Nate “The Great” is back.
One-time UFC middleweight title challenger Nate Marquardt announced at Titan FC 70 on Friday in Miami that he will be returning to competition at a Titan FC event on Aug. 6. This will be Marquardt’s first fight since November 2017.
Marquardt, 42, was invited into the Titan FC cage in between fights and he cited religion as his main motivation for his comeback when asked why he chose to fight again.
“It’s 100 percent God,” Marquardt said. “Honestly, I’ve been sent here to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and He’s the only way to be saved and our nation is in desperate need right now to turn back to the Lord.
