Good for Quarry.
He strikes me as a mixture of good person and good fighter, which sadly seems to maybe be a bit of a vanishing breed these days.
Also very cool that Nover and Stout got paid under the circumstances, particularly Stout, who trained for months and lost the opportunity thru no fault of his own.
it is pretty cool
Great job paying both Stout and Nover. Not pad paydays for Quarry and Diaz either with that extra 30k bump. Hope Quarry has a few more fights in him, jchol is right, he seems like a hell of a guy. Once he is finished fighting he should open his own gym, seems like he would be great as a coach/instructor.
He’s got more than one fight in him. One more title run is more like it. If you look at him fight and listen to what this cool, kick a$$ dude says, he’s still hungry and wants a belt shot before he kicks back. Get em’ Nate!
