Nate Quarry grew up as a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses, whom he later characterized as a cult which needed to control its members 24 hours a day. Quarry grew up in a sheltered lifestyle and did not even participate in organized sports until age 24, when he first became exposed to mixed martial arts. After a period of self-discovery, Quarry rejected his Jehovah's Witness upbringing, which caused him to become alienated from his family and former friends. He began to associate with others outside of the church, and along the way began to train in mixed martial arts fighting.[1] Eventually, Quarry made his way to Team Quest, out of Gresham, Oregon, where he still continues to train.

Quarry made his professional mixed martial arts debut in 2001, in a match against Drew McFedries, which he won with a TKO in the second round. After compiling a 5-1 record, Quarry was invited by the UFC to participate in The Ultimate Fighter, a reality television show and mixed martial arts competition featuring up-and-coming MMA talent living and traning in seclusion with the UFC. On the show however, Quarry had to drop out of the competition when he suffered an ankle injury during practice, which would have required six weeks to heal. He was asked to stay on as an assistant coach.

Quarry made his UFC debut on The Ultimate Fighter finale card, where he defeated Loudine Sincaid by TKO. He won his first two fights in the UFC, all first round stoppages, and was granted a shot at the middleweight title at UFC 56 on November 19, 2005. The middleweight champion, Rich Franklin won the fight via knockout in the first round.

Quarry has not fought since his knockout defeat due to numerous injuries. After his fight with Franklin, Quarry had a successful surgical procedure on his back in June 2006.[2] In the news segment of his website, he reports that his back and nose have since healed, and that he is back in training.[3]

8 wins (5 KO's, 2 submissions, 1 decision), 2 losses (1 KO, 1 decision), 0 draw.
