|  Marquardt reveals he is off TRT, brands Tyron Woodley a 'boring' fighter
Marquardt reveals he is off TRT, brands Tyron Woodley a 'boring' fighter Quote:
Check out what the former Pancrase Middleweight champion had to say about his absence from MMA and what fans can expect when he steps back inside the cage, as well as the revelation that he is no longer on TRT, on his recent appearance on "The MMA Hour."

"I didn't know if I was going to be able to fulfill my dreams going that route (TRT). I just feel it was so much of a hassle and stress with the commissions and all that, I guess, that the right thing for me to do right now is to choose not to do it. And you know, definitely I've pursued a lot of other stuff to try to help my health and a lot of it's helping. I feel great right now. I'm in really good shape, and that's not something I'm worried about right now. I'm sure there are guys who misuse TRT, but there's also guys who plain out use steroids. Guys are going to cheat no matter what. That's something that you can't get around."
| Ready to get back into the swing of things, Marquardt will have to do so against one of the most dynamic 170-pound fighters in the sport today in Woodley. Despite "T-Wood's" wrestling preference, Marquardt says that he will not be held down:
Quote: |
"We're there to fight, not hold each other on the ground for half-an-hour. I don't know what he can think of for a game plan for me. He's not going to hold me down for five rounds. Is that his game plan, to take me down every round and just hold me down? That's not going to happen. He's definitely a boring fighter as far as other guys who let him hold them down."

At least hes off of it and moving in the right direction. I was always a fan of Nate and I was very disappointed with his whole cheating and being fired from the UFC. I would love to see him redeem himself and work his way back into the UFC.

He could very well be clean now.
I just used an example that is personal to me. I did not mean it as disrespect, but think about what I mentioned. I am not saying you are wrong, but just giving another scenario.
Ah fuck it he probably was abusing the shit, but if he is clean now then he is clean.

For all that hubub he made about needing TRT and that it was crucial to his health; for him to now say that he decided to get off of it and use other methods instead as feels great, this tells me that he was full of shit before.

i just went from not having a problem with Nate to having one.. but then the only person this is going to hurt is Nate... the problem i think with the steroid rule is that guys will find a way around it... there actually is no way to stop it... even the guys that come back just say i don't know what happened act all surprised and then come back a year later like nothing happened.
