FanHouse Tim Credeur

In a tremendously exciting MMA fight on Spike TV, Nate Quarry beat Tim Credeur by unanimous decision in a hard-fought, back-and-forth battle at UFC Fight Night 19.

In the first round Credeur floored Quarry with a hard punch, went to the ground and got Quarry's back, appearing close to finishing the fight with a rear-naked choke. But Quarry got out of the choke and got back to his feet, surviving the round with a badly bloodied nose. It was a dominant round for Credeur.

In April, Nate Quarry rebounded from the quickest loss in his career with a dominant first-round victory over Jason MacDonald. Now, the heavy-handed middleweight hopes to make it two in a row, but will need to stop the growing momentum of Tim Credeur, who is on a six-fight win streak. The two square off at UFC Fight Night on Sept. 16.

In this FanHouse interview, Quarry (11-3) candidly talks about the Credeur matchup, his disappointment in losing to Demian Maia, why he'd still take the Rich Franklin fight knowing it would end in infamy, and the best and worst parts of being a fighter at age 37.
