Joe 'J-Lau' Lauzon is one of the most entertaining fighters the UFC lightweight division has ever produced. A scrappy submission specialist from New England, he spent his entire long career in the promotion and became a cult favorite for his blood-and-guts, finish-or-be-finished style.
He announced himself with a stunning debut knockout of former champion Jens Pulver and went on to collect a record-tying haul of post-fight bonuses - a testament to how reliably exciting his fights were. Whether winning or losing, Lauzon was always game for a war, with grappling-heavy scrambles and wild exchanges that thrilled crowds.
For new fans, Lauzon is a perfect example of the action fighter who builds a devoted following without ever holding a belt. His highlight reel is full of finishes and Fight of the Night classics, and his name remains synonymous with the kind of all-action style that makes fans fall in love with the sport.
