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.”

UFC lightweight prospect Joe Lauzon heading back inside The Octagon

E. BRIDGEWATER, Mass. (Nov. 18, 2009) – A little more than eight months since undergoing knee surgery, UFC lightweight prospect Joe “J-Lau” Lauzon (18-4, 5 KOs, 13 submissions) is fully recovered and anxious to get back into The Octagon.

Lauzon, star of The Ultimate Fighter 5 television reality show, had ACL surgery and his meniscus repaired on his right knee March 6. He is tentatively scheduled to return to UFC action in early January. (continue reading…)

And no one wants me to go crazy right? Not you… not me… not anyone. So it’s time to get back into the octagon. I was predicting January for a while now and thats exactly when it’s happening.

One of my friends from High School had ACL surgery a few months before I did. He was telling me how his knee is feeling good but the range of motion was coming along slowly. He had surgery in like November and I had mine in March, but I think I still have way more range of motion. I think this stretch is directly responsible. I was noticing results from the first time I did it so wanted to share it here with everyone else.  (continue reading…)

I had my 5 month followup today with Dr. Pavlovich today. I was originally supposed to see him on Wednesday but ended up switching it to today. I had forgotten all about it until about 3am last night. I was in the middle of killing Nazi Zombies playing Call of Duty on Xbox and my phone started beeping at me about my 8:30am appointment! Ughhhh. Needless to say, 7:30 came way too fast. (continue reading…)

UFC lightweight title contender and Bridgewater native Joe Lauzon does not rattle easily.

Just 11 days after an electrifying second-round armbar submission victory over Jeremy Stephens to headline SpikeTv’s Fight Night 17 on Feb. 7, Lauzon’s (18-4, 5 KOs, 13 subs) possible title hopes were put on hold when he suffered a torn ACL that forced him to undergo surgery. (continue reading…)

It has been a while since I have put out an update because I have been trying to stay as busy as possible. I have had a healthy dose of X-Box and teaching at my gym to keep me occupied, and time has just been slipping away. (continue reading…)

Whenever people hear “ACL surgery” they assume the worst. I know for a long time, an ACL surgery was the end of an athletes career. I have gotten so many emails from people telling me it ended their football, soccer, track and basketball careers. Tomorrow will be 8 weeks since surgery and I am amazed at how much more I am able to do. Rehab has come a long way. (continue reading…)

I started out using this for promotional uses… letting people know about fights and things like that. Then, I wanted to use it like a one stop source for information. I get asked the same questions all the time, so rather than answering the same 6 questions 20 times every day, I would post about it once on my website and give a thorough answer and send people there. Recently I have been using it for rehab stuff.

I think I am going to start blogging about anything and everything through. Seeing movies, TV shows, thoughts on Xbox, whatever. I think it might clutter up the site a little but, but people can find the good stuff easily enough and sort through things they aren’t interested in.

What do you think?

I was basically stuck in my room for the last month and a half. I couldn’t even get around the house for a while and I definitely couldn’t go outside the house without help. Just walking was pretty slow and difficult and driving was completely out of the question.
