Nate "The Great" Marquardt has been with the UFC for six years now. His career has seen many ups and downs since then but at the age of 32, the time that the former King of Pancrase has left is beginning to run out.
Marquardt is attempting to rejuvenate his career by dropping down to welterweight. This move may prove successful should he pass his first test at 170 pounds, the up-and-coming Rick Story.
Should Marquardt beat Story, his position as an elite fighter will again be restored. But should he lose, he will likely go down in UFC history as the organization's most famous gatekeeper.
Thus, UFC on Versus 4 is a must-watch because the very fate of Nate Marquardt and his reputation will be at stake.
