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.

UFC.com: Brothers in Armbars
Posted in: Press
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 Fighter
5. 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”.Read the rest at UFC.com

UFC.com: Solving for Variables
Posted in: Press
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.”

Lauzon Bros Prep for UFC Bouts Side By Side
Posted in: Press
From Sherdog.com…
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.

UFC 108: Main Card Breakdown
Posted in: Press
From Sherdog.com…
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.
