Fellow Wackbagger to be Featured on UFC reality show "The Ultimate Fighter"

[Palerider4146]

Ok Mods, I know this is sports/TV related, but if you could please leave this on here, and possibily even sticky it for a while, you would be supporting our fellow member Rance.

The reason I would like it here is that many non sports/MMA fans wont be looking elsewhere and wouldnt know to support him.


Rance, aka Joe Lauzon will be a featured contestant on the UFCs reality show the Ultimate Fighter which premieres this Thursday April 5th at 10pm on Spike TV.

What makes this even more interesting, is that Rance is one of only a few contestants who actually has had a UFC fight before, except his was against one of this season's coaches, Jens Pulver, whom he knocked the fuck out in less than 2 mins.

Additionally we would love for somehow the boys to find out and maybe get him on the show to promo the show, or even if the UFC would like, to do a call in on the friday after the show every week to talk about it much like Trump used to until the boys ruiiinnneed it.

On top of that, the guy is always looking for sponsorship for his career. How awesome would it be to have an XM or just and O and A on this guys shorts for a couple of grand, Ope makes that from 6:00-6:02 every morning (jk, we know it's more).

Please support the guy, he has been a long time fan of the boys.

[Puddle O AIDs]

[generoso]

That was kick ass fight, Hope he does well...

[notmikeh]

Good Luck Bro

[wes mantooth]

Good luck Joe. Wear a Wackbag shirt if you can.


.

[mendozathejew]

lol Now we have demands from the guy. he cant wear a shirt on the show. its not live you dummies, it has already been recorded.

the sponsorships, and specifically the shirt they put on immediately after the each live fight, is a big part of each fighter's revenue. so the show would have to seriously pony up some cash for that.

[Awful Me]

good luck bro

Seriously. Couldn't we get this guy a couple wackbag shirts to wear during workouts? ;) Good luck, I'll be supporting ya.

[JoeFromS.Jersey]

Awesome, I didn't realize he was on here.

I'm also a fighter, though not as accomplished as this fella. I've just started...but hey...eventually maybe I'll get there.

Definitely has my support.

We get enough of this we'll have to have a Wackbag fight night.

[JoeFromS.Jersey]

Yeah, I can't speak for him, but I know as far as I go...I'm a fighter (amateur) but I more then make up for any athletic abilities that I have by being a complete geek elsewhere in my life.

B.S. in Computer Science (A.I. and I.T. specializations).
Stargate, Star Trek, Star Wars fan.
I like video games.

So yeah.....I think I fight to make up for the fact that I'm a total loser...El oh El

Oh yeah, I forgot to include that I post on Wackbag

[domelogic]

great video, i will be watching with support for him

[abudabit]

Awesome, I'll be catching it.


Also we have another Wackbagger, also named Joe, who is in MMA. His fight (May 18th in Atlantic City) thread is here:

Well thank you for the plug sir, you rock.

Hopefully I'll be at Lauzon's level one day soon.

[Palerider4146]

Hey Joe S., where are you training out of? I have read about some 18 year old Irish kid, Gallagher I think from toms River I think that is supposed to be up and coming. I would love to train, just cant afford it.

[Palerider4146]

Actually the kids name is Liam Kerrigan, he sometimes works out at a sister school of his up in Marlboro.

[JoeFromS.Jersey]

Hey Pale,

I train waaay down in Vineland.

EvoFightClub.com

If you're near tom's river you probably aren't in a reasonable range of me. But you've got some good schools in the area. Depending on where you fall Philly has some really good schools....Fight Factory, Team Balance, Team Rhino I believe are all out of Philly as far as I know, and I've met some of the guys.

There's also Real Fighting Dojo in Ocean NJ (don't know if that'd be close to you) but there's some good guys out of there. I fought a guy named Mark Berrocal out of there, who's a really tough fighter. If you go check them out and meet Mark just tell him the guy Joe he fought in December told you to check him out.

And if you're more up North dude you got tons of fantastic options. Matt Serra has a school on long island I think, there's a Henzo Gracie school in manhattan....there's a machodo school in manhattan, and like...I don't know a good handful of other places. You should definitely check them out.

[Palerider4146]

Joe,

I'm in Monmouth county, so Ocean isnt to far. I would love to work out with Serra because I think he is a terrific coach, as was evident on TUF 4. Honestly, with a 4 year old, I dont have the time or money to do it. Maybe one day.

Very cool man, if you're near Ocean, then go check out the 'Real fighting' school. You should be able to find direction with a quick google. I don't personally know anyone else there besides Mark, but he's a good guy. I've seen him and talked to him at a number of fights since December and he seems like good people.

Hey you're busy, that's understandable, but you don't have to have aspirations to get in the ring to go check it out and maybe train 2 or 3 days a week. Just do it as a hobby/something to get in shape. It'll be good for you and it will really enhance the enjoyment you get out of watching fights too. The more you know about what's going on the more you'll have fun watching.

Nice, guillard is a freaking beast. He's a nasty little fighter man. Quick as hell and good hands.

[sniper]

Stickied. Saw that fight with Pulver @ UFC-63, I was on vacation, at that time I only rooted for him because he was from Bridgewater. Looking forward to this season.

[UnOriginal]

Good luck.

[duGandfriends]

Sorry but I'm rootin for Duke Gheraty- I've known him for years.

[ezstevey]

I hope he uses lil jimmy intimidations, ie. "I want to comb your hair with a shovel"

[RoleModel]

Fine.... but if he's in a final fight, we fully expect to hear a "frrrrunkis!" or "O&A PARTY ROCK!" when Rogan interviews him at the end.

Good luck, bro.

[tstlkevanilla]

what's his name again

wtf is this? UFC or The Real World.

[DoughBoy]

Joe Lauzon (spelling?)

[commish13]

Wow... I've been a fan of Lauzon since he knocked Pulver out last year. I recognize the wackbag name, too. Very cool.

[Rance]

Please, enough with the "good luck Bro"s.

Quad D is the shit. One of the funniest kids in the house. No, scratch that... he was the funniest in the house.

I know Liam. I have rolled with him a little bit, and my brother has gone against him in some tournaments (I know at least once... but I think a few times). There is also a girl that is a complete badass at Jiu-Jitsu out of Tom's River, NJ as well.

[mendozathejew]

seriously rance, whats up with nate diaz. that boy aint right

[IvyQueen69]

that's pretty cool

[Rance]

Nate is cool... but watch out if you piss him off

[mendozathejew]

Nate is cool... but watch out if you piss him off
I'll probably end up rooting him cause Im a fan of his brother. but yeah I wouldnt be interested in pissing him off. hey what did you think about diaz subbing gomi?

[cigarsandscotch]

very cool

[Rance]

Nick shocked me with how the fight with Gomi went. Nick is awesome, but he went toe to toe with Gomi standing, and then subbed him easily once on the ground.

[madbam]

Luv the UFC...did I see that Dana White was actually gonna fight in the near future..

[mendozathejew]

Nick shocked me with how the fight with Gomi went. Nick is awesome, but he went toe to toe with Gomi standing, and then subbed him easily once on the ground.
gomi was gassed though, he didnt train at all. as much as I like diaz, and as happy I was when he won, if they fight in japan Im afraid its gona be a different story.

[Rance]

Dana was supposed to box against Tito, but Tito bailed last minute.

The fight with Gomi and Diaz may have been different in Japan because they don't test for Juice there. Diaz obviously doesn't juice, and Gomi looked uh... not like himself.

I listen to them a little bit. Not nearly as much. They have some really funny parts, but sometimes I get bored waiting in between and switch off to music.

[highway23]

I am loving this season, though I would love to see some fights go more than a minute long...

I guess the pussies are getting knocked off first to let the big boys through.

Kick ass Rance!

Up until now, I have been trying to cross post all kinds of articles and news on a number of places. I was going to mma.tv, myspace, sherdog, facebook, bullshido, TUF forums, and a few other places. I decided to set up a mailing list instead so people don't miss things, and to ensure I get everything out to as many people as possible. If you want to be kept in the loop on everything going on with me (articles, interviews, fights, training, etc) then you should join my mailing list. Go to my website

Thanks Rance.

Have you looked in the Sports and TV forums? Some commentary about last nights show :)

Thanks guys

No problem Rance, always great to have a wackbagger in high places. If your ever in NY, a bunch of us would love to hang with you, in a no homo way of course.

In that case; what year does a Wackbagger become President of the United States?

[Capt.Caveman]

joe won his 2nd fight. he looked more impressive this time. he was in trouble a few times and fought his way out. kids got a lot of heart. he almost got dq'ed. accidental elbow to back of head. to the 2 more wins.

[DHO]

That was one of the best fights of any Ultimate Fighter... very aggressive and very exciting.
The fight was already over before the elbow, and I think everyone watching knows that.

Congrats on the win, I hope you won the semifinals and
G/L in the finals

[Captain_Spaulding]

Thanks guys

You Sir are a Savage AAAAAAAAAAANIMAL! Best fighter this season hands down.

[StankOnHangDown]

Joe has an unfair disadvantage. His ears are way to distracting.

Um, no offence to MR. J-Lau, but...

I bet even I would have learned to be an ultimate fighter if my ears stuck out like that as a kid!

(running away....VERY far away!)

[Valk]

Congrats man. Whens he gonna be on again?

[cigarsandscotch]

Awesome. I became a fan after watching your fights. It's even better that you are one of us. Good luck man. I hope you go all the way. I don't doubt that you can, especially since you KOed Pulver. That has to be awkward for him to be a team coach knowing that one of the contestants knocked you out.

[UCFGavin]

keep it going. i know that i've started to watch the show again. i pretty much stopped after the first season.

[Valk]

Joe from Jersey? He's got that north Jersey "fuck you" look to him. I'll start watchin' again now that I have someone to root for. Amagine that, one our own actually making something of himself. Bravo.

[Don West]

No way! I've been pulling for Joe Lauzon the whole time and I didn't even know he's an O&A fan/bagger. Now he really has to win. Good job on this past episode! I'm sure you would have one even if he hadn't landed that errant elbow. Hopefully you manage to slap a wow sticker on you opponent's back in the finals.

[KyO&Afan]

Wish him all the best. Buddy of mine fights in mma here in bfe kentucky so i'm def interested in watching those types of fights.

Good luck!

[Captain_Spaulding]

shoulda had wow stickers in the house for sure.

[29 year old Dav]

Everyone I know that is watching the show is cheering for Joe. 2 great fights so far. I can't recall anyone applying a rear naked choke in quite the way he did in the first fight. Second fight was just as good. Quit laying in the fetal possition and you wont get hit in the back of the head bitch.

3 fights and 3 exciting victories keep up the good work

[zammers]

Hey Joe - Any chance we can get you to wear a People Against Censorship shirt during the finale?

Way to whoop Cole's ass this week. You were tearing him up even before the point being taken away

[Blu Swade]

Just found this thread, been so caught up in this XM debacle. Congratulations Joe, Keep it goin. Looks like beating people up is the easy part. Living with those Douche bags has to be hell! Its like high school, minus the chicks and the spliff. Don't get caught up in the BS and keep your eye on Diaz. My money has you against him in the final.

[mendozathejew]

great job so far in the season. joe your ground and pound looks fedor-esque. 2 fights pretty much back to back had to be tough, and Im sure that your third fight was rough because of that. great job

[Mule Juice]

I got a good chuckle from Joe's comments about his "retard strength". Keep up the good work.

[Capt.Caveman]

Joe has an unfair disadvantage. His ears are way to distracting.

they make me giggle every time

[dilznick101]

i think joe is going to go VERY far in mma. he is naturally talented, very skilled, smart, and a hard worker. all this and he's still very young.

i've been following mma since ufc 1. i've seen the sport grow and a lot of guys come and go. i definitely get a vibe from joe that he's going to tear the tits off this thing.

I see ufc lightweight champ within 2 years.

I think the current champ, sean sherk, would have nothing for joe. the problem is, I don't think sean will be champ for too long and this division is growing more and more stacked.

[mendozathejew]

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r138/vedderko/lauzon_assgrab.gif
not a good idea to grab the ass of someone with retard strength. lesson learned

[Capt.Caveman]

wiman, nate and manny will all be tough fights. grey brandon and corey i don't see them advancing imo

[Kub]

wiman, nate and manny will all be tough fights. grey brandon and corey i don't see them advancing imo

Gray and Brandon fight this round, so obviously one of them will advance. I think Gray will take the fight to the ground, where Brandon will have no answer for him.

I agree with you that Nate will walk through Corey. As long as Corey's height doesn't throw Nate off his game the way it did to Emerson, I think Nate wins easily(most likely by submission)

Wiman vs. Manny is easily the quarterfinal fight I am looking most forward to. I haven't seen enough of Manny to know how he'll do against a more polished fighter like Wiman.

Finally, even though all of this has already taken place, good luck, Joe. Hopefully, we'll be seeing you in the finale on the 23rd.

[drunksincerity]

I still think the finals will be Lauzon and Diaz. Which will be an intense war.

your right didn't think about that. i think wiman will beat manny but if manny was fighting grey he would be in the next round. grey's a wrestler who has to develop his skills still

[saigon]

Became a fan when Joe spoiled Pulver's comeback fight.. can't believe you are a wackbagger... Good stuff.

Great fights on the show so far. I hope you end up on O&A's show at some point

[mendozathejew]

can we please get joe in studio? its a shame if we cant get our own guy, on a tv show, in studio atleast once

[Capt.Caveman]

if he flaps those ears he should be there in no time

[m0nket]

I'd say we are gonna see Joe vs. Gray next week.. They'll probably try and setup a Joe vs. Nate finals.

Nate didnt look that great in his win thursday, I dont think Manny matches up well against any of the guys left, a good wrestler will destory him. Gray doesnt have the stamina. IMO it's Joe's to lose at this point.

But anything can happen, and either way Joe's got a very bright future ahead of him.

grey is a bad match up for joe. joe has better hands and better bjj but grey is a great wrestler. It will be a good fight. I think Joe by tko in the 2nd. nate really hasn't impressed me much. He looked ok vs Emerson and he only beat Corey because of Corey's experience level. Plus Nate is a friggin punk and he annoys the shit out of me. I wouldn't count out Manny just yet. He's a friggin animaL MY REDICTION IS jOE VS MANNY WITH JOE WINNING BY SUBMISSION IN THE 2ND ROUND.

[mobybeaver]

Awesome job on the show, Joe.

[gashog301]

Good job Joe, your going to go a long way.Where you feeling ok?You looked a little off your game.

[Plunkies]

Fucking Manny is the most boring fighter ever. Way to go fat ass, you sit on people for 15 minutes doing jack shit. Ugh.

[Capt.Caveman]

manny is a lil animal. he did just hold joe and wiman down but his base is so good you can't sweep him. great job joe. don't worry ufc will be calling you soon, your gonna be this seasons josh koscheck. you didn't win but you end up being the best one. I hope nate gets a fuckin beating i can't stand him. he wanted NO part of karo parysian, but he had to be the typical "I'm from the bario" punk. your trying to be a pro fighter stupid grow up!!

[Captain_Spaulding]

:( I thought Joe was gonna win the whole thing...ears and all. I look forward to you fighting in the future man, definitely one of the most explosive fighters I have ever seen.

I can't fucking stand Nate. He got his ass beat in the first round the other night and I thought he was done.

Karo would have destroyed his ass. I love how tough he got when Parysian wasn't in the room too. "If he comes near me, I'm going to Pop him!" Are ya?

UFC actually spoiled joe and mannys fight before it aired thursday. they had promos for the next fight night, advertising the winner of diaz grey would face manny in the TUF finale. thats a decent sized fuckup on their part

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Mr. Lauzon is an O&A fan and fellow wackbagger? insane. would have never known. wow. never. ever. well, unless i spoke to him, but i don't. cool, very cool. J-Lau I love you!... no homo.

I'm still shocked to see Joe lose to Manny.

I don't think Joe brought his best to that fight.

Gotta give props to Manny though - his overall strength and balance allows him to pull out fights like this.

I'm also shocked to see Gray lose like that. Diaz has some seriously advanced ju-jitsu skills. He was getting bloodied by Gray, but just kept going for the submission. Eventually he got it.

I gotta also say that Karo came off like a total dick head. Where does he get off acting like that on a show where he's not even a participant on?

Joe confirms this asshole personality in his latest blog.

Anyway, good luck to Joe vs. Brandon Melendez on the 23rd.

does anyone know if Joe/Rance has contacted the show for an interview?

I mean, UFC regularly promotes stuff with Liddell and Rogan and others through the show, might be cool to have a guy on who was a fan before he was famous. With the finals of TUF 5 coming up and all, it would be good timing.

Speaking of which, does anyone know if Joe is on the undercard for the finals? Sometimes they do that (Matt Hamil, etc) when a guy who is really good gets knocked out.

Bullslawdan - you need to read these two thread:

Also, did you read the post directly about yours?

What do you think I meant by this:

good luck to Joe vs. Brandon Melendez on the 23rd.

Jesus... okay i'm an idiot.

That's what I get for taking time off from WB to devote to pestgaming.com ;-)

Talk about a smart fucking fighter...

when they were interviewing him right afterwards he said when his opponent would give up his back, he'd go for the choke and then he'd squirm out of it. He said that he "noticed" that after that, his opponent would get on top and come in for a punch with his LEFT hand, and that the next time that happened, he was ready for it, and that's how he finally got that submission.

How smart is that? This guy is getting punched in the face and has the where-with-all to think about where that punch is coming from, notice a pattern, and then capitalize on that pattern for victory the next time it happens.

I like a fighter (and fight) like this SOOOOOOO much better than a one-lucky-punch knockout. What a great chess match that was.
