“The fight that makes sense to me is with the Wanderlei Silva. I have a lot of respect for him, but I've wanted this fight for years”, said Nate in an interview with the English magazine Fighters Only Magazine.

“Wanderlei is a very aggressive fighter. I will hunt him down and then knock him out! I promise the UFC, Dana White, my fans, my team, and most importantly myself that there will never again be any question about my aggressiveness inside the cage”, he said.

Despite Marquardt's request, the fight against Wanderlei Silva It shouldn't happen soon, as the fighter is recovering from a knee injury and should only return to action in March of next year.
