Den före detta UFC-fightern Nate Marqaurdt (31-10-2) har signat ett avtal med BAMMA (British Association of Mixed Martial Arts).
Marquardt blev stoppad från att gå match mot Rick Story på UFC on Versus 4 efter att ha visat för höga testosteronvärden. UFC sparkade honom strax därefter. Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission har nu tagit bort avstängningen på Marquardt och BAMMA var snabba att teckna ett avtal med honom.
I ett uttalande säger Marqaurdt på MMAJunkie:
”Now that my suspension has been lifted and I’ve found a home with a new fight promotion, I can move forward and turn my focus back to my fight career,” Marquardt stated. ”This has been an extremely difficult time, and I’m very thankful to those who stood by me.”
”I’m looking forward to getting back to fighting, and there are some guys out there that I would definitely like to get my hands on. I’m talking about the fighters that kicked me while I was down. BAMMA is known for signing top talent, … so I may just get my chance.”
”Offers came in from several fight promotions, but we felt that BAMMA was definitely the best fit,” Marquardt stated. ”They put on high-quality shows, stack their cards with top-level fighters, and sign those fighters to multi-fight deals. They are also the only fight organization in the U.K. that implements PED testing. To be honest, that is one of the main reasons that we chose BAMMA. I want to prove to my fans and to the world that I’m the real deal and that I belong on top.”
