Joe Lauzon will Move to Hawaii
The Ultimate Fighter 5 semifinalist Joe Lauzon is eying a new place to call home, at least temporarily, according to The Patriot Ledger. Lauzon will likely be moving from Massachusets to Hawaii this fall or early next year.
Many may be wondering why Lauzon would consider changing anything in his MMA routine after his recent string of success. Boasting a 15-3 MMA record Lauzon debuted in the UFC last year as a major underdog against Jens Pulver but defeated the favorite just 48 seconds into the first round via TKO. He continued to impress in his next UFC fight, defeating Brandon Melendez last month on The Ultimate Fighter 5 finale with an impressive second round submission.
The reason Lauzon will be moving to the Aloha State is not a why but a who. His name? B.J. Penn.
Penn, who served as Lauzon’s coach on The Ultimate Fighter 5, is one of the UFC’s top lightweight fighters and a very skilled mixed martial artist. Penn came up short in three previous title fights failing to defeat Jens Pulver for the lightweight title and Matt Hughes for the welterweight championship. He fought to a draw against Caol Uno and the lightweight title was not awarded. He did successfully win the UFC welterweight championship in 2004 but left the organization before his first title defense and was stripped of the title.
Whats do you guys think. will this make joe a better Fighter all around or What?? Thoughts
This will make joe even more of a threat in the LW division.. I can't wait ..
