Nate Marquardt's next fight. Who should it be?

[The Taxman]

Guy has 3 in a row including two first round KO's. While there is no shame in getting out struck by Saffedine(frustrating as that fight was for a Marquardt fan) and getting KO'd by two of the heaviest hitters in the whole division, he should get a lower ranked fighter.

Like a fringe top fighter. Like Brian Ebersole or Mike Pyle, etc.

Thoughts? Opinions?

Kos

 

[Augustus Caesar]

Nate Marquardt vs. Thiago Alves would be fun.

 

[joeyjoejoe]

Martin kampmann, he's a high enough profile and he doesn't seem to get any easy fights so why start now?

 

[The Taxman]

Edit.

Nice.

 

[Phrozenspite]

how about get Diego Sanchez to move back up to 170

 

[Augustus Caesar]

Nice.

I forgot Nate was at welterweight for a second.

 

[Victor]

Koscheck or Kampmann

all coming off back to back knockouts

Marquardt already took out Kampmann a few years ago at 185.

Marquardt vs. Koscheck in a "Loser Retires" match should be next.

 

[Tankeray]

Him vs. Seth Baczynski

 

[jjresq]

He should fight Koscheck

Nate Marquardt vs. Thiago Alves would be fun.

This fight makes tons of sense. Sign me up for this.

 

[infamouz ice]

he has been caught for juice twice, please make sure to include this in your thread like every other vitor thread.

i like this. it irritates me to no end that diego is fighting miles jury--he should be fighting established people who have been around the block.

There are a bunch of high profile fights that still make sense for Nate. Kos, Kampmann or Alves would all be good calls.

Seems like forever ago that he took Woodley out. T-Wood would kill him if they fought now.

where the hell is Akiyama? id love to see that fight.

 

[Grappleboxing]

Rematch with Kampmann or maybe a move back to 185?

 

[Elysianwing]

Maia rematch(though Nate doesn't deserve it).

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

Nate Marquardt vs. Thiago Alves would be fun.

Yeee I like that fight

 

[DCarf]

Him vs. Seth Baczynski

This. Why is everyone trying to give him big names. Sorry Nate you are now officially a measuring stick for younger fighters.

Maia rematch(though Nate doesn't deserve it).

if Maia loses to Rory at UFC 170 then it makes sense
