Does this look like a guy that can make 170 pounds?

Well, that is the future for former UFC middleweight Nate “The Great” Marquardt.

After losing two of his last four bouts, Marquardt has decided to move down to the UFC welterweight division where he will debut against Anthony Johnson at UFC on Versus 4 on June 26 from Pittsburgh, Penn.

Marquardt was one of the bigger middleweights in the division and strength was something that was always a positive for him in his fights.

Now, Marquardt will be a massive 170-pounder that will pose problems for anyone, including current champion and teammate, Georges St. Pierre.

The key will be for Marquardt to make the weight, as that first weight cut will probably be a test of his will.

On the other side of things, the UFC on Versus 4 card is looking pretty impressive considering it is on free TV.

Aside from the Marquardt vs. Johnson main event, the card is also slated to have a heavyweight clash between Cheick Kongo and Pat Barry, a welterweight showdown between Martin Kampmann and John Howard, and another heavyweight collision between Matt Mitrione and Christian Morecraft.
