Breaking sports news video. MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL highlights and more.

While we all wildly speculate what exactly caused Nate Marquardt to be pulled from tonight’s card and ejected from the UFC, we can likely eliminate one potential reason. As seen in the NBC Sports video above, the weight cut looked extremely smooth for Marquardt as he made his first drop down to welterweight. Incidentally, his replacement Charlie Brenneman says that he was notified Friday that he may be stepping in to take on Story.

Perhaps the cutting of Marquardt reminded the rest of tonight’s cast just how fickle a UFC career can be, but something seemed to light a fire under the asses of several fighters at yesterday’s weigh-ins. Weigh-in results and videos of tense staredowns await you after the jump.

@Sarij -

It looked like to me Mitrione said..

"You are fucking Dead... your done"

@Horsepower...

Comon buddy .. there are tons of sources

-----

In regards to the fights on Facebook thus far...

Decent stuff... Sick Kimura from Lauzon...

Worst fight is easily Joe Stevenson... just horrid...

Joe put on the worst performance I have seen in a while... simply terrible.
