MMANEWS.COM Staff Writer During tonight's broadcast of UFC on Versus, Nate Marquardt's camp issues a statement regarding Marquardt's failed medicals that forced him out of tonight's main event which then led to UFC President Dana White canning Marquardt and saying he will never fight for the UFC again. Marquardt didn't address the reason behind the failed tests but does say he will speak more on the subject Tuesday: "Nate Marquardt was not medically cleared by the Pennsylvania Athletic Commission at UFC on Versus 4. Nate was looking forward to making his welterweight debut and is disappointed by this unfortunate turn of events. Nate wants to apologize to his family, friends, fans and the UFC. This outcome was certainly not what he wanted. At this time, Nate wants to be with those closest to him so he can evaluate his situation over the coming days."Marquardt's manager, Lex McMahon, indicated that his fighter "will personally be addressing all issues this Tuesday." What do you think the reason was for the failed tests? Leave your feedback on this article by posting a comment directly below!

These are all the fighters who tested positive for steroids in the UFC. More than any other MMA Organizations. It looks like this is a growing epidemic with the UFC. It looks like Dana White it turning a BLIND EYE until they get caught, then he acts like he doesn't know. He wants to be the Vince McMahon of MMA, however he is tarnishing the sport by the cover ups. No wonder they'll never get the mainstream media he would wants.
Like the Boxing or the NFL. OPEN YOUR EYES DANA !!!!!! TAKE CONTROL OVER YOUR FIGHTERS !!! I LOVE THIS SPORT !!!!! HOWEVER IF YOU EVER WANT TO SEE MMA GET THE RESPECT LIKE BOXING !!!! MAN THE HELL UP !!! DANA THERE IS AN OLD MILITARY SAYING " A GENERAL IS ONLY AS GOOD AS HIS SOLDIERS & IF YOUR GOING TO SET THE EXAMPLE BE THE EXAMPLE " !!!
KEEP COVERING UP FOR YOUR FIGHTERS WHO YOU SAY ARE TRUE GLADIATORS & YOU WILL LOSE ALL CREDIBILITY.
REMEMBER WHILE YOUR SAVING YOUR FACE YOUR LOSING YOUR ASS !!!
DO NOT TRY TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT & MORALLY YOUR ARE AS WRONG AS A $3 BILL.
DO NOT SWEEP IT UNDER THE RUG EITHER. CONFRONT IT & BEAT IT!!!
YOU SAY YOU LOVE THE SPORT, SHOW IT BY FIXING THE PROBLEM !!!!
NOTHING BUT LOVE & RESPECT FRANKIE-D
