"I want to go in there and just demolish this guy. His name is Danny Lauzon, he's out of Boston, he's a good friend of mine. We started together."

"I got a little offended when he took this fight especially with me coming of a loss. It's bye-bye Danny."

I like the Lauzons, but I never actually felt that Dan was a UFC caliber fighter. With or without this whole brother/training camp drama that Dan has, I think that Escudero would beat Dan regardless. I don’t feel that Escudero should be offended by Dan taking this fight though in that this is a business, and it probably wasn’t personal.

Danny boy just doesn’t have the discipline to be a good UFC fighter. I’ve seen the kid train…it’s always half assed, and then he never wants to spar with people better than him…..

I’m impressed that local CBS affilliate had this story.

show a little professionalism. It’s business, not personal. Even EPMD agrees!

Agreed

What’s so offensive about doing your job? If anything, he’s being a good friend: accept a fight>get paid.

This fight is not something I am excited about. Whether Dan deserved the tough love that he was enforced with, it is still being abandoned by family. That is quite tramatizing and I would probably pull out of the fight if I were him. It just doesnt seem like entertainment to me anymore. I will skip this fight on the card.

Day-man! Fighter of the Night-man! Champion of the sun. You're a master of Karate and friendship for everyone!
