Nate Marquardt Nate Marquardt suffered his fifth defeat in his past six fights when his coach called off his UFC 188 contest with Kelvin Gastelum between the second and third rounds. The sight of an exhausted Marquardt (33-15-2 MMA, 11-8 UFC) on the stool, struggling to tell longtime trainer Trevor Wittman that he had “nothing left” after two rounds of Gastelum’s (11-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) offense, was an image some believed could have marked the end of his UFC tenure. It remains to be seen if the organization opts to release the former middleweight title challenger after a 1-4 record (including three stoppage losses) in his past five fights. However, Marquardt doesn’t believe he’s going anywhere. He wrote in a statement on his official website that “God has a plan for me and it’s in the UFC for sure from what he’s shown me.” Should “The Great” be granted another UFC bout, he hopes to experience far less issues in the days leading up to the fight compared to what he dealt with at UFC 188
