Basically after the fight he was complaining. He thought I had something slippery on my legs, so the referee, Herb Dean, wiped my legs with a paper towel and he said he was going to wait for the sweat to dry and if there was grease left over it would leave a mark and there was nothing left over, explained Marquardt. Also, the commissioner came over with his bare hand and checked my legs and said that I was good to go.
Basically I believe what happened was I had a good sweat going before the fight and he felt as I turned out of the ankle lock, it slipped a little bit, and he felt that I had greased or something, so I’m sure that he was a little upset.”
I was very excited for the win, but that kind of took a little bit out of it for me. It was kind of disappointing to try to have to defend yourself over something like that. I’m not a dirty fighter, and I don’t cheat, and I don’t grease.
