A fight between Nate Marquardt and Michael Bisping was on the cards for UFC 114, but could not be made because Marquardt has a baby due around that weekend and he did not want to be absent for the birth.

They offered me Bisping for May 29th but I have a baby due on May 27th so I turned it down. I don’t want to have any regrets in life, like ‘Man, I missed my kid’s birth,’ Marquardt told today’s Fight Club Q & A session.
