Nate Landwehr reveals devastating tragedy ahead of UFC 310 showdown with Doo Ho Choi

Nate Landwehr has shown the true measure of his character as he gears up for an intriguing featherweight matchup with Doo Ho Choi at UFC 310.

The pair will clash on the undercard of Alexandre Pantoja's flyweight title defense against Japanese star Kai Asakura at the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas.

Of all the fighters on this Saturday's card, Nate Landwehr and Doo Ho Choi are perhaps the most evenly matched, with both seasoned veterans eager to stay in the win column.

Still, regardless of the outcome, Landwehr will likely have one thing on his mind when he steps into the octagon.

Nate Landwehr's wife suffered a miscarriage prior to his fight with Doo Ho Choi

Landwehr has produced a string of compelling displays in recent years, winning Performance of the Night in three of his last four UFC wins.

And yet, while he will always provide MMA fans with great value, the 36-year-old's career took a mini hit when he lost to Dan Ige late last year.

But since then, 'The Train' has responded with a stunning first-round finish over Jamall Emmers, putting himself back in the shop window for another huge opportunity.

Choi, on the other hand, has won just one of his last five outings, with three of his defeats earning him the coveted Fight of the Night award.

But while the two fighters will likely make a fan-friendly move, Landwehr has had to deal with the devastating news of his wife's miscarriage during his training camp.

“It's like a fight, man,” Landwehr told Middle Easy. 'You just have to keep fighting. We had to go through IVF, so they have to go in, they have to strip my wife's eggs and fertilize them.

“So we ended up with X number of viable embryos. We had five boy embryos and one girl embryo.

“We tried to put the girl in there a while ago. She attached herself to it and she just couldn't quite get it done. Her name would be June Marie.”

Who will steal the show at UFC 310?

Given their recent history of bonuses, Landwehr and Choi are poised to steal the show at UFC 310, putting on an all-action battle for the fans.

That said, the card will also feature several more fighters, who have the potential to make a monumental impact on the night.

For example, the welterweight matchup between Shavkat Rakhmonov and Ian Garry will also provide a pulsating clash of styles.

Elsewhere on the card, formidable heavyweight contenders Ciryl Gane and Alexander Volkov were also able to define the evening with an exciting back-and-forth spectacle.
