I will be at the Arnold Sports Festival this weekend. It’s a huge sports and bodybuilding expo with a ton of different competitions from Jiu-JItsu to Cheerleading to Dance. I will be signing autographs at the UFC booth at the Arnold Fitness EXPO, in the main hall of the Greater Columbus Convention Center, on Friday from 11am to 2pm, and on Saturday from 10am to 12pm.

Here are my picks and whatnot. Let me know what you think… what you agree on… what you disagree on, etc…

Every fight I get asked about my picks for fights… so I am going to TRY and start posting short blogs on fights and who I think will win. Sometimes I am dead on, but most of the time I am way off. I want to hear who you guys think will win too though… so let me know what you think about my picks.

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…)

Great job Sam. You whooped my ass tonight. I thought I had the Kimura in the first round and thought it was over… but you had other plans. Your standup was crisp and your cardio was way better than mine. I could hear your corner calling out stuff and still couldn’t deal with it. (continue reading…)

First of all… you better be following me on Twitter because this is going to be a first come first serve speed thing.

So here is the deal… I have 10 tickets to give away. I know I had said before that I was going to give away pairs… but I have 10 singles… which I will give away in 5 pairs. The tickets won’t be together, but they will be close to each other… and they are good tickets. (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.

This is the shirt my cornermen will be wearing this weekend. You can buy them from Tri-Coasta here.

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.”
