On this week's episode, the penultimate Strikeforce welterweight champion, Nate "The Great" Marquardt, joins Phil to discuss making his 170-lb. debut inside the hexagon against Tyron Woodley. Nate talks about moving down in weight, returning to the cage after over a year away, his strategy for Woodley, and what set up that memorable knockout. The former champ also delves into what winning the belt meant to him, how he actually pulled his punch on that final uppercut, and what brought him back to the cage after a five-year retirement.
