UFC Fight Night 19 Predictions: The Main Card!

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 09:34:21 -0500

Nate Quarry v. Tim Credeur This battle between two TUF alumni is the perfect opening for this card. Let’s be honest: neither of these guys is ever going to make a run at the crown that Anderson Silva currently has a vice-like grip on. However, it should be interesting to watch these two get in the ring and mix it up. Quarry is famous for being knocked out by Rich Franklin in astonishing fashion in the only title shot he’d likely ever get. Since then he’s 3-1 with the only loss coming to the previously undefeated Demian Maia. The problem is that none of the wins are all that impressive eithier: Pete “Drago” Sell, Jason McDonald, and Kalib Starnes. He’s likely try to keep this fight on the feet and out box Credeur. If he can, this fight won’t go three rounds, and might end in devastating fashion. Credeur is famous for spouting off some words about being a warrior or a samurai or something on season seven of TUF. Oh, and for buying the youthful Matt Riddle a Xbox 360 with his five grand bonus. Since the show, Credeur is 3-0 including his last win coming over personal favorite Nick Catone. If Credeur does win, you could say that he’s earned a little bit better competition, but he shouldn’t move up the ladder too far. In this fight, he has the advantage on the ground with eight submission wins to his credit. If the fight goes to the ground, it won’t go three rounds, and Credeur will walk away victorious. Prediction: Credeur via Submission Carlos Condit v. Jake Ellenberger Ugh. This fight could have been so awesome. It was supposed to be Condit taking on the perpetually crazy/blue collar Chris Lytle, but Lytle got hurt and had to pull out. Instead, we get Ellenberger Continue reading UFC Fight Night 19 Predictions: The Main Card!

Nate Quarry: "I like to go in with as little game plan as possible."

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 18:28:50 -0500

By Gavin Vincent September 14, 2009"I've heard that Credeur's a tough guy. I'm a tough guy too so it should be a good fight. Everything that he's been doing is working out really well for him. He's been showcased in his hands, kicks, in his muay thai and I think were going to have a bit of a stand-up war. I've been doing jiu-jitsu for 12-13 years. I've been around a little bit but I'm not black belt and have been quoted as 'not the best jiu-jitsu guy&#...

Nate Quarry returns to the UFC to fight Pete Sell

Tue, 31 Jul 2007 19:35:03 -0500

After a long lay off, back surgery, grieving over his father's passing, and being kicked off of team quest, Nate Quarry is back in the Octagon on September 19th. Nate has been through a lot since his knock out loss to Rich Franklin, but i think if he wants to make a come back he should do it now, he's got no room to wait. I really liked Nate, i thought he was a stand up guy on the Ultimate Fighter 1 show, and he has an 8-2 record. So that brutal knock out has been the low light of his...
