Nate Marquardt officially has an opponent for his return to MMA for the first time in nearly four years.
Promotional officials confirmed to MMA Fighting on Friday that the former UFC title challenger will face Michael Cora in a middleweight bout at Titan FC 71. The event takes place Aug. 6 at the InterContinental Hotel in Miami and will air on UFC Fight Pass.
Marquardt, 42, is set to compete for the first time in nearly four years after last appearing in November 2017, dropping a split decision to Cezar Ferreira at UFC Fight Night 120.
