they arent saying kimbo will be there. they are referring to Sean Gannon as kimbo’s slayer…if you watch the youtube vids, gannon beat him..and learn how to read a sentence.

I find it hilarious when people are marketed as a ‘veteran’ after one fight. Especially Dan Lauzon, who got steamrolled in his one and only UFC fight.

I don’t know about steamrolled. He came in on two weeks notice and gave Fisher one hell of a first round. His cardio wasn’t up to par as to be expected with two weeks notice, plus the added adrenaline dump of being 18 and in the Octagon. He definately wasn’t ready at that time, but he didn’t that bad. You could see the potential.

p.s. I’ll be at the show!!!!!!!

I totally agree. The word veteran means someone who’s very experienced at something. One fight, and not even one full round at that, doesn’t make you very experienced in the UFC. I don’t think the word veteran should be used until you’ve had at least 10 fights in the UFC.

Funny Sean Gannon and Kimbo at the event! Maybe a part 2 to the youtube controversy? lol…

As far as Dan Lauzon’s fist fight goes, it is really hard to mentally be ready for the big stage. On top of th facts, he took it on super short notice, he is 18 on the big show, and is fighting one of the toughest guys in the division. The adrenalin dump on any big stage is a huge factor. Even RAmpage talked about that in his irst UFC fight, even though he had all those PRIDE fights. Give the 18 yr old a break. He will be good…

I don’t think anyone doubts that this kid will be good. I think the issue is that he’s being dubbed as a UFC veteran after less than 5 minutes in the UFC.

The Lauzon family needs to work on the nicknames.

A lot of those New Englanders do. Along with J-Lau and The Upgrade, you have Ken-Flo, which is running neck and neck with J-Lau for Worst Nickname in the UFC. There’s also Tim “The Maine-iac” Sylvia, ’cause, you know, he’s from Maine. Get it? Heeee heeee heee.

Right! “The Upgrade” is pretty lame.
