UFC 158: Nate Marquardt to Fight Jake Ellenberger

Nate Marquardt

Marquardt vs. Ellenberger at UFC 158

Last night, we found out that Johny Hendricks, Jake Ellenberger's original opponent for UFC 158, would be replacing an injured Rory MacDonald to fight Carlos Condit on the same card.

Stepping in for Hendricks will be former Strikeforce welterweight champion and UFC veteran Nate Marquardt. Marquardt, 1-1 at 170 lbs, will look to rebound from his upset at the hands of Tarec Saffiedine and his brutal leg kicks at the promotion's final event last month.

His last fight in the UFC was a middleweight bout against Dan Miller in March of 2011 which he won by unanimous decision.
