable. Nates issue was obviously avoidable. Having his 3rd main event in 4 had nothing to do with him getting rid of nate. Nate being a total unprofessional ass is what led to him getting canned. Simple as that.

So when did anyone start getting the results for PED's instantly? Usually they have to send it off and get the results after the fight.

Alves tested posotive for a diuretic at UFC 66.

So like I said before, this isn't the 1st time a fighter has missed a weigh in. Yet this is the 1st time Dana has cut anyone for it. If the UFC hadn't purchased SF, Nate wouldn't have been cut!

I just threw those two names out there because they were the first to pop up in my head. There has been many others that have missed their weigh in.

Dana is just a d0uche. and if there was another organization out there not owned by the UFC Nate would still be employed.

QUOTE(#17):

Aslo dana doesn't decide who fights when missing weight. The opposing fighter does. And in nates case dana had nothing to do with it. The commission did not clear him to fight. Has nothing to do with dana.

So the real question is why Dana chose to cut him of all people?
