Nice article about one of my favorite MMA fighters.
Joe Lauzon may be fighting in the UFC at 50 years old and we’ll still think of him as the fresh-faced kid from Boston who turned the idea of being the sacrificial lamb on its ear when he knocked out Jens Pulver in less than a minute back in September of 2006.
He was 22 years old then, and on the van ride back to the hotel after scoring the upset of the year over the former lightweight champion, Lauzon wasn’t plotting an afterparty and a long vacation. He had to be back to work on Monday for his IT job, so all he wanted was a good night’s sleep before the cross-country flight home from Anaheim the next morning... |

He reminds me of Leben with his attitude. Takes a few too many shots. Over the years w 4 oz gloves that shit takes a toll.. Punches even in practice add up. At some point I look at the Nog brothers and Wandy and can't image the daily pain they deal w. They look ancient. Lauzon is a warrior in there.
Right now Kabib Bendo Cowboy and Petits are all ranked Above him for sure.
Dos Anjos is clearly juicing... Glad to see he's finally getting called out by the rest of the LW division...
So, what did you guys think of the rest of the card? For a free show, I thought it was pretty damned good.
A healthy Dominick Cruz vs Dillashaw would pretty awesome...
Cruz vs him would be great. Crap whom else is at 135 for him anyway? I was thinking Mighty Mouse jumping up to fight him since he's cleaned pout 125 other than another shot for Dodson.
As for the card it was very good. Especially for free. The last three cards have been outstanding. Hope this run continues.
