lil evil vs lauzon confirmed for UFC 63
rumor confirmed for lil evils return at ufc 63 against lauzon, dont know if its been posted yet but here it is from ufc.com
Jens Pulver, the only lightweight champion in the history of the UFC, is back, and on Saturday, September 23rd, at the Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim, California, ‘Lil Evil’ will enter the Octagon for the first time in over four years when he takes on UFC newcomer Joe Lauzon at UFC 63.
And though Lauzon (12-3) will be making his UFC debut against one of the top 155-pounders in the world, according to Pulver (21-6-1), he’s treating this fight as if it’s a title match.
“ People have made this mistake of thinking that I’m overlooking somebody, but I’m not overlooking this kid,” he said. “I don’t overlook anything. I’m just as nervous as he is – I ain’t been in the UFC for four years. I’m working on my stuff because MMA has been around long enough where we can all grapple, we can all box, and we can all clinch in between. It’s just a matter of who does it better and harder. I know he’s a strong kid and he loves grappling. He’s got good grappling technique and tries some wild stuff and it works. This is a world title fight to me because the truth is, if I lose to this kid, I don’t get that shot.”
Lauzon is a native of Brockton, Massachusetts, the city that produced legendary boxing champions Rocky Marciano and Marvin Hagler. He’s look to add to that city’s combat sports legacy beginning on September 23rd.
