Nate Marquardt is scheduled to fight in Brazil for the first time on May 14, and fellow UFC middleweight Thiago Santos predicts a quick night for him.
Coming off impressive wins over Elias Theodorou, Steve Bosse and Andy Enz in 2015, the Brazilian fighter expects Marquardt to avoid a striking match at all costs in Brazil, and guarantees he’s ready for whatever "The Great" brings to the table.
"He’s a well-rounded guy, a black belt in jiu-jitsu with a lot of submissions in his record. He has heavy hands too, so I can’t underestimate his striking," Santos told MMAFighting.
