"Ben Askren said it all. I think [Marquardt] is a cheater, but [against] me, he can take all the drugs he wants. I'm going to whoop his ass anyway. I don't see him making [170]. ... He's a natural 185. He's been fighting at 185. At one point he was number two in the world at 185. There's no excuses anymore. Don't say you've got a contract with the UFC because he doesn't have it. He can take the fight and prove everybody wrong."

Looks like Nate going to Bellator is a no-go.
http://mmajunkie.com/news/24396/ceo-...r-bellator.mmaRebney confirmed he and Marquardt, as well as the fighter's representatives, discussed the possibility of a Bellator deal. However, he declined to comment on the specifics of the discussions and wouldn't reveal the exact stumbling blocks. Admittedly, though, it was worth a shot.
"The reality is that it's not often that a top-10 guy is available ... especially when he's coming off a win," Rebney said. "Nate's situation was pretty unique. It's an anomaly for a guy like that to become available, so we had discussions. But it just became pretty clear it wasn't the right fit."
