According to a source in Nate Marquardt's camp, he wasn't cleared by the Pennsylvania Athletic Commission to fight Rick Story tonight because of a medical issue that the UFC was aware about as of Monday, not because of anything illegal.
"It wasn't PEDs, and it wasn't a diuretic, it wasn't anything illegal," the source said. "It was a medical issue that the Pennsylvania Athletic Commission didn't like and that we informed the UFC about as of Monday."
Marquardt is expected to release a statement this morning, but the exact nature of the "medical issue" will likely not be divulged for another week or so, according to his camp. Dana White was angry enough with Marquardt that he tweeted a video saying that not only was he not fighting on the main event, but that he was cut from the UFC. Even with the main event falling apart, the suddenness of the firing led many to speculate that it had do with a problem in his weight cut down to 170 pounds, or for turning up positive for a banned substance.
