"That distinction of nate matquardts next organisation belongs to U.K. promotion BAMMA, who announced the acquisition on their website. The promotion has run six shows thus far and has a seventh scheduled for September 10th from the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham England.
No date or opponent were announced for Marquardt's debut fight, nor was which division he would be competing in. He spent his entire UFC career at middleweight, but was set to drop down to 170 and make his promotional welterweight debut against Story before his suspension. He has stated his desire to continue his career at welterweight."
For me, Marquardt is probably the biggest name bamma have had and a match up with paul daley would be probably the highest profile fight possible for him. However, daley is fighting in next couple of weeks so not sure if that even be possible for a couple of months, but with how poor ufc 138 is shaping up, bamma with marquardt in it could actually be better viewing than most of the fights the ufc are kindly "stacking" 138 with.
