Perennial 185lbs. contender Nate Marquardt picked up his tenth win inside the UFC's middleweight division Saturday night by defeating Dan Miller over three rounds, but despite his success there, he recently told MMAFighting.com's Ariel Helwani that he is considering making a drop down to the welterweight division.
"(Michael) Bisping would be a great fight, I would take that any day," Marquardt said when asked by Helwani what his plan is for his next fight. "There's still a lot of fights at '85 that I want but one thing I talked to my coaches (about) before this fight--and a couple of my teammates, like Georges St. Pierre--we talked about me cutting down to 170, because I was walking around really light, basically at the same weight Georges walks around at. I think it's something that I'd like to try out if it's a good fit, then go for the title there."
