"I’m obviously disappointed in the result [of Fight Night 20]. It was an entertaining fight, but that’s not what I want to be known for. I definitely thought I had (Sam) Stout in the first round but he had other plans. I felt his shoulder pop and I really thought that I had him. I guess it wasn’t meant to be. I expected him to be tough. His takedown defense was better than I thought. I thought I’d have an easier time on the ground, too. He came to fight with a perfect game plan. Give him credit for a good fight. I’d like to fight him in a rematch but, then again, I’d like to fight anybody I’ve lost to but that doesn’t happen very often and is out of my control. I really want to fight on the first UFC show in Boston. It’s a natural and would be a dream come true for me."
Bridgewater native Joe Lauzon (18-5) reacts to just his second loss inside the Octagon since shocking the world with a flash knockout over Jens Pulver at UFC 63: "Hughes vs. Penn" back in September 2006. "J-Lau" returned from knee surgery to hook 'em up with Sam Stout in their "Fight of the Night" at UFC 108 in Las Vegas but was unable to break the "Hands of Stone," who took home the unanimous decision. Now the former TUF 5 contestant hopes to get back to his winning ways when the UFC comes to his backyard on August 28 in Boston. Anyone want to start playing matchmaker?

"It was an entertaining fight, but that’s not what I want to be known for."
No, it wasn’t. Lauzon didn’t show up for the 2nd and 3rd rounds.
Tito interviewing Babalu: "I want to tell me what you see, let's go ahead and see by the fight, what you saw, in the ring."
Tito interviewing Fedor: "Let me tell you how you feeling right now?"
Damn you Joe you not only did I lose money on you and your brother but you cost me a perfect start to Mac's pool
In all seriousness Joe was clearly not at his best against Stout, his cardio wasn’t there and once he failed to submit Sam in the first he was effectively finished. I’d have him fight Nate next, as they never got to face each other on the show and both have great ground games plus they have a lot to prove after their recent defeats.
"Wanderlei is focused and well trained...he will easily win this fight, by a large margin and with much better technique."
Anderson Silva on why Wand is going to smash Bisping. Get ready to lose your dignity frosnt.
thats a wicked pick david
joe vs nate would be great match up
Every night i would pray to God for a new bike, then i realized God does not work that way, so i stole one and asked him to forgive me
I have been asking for Nate vs. Joe since their season of TUF ended.
Great fight, Im just not sure UFC wants to book a fight right now that will guarentee one of these 2 going on a 2 fight win streak!
Nate n Joe will usually be held of UFC ppv’-s so that they can headline spike cards!
Tell you what, I wouldnt mind seeing Joe or Nae face off with Dunham!

Joe cost me a lot of money against stout as well!
....
I want to see either him or Cole Miller fight Terry Etim. Its time the UFC pushed Etim he beat Stoute ages ago
WANDY RIP
Agreed
Etim is a good fighter and has been hidden on the prelims for too long now. He deserves a top ranked opponent and now it’s time for him to prove himself. I’d like to see him face Cole Miller, should be interesting to see 2 lanky LWs with good striking and grappling face each other. If this Fight Night in Nottingham that Semtex mentioned pans out then that would be a good fight for that card.

Joe's striking isn't usually that bad
He was gassed quickly because of the long layoff and that made him a sitting duck against Stout. His grappling is a lot better than his striking but at 100% Joe is a lot better on the feet than he showed in his last fight.

Is Jens Pulver that guy getting beaten up by 145ers?
"He#s the WWE champ and with out a doubt should be ranked higher than any other man in the UFC. "-Puck Head, LOL.
No
Joe might want to get a fight between now and the UFC’s Boston show. I think part of his performance had to do with such a long layoff due to injuries. Best way to get back to form is to go right back to fighting if possible. Maybe fight someone on an undercard and then get ready for the Boston show?
