    Wow. Story is only a week past his win at UFC 130 over Thiago Alves and he volunteered to replace Anthony Johnson at the UFC on Versus 4 card on June 26th.

    Story will now face Nate Marquardt in Marquardt's debut at 170 pounds.

    It's hard to believe Story will be ready to fight again after that war with Alves.

    If Story beats Marquartd, he is on a great run. Alvez and Marquard in a month would be crazy.

    Yeah, won't he be pissed when he gets a shot at some interim title if GSP moves up after fighting Diaz.

    Nevertheless, if Story beats Marquardt, I would love to see him and Penn or Fitch for the title.

    Story would have a good chance to beat GSP I think. His chin, his wrestling and his ridiculous size would make him a tough guy for GSP to beat.
