When you fail to qualify to compete for the main event of a UFC event, president Dana White is not going to be happy about it.

Nate Marquardt found that out on Sunday night, as he did not pass his medical exams and was immediately kicked out of UFC by White.

"I think it's pretty clear to the fans and to everybody else that I'm pretty disgusted with Marquardt," White said on the Versus telecast of UFC Live 4. "He's been cut from the UFC. He won't fight in the UFC ever again."

White said that he wishes it were possible for the medical records to be released, but given the circumstances, he expressed a hope that Marquardt would explain himself to the public.

"Nate Marquardt is gonna have to man up and come out and tell the world why he didn't pass his medicals," White said. "And when he does that, I think everybody will understand why he was cut from the UFC."

Marquardt said on his Twitter page that he will be addressing his situation on Tuesday.
