A lot of people are blasting his loser performance last night, but doing so really diminishes the fact that Tarec really fought a great performance last night. Furthermore, while Melendez and Rokhold faked injuries to ensure their spots in the UFC with pricey purses and good fights, Marquardt stepped up to take a fight against a good fighter. And honestly he was basically the only favored fighter last night to take a fight against an opponent with potential to beat him (save KJ Noons and Ryan Couture).
