You can be sure that when assistant principal Joe Pomfret barks orders in the hallways at Ashfield Middle School in Brockton the students listen.

After all, the professional fighters he trains are all ears when Pomfret speaks.

LAS VEGAS (Jan. 15, 2010) – Despite losing a decision January 2 to Sam Stout, popular lightweight Joe “J-Lau” Lauzon (18-5, 5 [T]KOs, 13 submissions) hopes that his next fight will be this August in UFC’s debut in Boston.

Lauzon, a native of E. Bridgewater (MA), would certainly be a hometown favorite fighting at the Boston Garden. “We’ll see how it goes but I certainly want to fight at home in Boston,” Lauzon said. “I’d like to fight before that, where my fight against Stout was my first in 10 months, but not if it risks fighting in Boston this August.” (continue reading…)

Lauzon-Stout featured on Saturday’s UFC 108 PPV

LAS VEGAS (Dec. 31, 2009) – Exciting UFC lightweight contender Joe “J-Lau” Lauzon (18-4, 5 [T]KOs, 13 submissions), only 10 months after undergoing knee surgery to repair his ACL, enters the Octagon once again Saturday night to fight Canadian veteran Sam “Hands of Stone” Stout (14-5-1, 8 [T]KOs, 1 submission) on the UFC 108 pay-per-view show, live from MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Joe and Dan Lauzon: Hailing from Bridgewater, Mass, the Lauzon brothers will both be fighting on the UFC 108 card. Joe, 25, has been a fan favorite in the UFC due to his lightning-quick knockout of Jens Pulver in 2006 and earning a semi-final berth on The Ultimate Fighter5. Joe will try to continue his trek towards a lightweight title shot by taking on the heavy-handed Sam Stout. Meanwhile, Dan, 21, is riding high on an eight-fight win streak and will be beginning his second UFC stint against Cole Mille. Dan – who was the youngest UFC fighter ever when he took on Spencer Fisher in 2006 at the age of 18 – has big plans for himself in the UFC to move out of older brother Joe’s shadow, hence his nickname and his collar line tattoo, which reads “The Upgrade”.

Believe it or not, the transition from computer wiz to MMA fighter isn’t that much of a stretch. Listen to Joe Lauzon elaborate on his former role, and he may as well be talking about the latter.

“When I was younger, I used to ruin my computers just to see how they worked,” he says. “That way I could learn how to put them back together again. There’s something satisfying about figuring things out or trying to come up with solutions. It’s why I also liked math when I was growing up. I’ve just always loved the challenge of a problem.”

Christmas Day at the Lauzon house centered on fighting rather than the traditional holiday cheer.

Brothers Joe and Danny are both slated to fight in separate lightweight bouts at UFC 108 on Jan. 2 in Las Vegas, which will be the first time siblings have appeared in the Octagon on the same night in its 16-year history. (Matt and Mark Hughes, as well as brothers Dan and Jim Miller, have all appeared in separate events.) The experience of training side by side has redefined the term “brotherly love” in more ways than one.

Joe Lauzon vs. Sam Stout

The Breakdown: The only black magic free bout on the main card, Lauzon and Stout are both lightweights on the rebound looking to strengthen their foothold in the Octagon. While the obvious clash is one of striker vs. grappler, the truth is much more nuanced than that basic assessment.

The more important variable is how Stout’s newfound takedown defense matches up against Lauzon, who will look to get this fight on the mat every second it’s upright. Just watch Lauzon’s match with Jeremy Stephens from Fight Night 17 and you’ll see him pull guard, drop for submissions and generally do anything and everything he possibly can to get the fight in his comfort zone.
