Nate Marquardt, a former UFC and Strikeforce fighter, sparked scrutiny on social media for his tweet reacting to a commercial on ESPN showing two men kissing.
"It is not hateful to say that homosexuality, pedophilia, or fornication is disgusting," he added."It’s not loving to be silent when the culture praises things that lead people to Hell . It’s not hateful, but loving to protect children from this world’s evil demented propaganda."
He would later spar with those who dismissed his remarks and was labeled as"homophobic" and a"hateful bigot." Marquardt was a welterweight champion in Strikeforce and fought in the last Strikeforce bout in 2013, where he lost via decision to Tarec Saffiedine.He last fought in 2021 in XXMA 3: Vice City against Valdir Araujo and lost via TKO. He last fought in UFC in November 2017.
Nate Marquardt has his hands wrapped prior to his bout against Vitor Belfort during the UFC 212 event at Jeunesse Arena on June 3, 2017, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He retired after his August 2021 fight against Michael Cora but briefly returned two months later to take on Valdir Araujo. He hasn’t fought since.
