Could TRT become a common issue in MMA?

When Nate Marquardt was pulled out of the UFC on Versus 4 main event last weekend, I was shocked to say the least. I just talked Nate a few weeks ago regarding his main event fight with Rick Story and he sounded like he was ready. He said his cut to welterweight was going well and he sounded more than capable to take the challenge Rick Story would have provided him. Then from left field on the day of the weigh-ins, UFC president Dana White drops a huge bomb, and set the Twitter on fire. He releases a video

UFC on Versus 4 Compustrike Preview: Middleweight vs. Welterweight

According to the good folks at Compustrike this could be a very close affair between Nate Marquardt and Rick Story. Rick Story on the feet seems to be the much more busier fighter with his strikes, while Nate is the more conservative and accurate striker. It’s also very similar in the takedown department with Rick Story being the much more busy fighter in the takedown attempt department, but Nate Marquardt is the more conservative but successful. How will the numbers translate at UFC on Versus 4 this

Compustrike: Strikeforce Overeem vs. Werdum by the numbers

Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum was one of the most anticipated bouts of 2011 and unfortunately the event did not live up to the hype. We’ve all heard the saying “styles make fights” and last Saturday was a perfect display of that. It was clear, Fabricio Werdum wanted to keep the fight on the ground, and Alistair Overeem wanted to keep the fight on the feet. Similar to Anderson Silva’s fights with Demian Maia and Thales Leites (minus the dancing) a big chunk of the fight was spent with Werdum doing the
