Two weeks before his scheduled fight in UFC 114, Dan Lauzon told the Boston Herald that his coaches and his brother Joe Lauzon would not "be there to support me." Reportedly unsatisfied with Lauzon's commitment to training, his coaches gave him an ultimatum requiring that he follow the schedule laid out for him, otherwise they would not corner him for his fight. Joe Lauzon claimed they had clearly outlined what was expected and his brother had fallen short. Escudero defeated Lauzon via unanimous decision.
