BAD MMA News — Sat, 07 Aug 2021 01:53:51 +0000

After nearly four years away, Nate Marquardt returned Friday and got his first win since 2016. Marquardt (36-19-2) submitted Michael Cora (5-6), a fighter against whom he had more than five times as much experience, with a first-round armbar at Titan FC 71. But it didn’t come without a little adversity. Cora kicked high early, and Marquardt returned with one of his own. A minute in, Marquardt landed a spinning back kick to the body that pushed Cora back. But Cora kept coming forward.
