Bloody Elbow, for MMA and UFC news

Dan Lauzon cut by the UFC according to bostonherald.com: "His contract was terminated. He’s just got to go back and get more experience. Dany is very very young guy," said Cavallaro. "He is a tremendous fighter. He needs to get the right training, the right camp and get a handful of wins again. "I was talking to Joe Silva about it and he said ‘we’ll definitely have him back. We love him, he’s a tough kid. He just needs more experience, a consistent camp.’ He did learn a lot from this fight." UFC 114: Rampage vs. Evans coverage

Dan Lauzon tells the Boston Herald that his brother Joe and other coaches have given up on him, just two weeks before his UFC 114 fight with Efrain Escudero: "This is going to be the first fight I don’t have them in my corner," Dan Lauzon said last week. "They’re not going to be there to support me. It (stinks). I don’t really know what I did to deserve this. I wouldn’t do that to anybody. I wouldn’t do that to my brother, I wouldn’t do that to anyone in my gym. It’s not right." "He trained better than he did before (the ultimatum), but he still didn’t fulfill everything we wanted him to do," Joe Lauzon said. "We said you need to train 10 or 11 times a week, and he didn’t do that. I don’t think he’s done that one time." Dan Lauzon disputed that account, saying that no specific guidelines were ever presented to him. "In my eyes, I was doing everything right," he said. "I was making it to the gym; I was training hard two times a day. I was doing everything right. I was completely blown away." "I was completely hurt by it, especially my brother Joe. I don’t think anybody would ever do that to their brother. I can’t think of anyone else that would ever do that to their brother and just tell them, ’Hey, you’re on your own.’" "I think I’m going to be pretty much looking for a new gym and new coaches to train with," he said. "People I can actually count on and rely on and not somebody that’s going to halfway through a camp say, ’Hey sorry, you’re going out there alone, good luck.’ " Lauzon scrambled to find new cornermen and will have WEC fighter Josh Grispi, "Ultimate Fighter" alum John Clarke and training partner Brandon Chase with him in Las Vegas.

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." HT: MMA Junkie
