A counter right hook wobbled McCrory's legs and as he struggled to shake off the damage, Marquardt perfectly timed a head kick that sent McCrory stumbling. Unwilling to inflict any gratuitous damage, Marquardt strolled confidently away from his rocked opponent and showed that there's an awful lot more fight left in the old dog yet. “A lot of the stuff we trained in the gym happened in the fight,” Marquardt said after the fight. “Tamdan was a lot better off his back. I knew he was going to be good off his back, but that guy is a stud there. I was in trouble a couple times there, but the experience paid off. "He wasn’t respecting my takedowns, so he just kept coming forward, and I knew I had to unleash the right hand. As soon as I saw he was hurt, I thought I would give him a couple fakes and he’d drop his hands.”Nate Marquardt with the walk off knockout against Tamdan McCrory at #UFCPortland. pic.twitter.com/w19qAYjDza
