Nate Marquardt Is Excited to Be Back in the Win Column

December 21, 2015 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

Nate Marquardt spoke with MMAjunkie about his win over C.B. Dolloway at UFC on FOX 17. Check out the highlights:

On getting the win: “It feels great. I’m just really excited. I really believed it. I know I was on a bad run there, but I really feel good in the gym and feel like I could go in there with anyone. Obviously, it came out in the fight today.”

On having been on a losing streak: “A lot of people kind of turned their back on me and stopped believing in me – even close friends from the past. It was definitely tough, but it feels so good now.”

On being back at 185 pounds: “For me, it was a downhill spiral being at welterweight…When you’re dieting and training, you’re not training at 100 percent of your potential. The weight cut the week of the fight, I feel great – and I can see other guys are kind of miserable. … so I definitely feel better at 185.”
