Joe “J-Lau” Lauzon was born in May 22, 1984. He is a professional Mixed Martial Arts fighter out of Bridgewater, Massachusetts.  He graduated from Wentworth Institute of Technology in 2006 with a BA in Computer Science.

Joe Lauzon began practicing Martial Arts in his junior year of High School. His career commenced in 2004 when he fought his first pro MMA fight and won by an armbar in the first round. He went on an eight fight winning streak with all of the fights ended via submission.

Lauzon had his debut in the UFC on September 23, 2006 when he fought and defeated the former UFC lightweightchampion, Jens Pulver at UFC 63, winning by knockout in 48 seconds.

Joe then became a contestant on The Ultimate Fighter show on Spike TV, in it’s 5^thseason in 2007. The finale featured the two coaches from season 5, BJ Penn and Jens Pulver.  Joe was placed on the undercard against another former contestant from TUF 5, Brandon Melendez.  Once again, Joe came out aggressive and was able to take the win. Joe made a fantastic transition from Brandon’s back into a triangle choke, which forced Brandon to submit. Joe improved his UFC record to 2-0 and his overall pro MMA record to 15-3.

Since then Joe Lauzon has gone 18-4, and is currently considered one of the top lightweight fighters in the world.
