In the sweepstakes to replace Rory MacDonald at UFC 158 in his fight against Carlos Condit, Tyron Woodley has officially finished second -- which unfortunately awards him absolutely nothing. Not even a 36-second KO against Jay Hieron could grant Woodley another shot inside the Octagon against a top-tier welterweight. Granted, Marquardt did knockout Woodley last year at Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Kennedy so when MMA math is applied, the decision by ZUFFA to peg Nate Marquardt in against Jake Ellenberger does have some merit.

However, I'm still anticipating when Nick Diaz misses a UFC 158 press conference and Dana White demotes him to the undercard and gives Johny Hendricks the title shot. Knock on wood, of course. Check out what Nate Marquardt tweeted just moments ago regarding his newly acquired fight.

I remember Dana White going off on Nate Marquardt after he backed out of a main event fight last minute (because his testosterone levels where way too high). Dana verbally DESTROYED HIM & RELEASED HIM FROM HIS CONTRACT in the most humiliating way possible. He made a video about it. During that video he was on fire, saying Nate Marquardt would never fight in the UFC ever again & what a disgrace he is etc etc... blah blah blah... Well here we go again, Welcome back Nate Marquardt. LOL friggin joke this is...

What? A man can't change his mind again and again? And again?

That's just Dana flip flopping again. He's had a history of it. I wouldn't be surprised to see Paul Daley back at some point.
