Marquardt was offered fight against Bisping

Nate Marquardt has revealed that he was offered a fight against Michael Bisping for UFC 114.

But the fight could not be made as Marquardt is set to become a father around that weekend and did not want to miss 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.

The UFC 114 event is set to be headlined by a fight between Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson and Rashad Evans.
