Nate Marquardt vs. Thales Leites : Can you say point taken away?
Here’s the bottom line on this fight- Leites landed a hard shot in the first round that rocked Marquardt, but Nate “The Great” fought through the problem. Still, the big punch gave Leites the initial stanza. In the second round, despite dominating the action, Marquardt had a point taken away for kneeing a downed opponent. In the third, he had another point taken away for elbowing to the back of the head, even if it was a seemingly poor call as the elbow appeared to connect with the side of Leites’ head. In the end, Leites showed a lot of heart, even if Marquardt clearly dominated the action. But those lost points hurt Marquardt. Thales Leites wins via majority decision.
