Lombard: Marquardt can take all the drugs he wants, he still can't beat me

source: sherdog.com

“Ben Askren said it all,” Lombard echoed. “I think [Marquardt] is a cheater, but [against] me, he can take all the drugs he wants. I’m going to whoop his ass anyway.”

Although Marquardt had been scheduled to fight at 170 pounds against Rick Story at UFC Live 4, he has spent most of his career at 185. If he comes to Bellator, Lombard wants him at 185.

“I don’t see him making [170]. … He’s a natural 185,” Lombard said. “He’s been fighting at 185. At one point he was number two in the world at 185.”

Lombard claimed that Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney has already offered Marquardt an immediate middleweight title shot that he declined.

“There’s no excuses anymore,” Lombard said. “Don’t say you’ve got a contract with the UFC because he doesn’t have it. He can take the fight and prove everybody wrong.”

http://mmajunkie.com/news/24383/free-to-fight-again-nate-marqaurdt-thanks-supporters-challenges-those-who-piled-on.mmaLook at Nate firing back at those who called him out. He's calling them all cowards and bullies for taking advantage of his situation. LOL @ him complaining about being kicked while he's down. Guess what, if you didn't cheat, nobody would be saying shit. Unreal that a cheater and roider is getting all defensive and butt hurt that people are calling him out for cheating. This guy makes me sick. Unfortunately, BJ would likely never get a crack at him, but I hope Lombard and Askren do.

Nate beats Lombard and Asskren. On the same night.

What the fuck are you talking about?Chael does not get a pass, he gets made fun of like its going out of style, and Randy and Hendo are 40 and up. Huge difference. And neither had been popped for steroids before they took trt.Nate was busted for steroids, before he was ever on trt, how does that go over your head. Nate also has cheated multiple times before. He punched Almeida in the face after he tapped. Most have never even seen this fight, it was worse than what Daley did too Koscheck. He also fouled Leites twice in their fight and was losing the fight until he started fouling. The piledriver move he did on Thales could have paralyzed the man. And the Palhares fiasco, I cant prove he cheated, but that's real questionable, especially considering Nate is a from a camp where loads of fighters have been accusing them of greasing.It's a landry list with Nate of stuff that is dubious, none of that you see with Randy and Dan. Are you even paying attention son? You can do better

funny how nate takes all the shit but Handy, Phael and Hendo get a pass. why the unfair treatment, is it because he is a christian?

Nate, come back clean and prove to the world you still have an impressive amount of skill.

Yea, get knocked unconscious like Herbert Goodman, Jay Silva, Art Santore, Kalib Starnes. If Lombard's KO lineup had any more can-can's they'd be on a stage with mini-skirts.

Nate vs Lombard would probably be a good fight but Nate wins.

7/12/11 2:19 PM by nastydumpster

This fight would be a fucking snooze fest. Dont believe me? Check out hector's fights. When ever he faces someone thats not a "complete" can, he gasses badly and tries to ride position to victory. This fight would be chael vs nate (without chael hitting him)
