Well that was quick and painless.
Nate Marquardt has been released from his BAMMA contract. He requested the release and it was granted immediately. This means "The Great" accumulated an outstanding record of 0-0 in his time with the promotion.
MMAFighting.com helps us out with some of the details:
According to Marquardt's manager Lex McMahon, the UK-based BAMMA has agreed to release Marquardt from his contract following the organization's decision to delay their ninth event from Feb. 11 to March 24. Marquardt was scheduled to fight Yoshiyuki Yoshida in the main event of BAMMA 9 for the organization's welterweight title.
This marks the second time BAMMA has delayed Marquardt's promotional debut, as he was originally scheduled to fight for BAMMA in December.
Can't blame the guy for not wanting to wait around for a fight any longer. After all, he hasn't competed professionally since March 19, 2011, when he earned a unanimous decision victory over Dan Miller at UFC 128.
Speaking of the devil, this opens the door to the return of the "Bring Back Nate" campaign, initially started in an attempt to convince UFC President Dana White to forgive Marquardt for his transgressions and allow him back into the world's largest fight promotion.
Possible? Sure. Likely? No.
If you remember, Marquardt was released after it was determined his testosterone levels were too high and he was pulled from the UFC on Versus 4 main event just one night before it was scheduled to go down. A sh*tstorm ensued and White angrily released him from the promotion, claiming we would never see him inside the Octagon again.
Time heals all wounds and all that, so stay tuned for any updates on Marquardt's mixed martial arts (MMA) status.

I'd like to see Nate back in the UFC
He screwed up like I dunno the dozen or more others that still fight in the UFC.
So he cost them some money, he’s also made them money.
He deserves to be there based on draw and ranking.

fuck woodley
I can’t stand anyone who hangs out in guard/half guard for 3 rounds and does nothing the entire fight.

Not supporting. Read before you respond
Your stupidity is Shocking.
I hate t wood truth be told
Figure out who is more worthy of a title shot at 170 in strikeforce and then articulate your thoughts in an intelligent manner and then maybe I’ll repect what you say
But for now all I see you wrote is dumb bullshit on every thread that doesn’t add to the discussion at all. It’s worthless and a waste of everyone time.

No one in strikeforce at 170lbs deserves a title
Being a champion of any division in strikeforce aside from LW is a complete joke
saffedeine v marquardt is 10x exciting than woodley v anybody.
just as deserving.
Danago likes the REEM JOB.
Wow your dumber then I thought
Woodley just beat saffiedine Like a year ago
But yet he’s more deserving? Keep trying for that first intelligent post

He beat two average guys
That’s enough for a title shot over the guy who beat him for three round? I’m actually starting to wonder if your a little retarded? So I’m sorry for calling you a moron. Clearly something isn’t right In your head

I know....
but he didn’t impress anyone unless they were looking for an impression of a blanket….
MMA is a sport where winning is more important than how you looked winning. But at the same time, fans will stop tuning in if all a fighter does is bury their face in their opponents chest and throw pitter patter punches to avoid a stand up.
I understand your point though.

I think he would let him get back under zuffa but for strikeforce only. That be a good fight because marquardt would put pressure on that boring mofo….well I’d hope so
by zesotheclown on Jan 13, 2012 2:54 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
God no. Woodley has been proving me wrong everytime he is boring as watching snails race but the guy keeps winning. I’d hope if they were to fight marquardt would come out and put the pressure on woodley and take risks. All the pure strikers woodley fights are afraid to throw power shots because he will shoot in on them shit I would take the chance to knock him out even if I knew he would take me down
by zesotheclown on Jan 13, 2012 3:02 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Yeah
However I’d take t wood all day.
1 because marquart can’t deal with a wrestler
2 because marquart chokes worse then tony romo when the pressure is on

Yea but I’d go for nate because I wouldn’t root for woodley I know its dumb but how can any true mma fan root for this dude he plain and simply doesn’t fight he just hugs. He makes fitch look like a fighter because fitch will once in awhile try to finish but woodley just hold on to the guard position and hopes he can maintain it for the whole fight
by zesotheclown on Jan 13, 2012 3:05 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Haha I hear you
Id root for neither lol. I’d hope for a no contest lol
I don’t really like either of them
I agree with woodley being worse then Fitch tho

They but dumb to try because they lost most of their good fighters even if they hadn’t had guys go to the ufc is only would but a strikeforce ppv if for example it was the hw gp and it was overeem vs Fedor or change out either dude with barnett. And if it had atleast one other title fight then yeah I would purchase it but its too late for that and plus I doubt they would have put something like that together even if they had those guys.

Lombard vs Falcao.
Marquardt vs any of Bellator’s top WW’s.
"We mortals are but shadows and dust..."
Arlovski : Kang : GSP : Rampage : Lytle : Huerta : Stout: Quarry : Serra : Wandy : Pulver : Alvarez : Lombard
(¯`i´¯)´·¸.)‹^›
Not necessarily better matchups...
just interesting ones, IMO.

no he wouldn't
Hector is really really really really overrated… at least that’s my opinion
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
I don't think so man. Great power, JJ Black Belt, Judo Olympian and trains at ATT with a good team
The guy is a beast and is underrated if anything in my opinion.

people call Fedor a can crusher
he’s fought both shit and good opponents
but who has Hector fought to be considered so good? and I’ve never been impressed with anything I’ve seen. His credentials are certainly impressive though
"I am the tomato can that crushed your champion, live with it."
He was Brian Ebersoles last loss, who went 10:0 since then and is in the UFC now.
But yes, of course his level of competition is not great. I’d love to see how he does against the UFC MW’s.
Him vs Palhares would be fireworks.

Yeah Nate wants not part of Hector hes made that shit obvious
Bellator was obviously interested in having him fight Hector when he first got released clearly NAte has no intention of doing so.
