Nate didnt weigh in at all. no clear reason as to why he was cut.

I hop something clearer as to his dismisle comes out soon for Danas sake it would make him look bad to cut a guy from the promotion simple because he didn't make weight

Nates people said that he was right on weight but nothing else was said.

@klown. i wrote a message to your page on the results for shark fights. 95% sure neer won b/c it said the other guy could not come out for second round b/c of dr. stoppage. this is all from the west texas journal. if its right i went 8-2 with three perfect.

Ive looked at many theories around the interwebz and the one I find the most likely is an undisclosed communicable disease on Nate's part, it seems the most logically to me but i'm dying to know the truth as much as you guys!

Yeah this was disappointing news for me. Nate is one of my favorites and I hope Dana White isn't over reacting.

This is a disaster for Nate and MMA imo.  I need to know a lot more about this, but a straight up cut is very odd considering past fighter transgressions.  Hopefully we'll know more soon!  @Skelliher.. get on the phone and use your sources!

it definitely wasn't the weight..i was pretty sure he was too big from what he looked like a couple days ago but from this video its clear that wasn't the problem. really confusing

I really don't think Dana is overreacting on this one. I know he's somewhat of a short fuse but even he has the common sense to not mess with a main event unless it's something big.

I won't guess on whether he is over-reacting yet or not until I know the definitive reason for the cut.  But, to cut a top 5 MW and probably a top 5 WW... there better be a damn good reason for it... and missing a main event due to "medical" reasons is not good enough.  So, there must be something more to it.

It has to be a last-minute pre-fight disclosure of a relatively benign issue on Nate's part that he has known about for a while. That's the only thing that would justify being cut for failing the medicals. If he has a serious medical condition, I have to believe it would have been handled a very different way.

I could particularly see the UFC being pissed if it's something Nate should have known would have been an issue (like failure to get clearance for test therapy and he disclosed that he is receiving that treatment on a form). I'm inclined to think that it's not something like staph or something similar because it would be hard to pin down when Nate knew he had it and there is always a chance he would have recovered if he had it for a while. I am also not inclined to think it is something like straight-up PEDs being detected because I don't think the test results are available that quickly.

It stands for Erythropoietin. It is used in blood doping to help increase red cell production. Essentially one does blood transfusions. They used to do it a lot in professional cycling to help recover quicker between stages. Forget steroids, if I was cutting a lot of weight right before a fight, thats what I would do.
