I was more than bummed with the outcome of the Quarry vs. Rivera fight, having faith that Nate would pull of a warrior finish but he was beat but I still give him kudos for the amount of absolute heart he has shown in his fights. I know he will be back better than ever and he motivates me to get more into MMA / be tough about any and all situations. He may not be the greatest MMA fighter ever but he has impressive heart and is always fighting as hard as he can for the win. We don’t even see that from every UFC champion anymore. I know there will always be Nate haters ( mostly the fight mafia) but you have to take a step back and realize this guy fights even with a broken face, and never takes the easy way out or quits. I think the UFC needs more no excuse fighters, and guys like him are changing the sport for the better and keeping things interesting. I can’t wait for Nate’s return to the Octagon, I can guarantee it will be exciting and I wouldn’t miss it for the world.

“Got screwed in the face 13 times yesterday! Yep, facial reconstruction surgery. Good times.”

“The whole left side of my face was fractured and hanging at the end of the first round. But there was no way I was gonna end a fight on a stool in my corner.”

“My cheekbones were broken loose and had to be screwed down to keep them in place. Then a mesh made from titanium is laid down with some bone growth material over the top of it. That accelerates the whole healing process. Screws will be permanent. As is the titanium mesh they laid down.”
