METAL ON METAL Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Its not to do with the cut, MMAFighting were filming him whilst he was cutting weight and they say he was on weight and that the issue is completely unrelated to the cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryko Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 If it was about the weight, Dana would have said it was about the weight, but apparently the medical team have said they're keeping it private and Dana White has declined to talk about it. As someone else has said, it could be something like Hepatitis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that himself too, so that is very true. It is very odd. More will come out regarding this in the next 24-48 hours I hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They found the injury in the medical and told him he couldn't fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Dana was pissed at Nate already after the Okami fight, it could just be that it's the second main event in a row that Marquardt's fucked up, which is bad for the business.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted June 26, 2011 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 26, 2011 Man this is sa strange situation. Â Like swift said I'm guessing Nate had an injury and hid it until the pre fight medical checks. Failing that and fucking up the main event 24 hours before the show would piss Dana off royally. Â Reminds me of the way Parisyan was let go a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted June 26, 2011 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 26, 2011 I was really hoping they'd bump Griffin/Gamburyan to the main card when I saw Nate was out. I'm not gonna be able to stream the prelims tonight and that fight is actually the one I'm most interested in. Have to find it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted June 26, 2011 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 26, 2011 Predictions for tonight?  Cheick Kongo vs Pat Barry I am rooting for Barry but I see Kongo winning this pretty easy. If he wouldn't stand with Paul Buentello and Heath Herring he's not gonna stand with Barry. I'm expecting Kongo to clinch up, knee the spuds a bit, takedown and TKO with elbows and punches. Barry's not shown enough improvement in his grappling for me to think he can keep it standing.  Kongo TKO Round 1  Rick Story vs Charlie Brenneman Last minute change a lot of times favours the underdog if the past is anything to go on. I still fancy Story to win this one though. Brenneman's got the wrestling to make it hard on Story but I think Story will overwhelm him with aggression and finish him. Brenneman got TKO'd by Johny Hendricks and Story has a similar style to Hendricks. I see it going the same way, especially with Story being in such form lately coming off beating Alves.  Story TKO Round 2  John Howard vs Matt Brown This is a tough call. Both guys pack some decent power in their strikes. But on the ground I'd give the nod to Howard. Brown's not bad at submissions but he's had a habit of getting caught in subs himself, infact his last 3 fights were all submission losses. Think this might be the best fight on the main card.  Howard Sub Round 3  Matt Mitrione vs Christian Morecraft This is a pretty evenly matched fight on paper. Meathead's had some good performances, especially the win over Joey Beltran. I actually like Morecraft in this fight though. He's bigger, younger, slightly more experienced, more well rounded imo. His only loss is Stefan Struve and he was giving Struve a rough night before he got KO'd. He probably has the advantage on the ground and I think he'll exploit that.  Morecraft Decision  I'm hoping for Tyson Griffin and Joe Stevenson to pick up wins too. I think both guys could be good at the weight and bring some name recognition to the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry's not shown enough improvement in his grappling for me to think he can keep it standing.  But hasn't Barry spent the entirety of his camp for this fight at Lesnar's Deathclutch gym? Can't help but feel his wrestling, takedowns and his takedown defense will have improved tenfold if that is indeed the case.  Saying that, I also think Kongo will edge it - despite me wanting Barry to win.

Apparently there is gonna be something regarding it on the pre show, and I read on Twitter that the doctor who did the medical is talking about it at some point in the day too.  Matt Mitrione has been awesome since he left the TUF house. I'm all for a meat head win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
