To all My Fans, unfortunely i am not gonna be able to fight UFC 17 in Tampa Florida, i just tore my ACL on my right knee last saturday....

I think you guys deserve to hear that from me.

I just want to take care of that , and Joe lauzon you're lucky mother fucker lololol.(J/K)

Thank you UFC,my fans, friends for the support, i was training hard and i was so excited ,but there's nothing i can do, (could be worse), so Hermes franca will take a break for some recovery,and come back stronger than ever like i always do!!!!

God Bless you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hermes "The unreal"Franca

Would have been a good fight. Franca goes on to have a pretty funny exchange with Lauzon. After the jump I picked out that thread to make it easy to read.

Very sorry to hear. I was looking forward to it.

Joe "The Luckiest Guy on Earth" Lauzon

Me too brother,but it is or it is!!!!

HF

Good luck with the recovery. I was hoping we could beat each other up... ideally me beating you up a little bit more... but a fight either way.

Best of luck.

JL

lol Joe, u have no idea how excited i was to fight against you, especially when i saw your brother fighting,man he sucks uhauahuahauha!!!!!!!

Next time for sure, maybe we can fight like kimbo, in the back yard just to see what is up!!!!!

Hey dan L. no offense!!!!

HF

Hey Hermes, make sure you make it to your AA meetings. Go fuck yourself. Had a lot of respect for you before this.

No offense. JL

lol i will joe to the AA meetings with your mom,

no offense!!!!!

HF

And last but not least HF adds.

p.s. Blow me

This was a joke, but fun none the less. One of the reasons I love MMA. People that are going to punch eachother in the face can joke like this.

That hilarious exchange almost makes up for the unfortunate news.

Did you know we are in high demand, Laura?

Strange he’s that jovial after tearing an ACL. You would have thought his demeanor would be a bit more..I don’t know..serious?

Maybe he went on a bender and was drunk-posting the UG.

Too bad Jim Miller already has a fight booked, because we all know that he would step in there right now and fight.

Joe Lauzon vs. Sam Stout.. BRING IT.

All you guys are crapping yourself about Dana's Vlog

Caol Uno doesn’t have a contract anywhere so far as I know. Triumphant return written all over it.

Gimme 1 Round!

Is it possible that Danzig could get bumped to the main event?

im not impressed with your performance

by troy145 on Jan 27, 2009 3:35 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

Is this realistic:

Bump Danzig to fight Lauzon

Bump Clementi to fight Neer

Find another to fighter to take on Tibeau

im not impressed with your performance

It’s a shame Jim Miller’s fighting Gray Maynard in March… wait, what am I saying, that fight should be sweet

I don’t think anyone would rather see Maynard or Miller fight Lauzon instead of fighting each other.

Thanks for catching me after I caught myself -_-

I was agreeing.

looks like it's gonna be jeremy stephens filling the spot

somewhere, escudero is breathing a little easier.

by woooburn on Jan 27, 2009 4:30 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

Sweet. Stephens is gonna knock Lauzon the F out.

by lbk on Jan 27, 2009 4:38 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

I don’t think so. I call Lauzon by GnP TKO.

by szucconi on Jan 27, 2009 4:42 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

lauzon via submission

round 2

im not impressed with your performance

Nice.

Nice!

by Nick Thomas on Jan 27, 2009 4:47 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

Escudero

shouldn’t breathe too easy…Stephens plans on still taking that fight so long as he doesn’t suffer any injuries against Lauzon.

by Scott Haber on Jan 27, 2009 6:05 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

nice

recommendation to mr. stephens: remember to pack your uppercut.

by woooburn on Jan 27, 2009 6:12 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

I read that entire thread there...

Wow… two professionals mixing it up on an internet discussion forum…

Makes me wonder if that was really Hermes Franca and Joe Lauzon though..

by Gunslinger20 on Jan 27, 2009 6:47 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

both of them are goofy, down to earth people

if its not them, it isnt because it wouldnt be them

im not impressed with your performance

by troy145 on Jan 27, 2009 6:52 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

I dunno...

Something about it just made me think its two guys that are really bored, in my opinion… I don’t think either one of them would result to taking jabs at each other on a chat board. I’m not much of a Franca fan, but I wanted to see Joe Lauzon fight him.
