Dan Lauzon Wiki Wiki Page

Born and raised in Massachusetts, and the younger brother of UFC fighter Joe Lauzon, Dan “The Upgrade” Lauzon is the youngest fighter ever to compete in the Ultimate Fighting Championships. He accomplished that feat at the tender age of 18 years, 7 months and 14 days, in a loss to Spencer Fisher at UFC 64 in October 2006.


Lauzon is an aggressive fighter. He thrives in, and plainly enjoys, wild back-and-forth exchanges that move from standup to the mat and back again. His training ethic has been questioned on occasion, including from members of his own camp. But “The Upgrade” is arguably the more athletic of the two Lauzon brothers, and possesses an extremely slick submission game. His first five wins in professional MMA all came by way of submission. Dan Lauzon remains very young, with a promising fight career ahead of him.

    Remember Jon Fitch? He used to be a UFC welterweight contender, but then he failed to win 3 of his final 4 fights and the UFC cut him. The reason for the shock release? He's "very f**king expensive" according to Dana White. Now he's with World Series of Fighting, and he gets to rematch Josh Burkman in the main event of WSOF 3 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
