Nate Marquardt didn’t have to wait too long for the UFC to find him a new opponent, but he will have to wait a little bit longer for the fight to happen. Brazilian fighter Rousimar Palhares is in talks to face Marquardt in August.
The fight is currently in the works, although no bout agreements have been issued or signed at this time. The possibility of the fight was confirmed to MMAWeekly.com by sources close to the bout on Tuesday. Joe Ferraro from Sportsnet first mentioned the possibility of the fight on Tuesday.
Rumors have placed the fight on either the August 7 card or possibly the August 28 card in Boston, but neither has been confirmed at this time.
