Yeah, some kind of problem surrounding the weight cut seems likely. Maybe he had kidney/dehydration problems and the doctors stepped in. Or maybe Dana was just so furious about being bullshitted by Nate about how easily he could make the cut that he fired him.

Been reading now... he may have weigh 182. The AC may not have sanctioned it with an 11 or 12 pound difference. I bet the only thing he did was come in super heavy. Don't know if there is any truth to that but makes sense. Dana was probably pissed because Marq came in so fat after telling him he could make it.2012: +19.33

Oh, and my main man @ekc spent the whole day with Marquardt up until the madness. A diary video, if you will. That is also coming later.
I want to see that video.Comment

Huh. I wonder if it was some kind of drug disclosure issue. Like Marquardt tried to say, "Oh, just so you know, I'm taking this and that and the other stuff. No biggie, right?" And the doctors were all, "Fuck, no."Comment

Damn, I liked this story more when Nate was 181. So much funnier that way.2012: +19.33

Just another example of why Bloodyelbow is such a trash site, every single repsectable website/writer is saying its not weight relatedhttp://www.bloodyelbow.com/2011/6/25...ailed-medicals
BOL at Marquart weighing 181. I knew he couldn't make WW.2015 MMA BETTING CHAMP

Update: I'm hearing all over that Nate was not going to have trouble making weight. So that appears out as the cause.
Update II: A lot of asking around has me fairly confident that it is not related to performance enhancing drugs either. Still no word on what's going onComment
