I think Marquardt has been off for awhile. He said in his past couple camps he doesn't struggle to make weight, that's why he considered (and went through) with a fight @ WW.

Here is the full card:
MAIN CARD
- Nate Marquardt vs. Rick Story
- Pat Barry vs. Cheick Kongo
- John Howard vs. Martin Kampmann
- Matt Mitrione vs. Christian Morecraft
PRELIMINARY CARD
- Manny Gamburyan vs. Tyson Griffin
- Joe Stevenson vs. Javier Vazquez
- Joe Lauzon vs. Curt Warburton
- Rich Attonito vs. Matt Brown
- Charlie Brenneman vs. T.J. Grant
- Nik Lentz vs. Charles Oliveira
- Matt Grice vs. Ricardo Lamas
- Edward Faaloloto vs. Michael Johnson
Lentz vs Oliveira is interesting.
Stranger things have happened. He definitely doesn't have the name recognition of Marquardt.
But I just said "if."

I heart cock
Well what do you think the line will be?
2015 MMA BETTING CHAMP
No idea. Maybe even.
Remember that Marquardt has beaten the Alves's of the MW division in guys like Palhares and Maia.
I heart cock
I'll go out on the limb and say Marquardt -130 Story EV
Nope
Nope what?
You're saying that Maia, a former title challenger, doesn't inhabit a role in MW that is generally equivalent to Alves's role?
I heart cock
nope

Oh, the Maia that got KOd, beat Dan Miller, and stepped in as a late replacement for Vitor Belfort so they could keep Anderson Silva on the Abu Dahbi card? Yeah, let's compare that to a guy who went on a 7 fight winning streak and beat 3 straight top 10 opponents in impressive fashion to get a title shot.
Fools.

Okay smart guy, so who are the Alves's of MW?
I heart cock
Oh and let's see.. since 2007 Marquardt beats:
Jeremy Horn ...out of the UFC
Martin Kampmann ...is now a WW
Wilson Gouviea ...the guy with no gas tank and who was 10 lbs off in his next MW fight, and 3 lbs over in his LHW fight in the MFC
Rousimar Palhares...who wasn't even looking
Dan Miller ...lol
Not Horn, Kampmann, Gouviea, Palhares, or Miller
palhares who wasn't even looking. haha
Miller is pretty decent.
Good points though.
Or Maia?
So who? Seriously . . . tell me who would occupy the Alves spot at MW. You didn't like my picks so offer some of your own.
I heart cock
The MW division is thin as hell, so nobody really. If Okami loses to Silva in Rio...then I guess Okami. But even he only had a 3 fight win streak to get to the title. Maybe even Chael Sonnen. There really isn't a "Thiago Alves spot at MW".
I agree, but in that case, you have to at least that someone like Maia or Palhares--or Okami, sure--would be the nearest equivalent.
