Dan Lauzon earns seventh-straight win at sold-out WCF event |
|
UFC-veteran lightweight Dan Lauzon (11-2) earned his seventh straight victory Friday night in the Massachusetts-based promotion World Championship Fighting.
The 20-year-old Lauzon needed just 75 seconds to earn a TKO against an overmatched Justin Hammertrum (6-7) in the evening"s main event.
The win was Lauzon"s third for World Championship Fighting in 2008.
Lauzon, younger brother of “The Ultimate Fighter 5” cast member Joe Lauzon, stil holds the record as the youngest fighter ever to compete in the UFC. In Otober 2006, at just 18 years, five months and 14 days old, Lauzon lost via TKO to Spencer Fisher at “UFC 64: Unstoppable.”
In his next bout Lauzon was submitted by IFL veteran Deividas Taurasevicius. That stretch marks the only two losses of Lauzon 13-fight career. Lauzon has since reeled off seven straight wins—six by knockout or TKO and one by submission.
Lauzon"s next bout will be a match-up of two young prodigies contested on Affliction Entertainment"s “Day of Reckoning” event. Scheduled for January, Lauzon will put his win streak on the line against 21-year-old IFL veteran Chris Horodecki (12-1).
The sold-out event from Aleppo Shriners Auditorium in Wilmington, Mass., was the fifth event in the 14 month history of World Championship Fighting. Event promoter and MMA agent Joe Cavallaro also welcomed Joe Lauzon, Jorge Rivera and Sean Gannon as special guests for the evening.
