![Joe Lauzon says he and brother Dan are no longer willing to fight each other, and won't even fight on the same card again:
"It just doesn't work out that well, so we definitely won't do it again."
"I was trying to look at all the positive aspects of it – about the training camp and the fact that everyone from home could see us both at the same time," Joe said. "Normally you have to fly to see me fight, and then you have to fly to see him fight. I was trying to look at all the upside, but I definitely knew there was a big downside – the emotion dump. Plus we couldn't corner each other."
"I was screaming in the back room at the TV, almost like I'm coaching," Joe said. "Obviously [Dan] can't hear me, so I'm being retarded, but I'm screaming. I saw the reverse triangle coming way before Danny did, way before my coaches did. I could tell the way Cole fell to his side that it was coming, but I couldn't do anything about it."
"I think we squashed the whole fighting thing," Joe said. "We both had such a tough time fighting at the same time.
"If it came way down the line and they were going to pay us some obscene amount of money, then I think we would think about it. We were like, 'I'd definitely fight him,' but I think after seeing how tough it was just to see the other person fight on the same night, I think we're kind of squashing that."
