I agree with you on all counts, especially that point about September Carrino in your sig.

I always thought Nate the Great looked big for MW but I keep hearing that he started at LW so maybe?

The most interesting part of the article is that he compares his physique to GSP, explicitly mentioning that he talked to GSP about moving down, and THEN said he would like to pursue WW title. I heard that Greg Jackson wasn't in Nate's corner during his last fight and that he's been training more of out of that Grudge facility than Albuquerque. Wonder if GSP and Nate have some understanding about a potential match up in the future. Most interesting.

If he can make the cut, which according to him sounds quite possible...I say give him a test right away to see if the move was correct. Put him in there against Kos.

That would be a great gauge as to where Marquardt would fit in the ww division against the elite wrestlers and aside from his wrestling credentials, Kos is very well rounded and would present a great challenge for Marquardt.
