Joe Lauzon (born May 22, 1984) is a semi-retired American professional mixed martial artist who competed in the UFC's Lightweight division. Described as a well-rounded fighter, he has the most post-fight bonus awards in UFC Lightweight history with 15. Joe's younger brother, Dan Lauzon, is also a mixed martial artist.[2][3]
Lauzon's first amateur fight was in 2002. He held a 5–3 record as an amateur.[4]
In 2004, Lauzon had his first cage fight, winning with a first round armbar in a local Massachusetts promotion, Mass Destruction.[6] Lauzon then went on an eight fight winning streak with all the fights ending via submission. Lauzon won an eight-man tournament, defeating three fighters in one night in the World Fighting League and was crowned the WFL Grand Prix Champion.[4] Lauzon was also named 2004 Massachusetts fighter of the year by local Massachusetts MMA outlets.[7]
Lauzon made his debut in the UFC upsetting former UFC Lightweight ChampionJens Pulver at UFC 63 on September 23, 2006, winning via KO in 48 seconds and beating 7-to-1 odds. He was awarded a Knockout of the Night award.
Lauzon has been sponsored throughout his career by independent record label Massachusetts-based Deathwish Inc.[8]
The Ultimate Fighter
Lauzon was a contestant on The Ultimate Fighter 5, which featured lightweights exclusively. He was on B.J. Penn's team, against a team coached by Jens Pulver. Lauzon defeated Brian Geraghty in the preliminary round. He then defeated Cole Miller in the quarterfinals. The win was somewhat controversial due to an illegal strike to the back of Miller's head. Miller appeared obviously dazed by the illegal strike and was given time to recover.[9] However, when action was restarted, it was clear that Cole was still feeling the effects of the strike. Lauzon capitalized on it and won the fight.[10] In the semi-finals, Lauzon lost a unanimous decision to Manvel Gamburyan. At the finale, he defeated Brandon Melendez via submission (triangle choke) at 2:09 of round two.

At UFC 78 Lauzon submitted previously undefeated Jason Reinhardt by rear-naked choke in the first round.[11] Lauzon quickly took Reinhardt down before moving to the north–south position.

Florian opened the second round with a takedown and soon advanced to mount where he landed multiple unanswered strikes until the fight was waved off.[14]
Lauzon defeated Kyle Bradley by technical knockout in round two at UFC Fight Night 15 on September 17, 2008. In the first round Bradley connected with a punch and rocked Lauzon. Lauzon managed to recover and continued to trade with Bradley in a close first round. In the second round Lauzon scored a takedown and transitioned quickly into mount before taking Bradley's back. Lauzon landed several punches from this position until the referee stepped in to save Bradley.[15]
Lauzon was scheduled to fight former WEC Lightweight Champion, Hermes Franca on February 7, 2009, in the main event for UFC Fight Night 17.[16] However, Franca pulled out of the event with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.[17]Jeremy Stephens stepped in as a late replacement.[18] Lauzon defeated Stephens by armbar in the second round, which earned him a Submission of the Night bonus award.[19][20]

Lauzon was instead set to fight fellow Ultimate Fighter season 5 castmate Gabe Ruediger.[24] During the UFC 118 weigh-ins Ruediger brought Lauzon a cake that read "Sorry for your loss". Lauzon defeated Ruediger, who is a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, via armbar in 2:01 of round one having completely dominated him for the entire fight. The submission earned him a Submission of the Night award.[25] According to commentator Joe Rogan, Gabe "was never in it for a second."
Lauzon faced George Sotiropoulos on November 20, 2010, at UFC 123.[26] The fight began with an action-packed first round, that saw Lauzon set the pace. However, by the end of the round, Lauzon began to tire and saw Sotiropoulos began to gain momentum. The second round saw a fatigued and passive Joe Lauzon. After a scramble, Sotiropoulous ended up on top position and torqued a kimura to force the tap-out.[27] Both fighters earned a Fight of the Night bonus award.[28]

Lauzon next faced Marcin Held on January 15, 2017, at UFC Fight Night 103.[66] He was awarded a controversial split decision victory, even stating he felt he lost the bout post-fight.[67] Likewise, 16 out of 17 media pundits scored the bout for Held; the lone holdout scored the fight a draw.[68]

Lauzon's moniker, 'J-Lau', was given by his friends whom he trained with when he was in high school. Lauzon did not fancy his nickname, as it is a reference to Jennifer Lopez, and would prefer his nickname to be 'Baby Joe' instead.[90]
