Heh nice try but I don't fall for April Fool Jokes....Wait...It's June...*checks Bloody Elbow*....Well f*** me, put this up with "I never saw this coming". Not Chael Sonnen fall from grace bad but pretty close.

Note: For some reason the Nate being fired news caused commenters to start busting out Anchorman quotes...*shrugs*

I hope this whole situation gets cleared up and Nate finds himself back in the UFC soon.

i'm pretty blown away by all of this, seeing just how big nate looked at the open workouts i can't imagine he had any chance in hell of making 170....he looked huge!! i don't care for dana at all, and this seems like complete overeaction, as much as I'd hate to think that nate was on something that made him fail a test. for dana's sake i gotta hope its something bigger than missing weight that would just make him look worse....lol in my mind anyways

*** is with the Weigh-In video???? I know they weren't gonna stream it live, but they havent archived it yet on UFC.com and It says it was suppost to be available over an HR ago???? Whoever does the Website for UFC is a major lagger....As for Marquardt that really sucks, but to get pulled from the main event on the card because of not clearing medicals, he had to have known sooner and should have pulled out earlier than getting denied THE DAY BEFORE THE FIGHT.... Dana White is a Zero Tolerance for that kind of crap and I knew he would drop the hammer harshly....

Did he say he failed his medical? Does that mean weight loss roids?

I'm thinking you don't get booted from the promotion for missing weight. Alves and Rumble would be gone if that was the case.
There is obviously something very serious going on for them to cut him like he has the plague.

Story will be winning, but not as big as he hoped too, but It will only make him stronger and add another W for his record in the UFC.  I'd rather Story fight a healthy Brennamen than a extremely dehydrated and unhealthy Marquardt

I don't think Dana White takes enough time to think about things he says some times.

WOW, what the hell?  As with most people, I'm absolutely confused... weight issues, roids, etc. what the hell?

Tomas Rios just confirmed that Nat Marquardt was on point for weight via twitter:

"The dude @ekc confirms something I've been hearing from the word go. Marquardt was on point to make weight."

Something was definitely up with his medical than.

Wow this is awful. Nate is one of my favorite fighters. I can't believe he got released. It must have been something very very serious for them to just abruptly release him like that. I highly doubt it was a weight issue. I'm leaning torwards more of some kind of p.e.d.

@kallous, agreed, unless Dana is overreacting to something minor (very real possibility) losing one's job is epically serious... we still need to find out more details
