Joe Lauzon actively training, UFC’s first trip to Boston may dictate lightweight’s return

By MMAEdition on Jul 25, 2009 with Comments 0

With a streak of eight wins in nine fights – including five of six in
the UFC – Joe Lauzon (18-4 MMA, 5-1 UFC) was making progress in the
UFC’s talent-rich lightweight division.

But after an ACL injury suffered in Lauzon’s February win over Jeremy
Stephens required surgery and an extensive rehabilitation, “J-Lau” has
been forced to deal with the challenges of watching from the sidelines.

“I was building a little bit of momentum early in the year,” Lauzon
recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio. “I literally went from fighting on TV, being main event on Spike, to
two weeks later I’m sitting in bed yelling for sandwiches and water. It
was kind of depressing.”
