Taking full responsibility for the problems that led to his firing over the weekend, Nate Marquardt explained that a high testosterone level caused by hormone replacement therapy (HRT) led to the medical suspension that knocked him from the main event of the recent UFC on Versus 4.

He explained that in August 2010, issues with sluggishness, memory loss and irritability led him to see his primary care physician, who discovered he suffered from low testosterone levels and recommended HRT. Marquardt applied for and received an exemption from the New Jersey state athletic commission for his March 2011 fight over Dan Miller.

The approval though, came with a caveat. After the fight, Marquardt needed to stop the treatment for eight weeks so a New Jersey commission-approved endocrinologist could re-check his levels and make sure his natural levels were indeed low, making the therapy a medical necessity.

In the meantime, though, Marquardt accepted the fight with Story, and attempted to gain HRT clearance in Pennsylvania, the host state of the scheduled fight.

Because of the eight-week treatment absence, Marquardt's levels fell low, and with three weeks remaining to his fight, Marquardt's doctor gave him a testosterone shot to combat the problem. Marquardt's levels were regularly monitored and as he approached fight week, he knew they were high, but expected them to drop to satisfactory levels by weigh-in day.

"The week of the fight I requested several tests," Marquardt said. "Each test showed that the levels were going down. I took a test on weigh-in day, and it was still above the range the athletic commission was going to let me fight."

"But [it was] in close proximity, and it had been trending down significantly throughout the week," McMahon added.

At that point, Marquardt was informed he was not going to be allowed to fight and put on suspension.

Mislim ak je to to, onda je Dana malo preburno reagirao  ja sam već mislio da ima sidu, Sonnen i onaj koji je Veri slomio kost iza oku nisu dobili otkaz a uhvaćeni su sa puno ozbiljnijim substancama od HRT. Možda je ljut što je uhvaćen prije borbe pa ga je koštao novaca i gledanosti, ili možda ima još nešto u ovoj priči što ne znamo.

I još ovo

But as of now, his MMA career remains in limbo. Marquardt said that he took a test on Sunday morning that had him well within the standard to fight. He hopes to be taken off suspension as early as Wednesday, when the Pennsylvania commission members are scheduled to meet and review the most recent set of tests.

znači sad bi se mogao boriti lol, svašta, znači koji dan ga je koštao da ga sad idu mjerit prije borbe prošao bi.

Hmm svašta... mislim da to baš i nije sve. Neznam zakaj bi zbog toga Dana tolko popizdil.

Je, to je bila Marquardtova pressica, kolko znam, Dana još nikakve detalje nije objavil...

Može li mi neko reći koji je razlog da se sada UFC i strikeforce ne ujedine ako imaju zajedničkog šefa? Postoji li superteška kategorija za žene? Hoće li se pobjednike strikeforcova turnira boriti sa prvakom ufc-a???

Strikeforce ima jos nekoliko godina ugovor sa showtimeom pa se ne mogu jos ujediniti sa ufc-om,
Pobjednik turnira ce se najvjerojatnije boriti sa prvakom UFC-a, mada nije nista sluzbeno.
Sumnjam da postoji superteška kategorija za zene XD
