I was going to do an excellent write-up of the MMA Hour interview with Nate Marquardt and his manager, Lex McMahon, but Mike Fagan at Bloody Elbow already did an excellent write-up of it so I suggest checking it out. There is a whole lot of chronology in there. A few key things I got out of it: 1. Nate informed the UFC as soon as he began testosterone therapy. 2. Nate did receive a therapeutic exemption from New Jersey for testosterone therapy related to his fight against Jim Miller. 3. His levels were not in the acceptable range prior to weigh-ins on Saturday but they were on Sunday. 4. Nate found out he was fired via Twitter just like the rest of us. 5. Nate got choked up at least twice during the interview and it made me also get choked up. There is A LOT more to it than just these points so check it out...

It's short and sweet but it's Dana and he says Nate Marquardt has been cut from the UFC. Wow. Dana's comments were: "I'm sure you heard that Nate Marquardt is out. It's true. He failed his medicals. Not only is he out of this fight, out of the main event on Versus, he will no longer be with the UFC." Short and sweet.
