Good fight. If Iaquinta's on, it may be his fight to lose, but Lauzon could overwhelm him early.

They should have put this on the Boston card.

Prediction: wrong Lauzon   wrong Decision  

This is going to be a tight fight for sure. I love me some Joey Bonus, but I think Al is going to take this one. It's going to be like Johnson vs Lauzon all over again.

This is a confusing one. Iaquinta just got a huge win against Pearson but his sub defense has seemed lacking for his whole UFC run.

If this fight goes to the ground Al is ******. Don't think Al has enough power to put Lauzon out either. Honestly can't see a scenario where this goes good for Al unless Lauzon comes out flat and gets out pointed on the feet which I highly doubt happens.

Prediction: correct Iaquinta   correct KO/TKO   correct Round 2  

I think Al's wrestling is too good for Joe to get him down and sadly Joe just never seems to look good on the feet.

Prediction: correct Iaquinta   wrong Decision  

I was going to say Iaquinta all day, but then I remembered his jiu jitsu defense is shotty.

If he keeps this on the feet I like his chances though.

Lauzon in dat first round doe...beastly.

Except Joe isn't from Boston nor Al from NYC......

Too many miles on Lauzon's old body. Al will avoid brawling with Lauzon and use his crisp striking to a dec win.

Joe isn't quite on the Marciano/Hagler level of success but he has had a very good career. It's just he has a lot of wear on him at this point, still a big fan though. I don't think he wins this on the feet and Al has some solid wrestling. If Al is lazy he will lose IMO, but I think he takes this one.

Prediction: wrong Lauzon   wrong Submission   wrong Round 1  

Iaquinta has the athleticism, speed and power to put Lauzon away and make him look silly. Conversely, Lauzon has very high fight IQ while I think Iaquinta's is bottom of the barrel. If Lauzon catches this kid in a scramble, that's a wrap.

Prediction: wrong Lauzon   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

This one should be yet another "Fight of the Night" notch on the belt of Joe Lauzon win or lose. Lauzon is always putting on Fight of the Year candidate performances and saddens me he won't make HOF status without a title reign to show for it.
