Nate: “I was robbed twice”

After being defeated by the Brazilian Thales leites, Nate Marquardt complained about the refereeing of his fight against the Nova União black belt. After illegal blows and a lot of complaints from Nate, the fighter sent an email to the MMAWeekly website, where he complained a lot about the punishments suffered and stated that It was stolen twice in London. “The first punishment seems to have been good. I thought Thales was getting up, his posture looked like someone getting up, but his knee was still on the ground. The second punishment was bad, in my opinion. Thales did a single leg and his head was down. My elbow was at a horizontal angle and hit the side of his head, not the back of the head,” Nate complained. “That same night, Joe Rogan told me he let Herb Dean (the judge) watch the replay of the fight from different angles and said which Herb believes was not an illegal elbow when he watched it. If he hadn’t lost the points, maybe it would have been a draw,” he said

In addition to the defeat, Marquardt's room was broken into at the hotel where he was staying: “Our room was broken into last night and my computer, iPod, passport and several other items were stolen. That means I got robbed two days in a row here in London (laughs),” joked Nate
