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.”

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.

Someone on twitter asked me what the first song on my workout playlist was. I thought it was a pretty good question so I decided to put up the current playlist I train to on here. I change this around all the time and add in new and old songs and mix it up… but this is what I will be working out to tonight. (continue reading…)

I bumped into a picture of Tim Sylvia, and just had to make a motivational poster out of it. We have a bit of history, so this is well deserved. (continue reading…)

Not everyone is on board with Mixed Martial Arts yet, but more and more sports fans are getting accustomed to our sport. With the increased popularity of the sport, it’s becoming mainstream and it’s just getting started. (continue reading…)

Before my last fight, I was trying to buy a house but my lease was expiring shortly before I fought. Instead of signing a new lease, I decided to move back to my parent’s house to avoid rushing to find a house. I put in an offer on a house but it was never accepted and then I fought Jeremy Stephens at Ultimate Fight Night. As everyone knows, I had ACL surgery a month later and have been recovering since.

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…)

Well, it looks like I will be having ACL surgery next week. I have had a history of bad luck with my knees. I have already had two knee surgeries… meniscectomies on both knees. Those surgeries were relatively simple because they just go in arthoscopically and shave down the meniscus. There is no stitching and no repairing done.
