I think it relates more to being hurt during the fight. I'm thinking of the Matt Hughes fight. I can't believe the UFC locked Joe up to a 9 fight contract. I thought they do 3 or 4 at best. What is the source of that info? If so, they scored a coup, because Lauzon is only 22 and I think that he is in the top 5 in that division. I really wish we had seen Lauzon vs Diaz in that finale. I'll settle for Lauzon vs Fisher. I hope that's the next match up for Joe. Last I heard both camps wanted it[/quote] Fisher is fighting Din Thomas at FIght Night 11. Lauzon would have a long lay off for that to happen. I'm guessing he will have one opponent (possibly a newcomer) to steamroll and then he will take on Fisher.

The way BJ was praising him for being so coachable and how well he listened. BJ took him under his wing. You could see Joe was his favorite. Kinda like Tito and Matt Hamil. (who I'm rooting for to beat Bisping) This will only make Joe one of the best lightweights in the future of the division. He has good wrestling and good BJJ. But BJ is going to get him to the next levl and also improve his striking, cuz that's where he lacks the most. Yeah he knocked out Jens, but he looked like junk against Brandon at the finale.

I think Lauzon is a great fighter, but would not be a champion for a long time coming. Since BJ is staying in 155, I doubt he'll want to challenge his own mentor if BJ wins the belt. And no offense, but Joe isn't anywhere near the fighting level of Sean Sherk. No offense I don't think anyone else can touch those guys at 155 in the UFC right now (not to say they won't sign someone else, or another elite WW drops to 155). I honestly think the NJ vs. Sherk will determine the king of 155 for the next couple of years as the rest of the competition isn't near their level. The division would catch up in time, but in the immediate future I see a 2 horse race at 155. In time, maybe 3 years or so Joe may evolve to be a dominant player at 155, but I don't expect him to carry the belt.
