Joe’s Next Fight in the UFC, June 26th

Joe posted on his blog:

“I got a call on Saturday night from UFC Matchmaker Joe Silva, and after we talked about his awesome mancave in his basement… he asked how I was feeling. Told him I was healthy and training hard and looking to fight. He was happy and said he had someone for me. I am fighting Curt Warburton.

Curt has had two fights in the UFC, and is 1-1. He lost a decision to Spencer Fisher in his debut and is coming off a win over Maciej Jewtuszko. Curt is out of Liverpool, England and trains with Michael Bisping.

The fight will be June 26th, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Training starts… yesterday.”

Updated Schedule for the next week or so…

As I am sure everyone knows, Dan and I are both fighting this weekend at UFC 108 in Las Vegas. The school is going to be very slow this week and some of the classes are being moved around a bit because so many people are going out, and its New Years. The following changes are in place…

Wednesday 12/30: No Day Class at noon
Thursday 12/31: No Classes (New Years Eve)
Friday 1/1: No Classes (New Years Day)
Saturday 1/2: No Team Training (Everyone will be in Vegas for the fight)
Monday: 1/4: No Day Class at noon (Everyone will be flying home from Vegas)

I am sure everyone understands. We just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

New Schedule

Please take note of the new schedule that will be starting June 29th. We have moved the boxing classes from up from 7:00 to 6:30 so that we could extend the Wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu and Submission Grappling classes to 90 minutes (they were 60 minutes). There is a slight overlap in the Team Training on Tuesday/Thursday and the Submission Grappling Classes, but that was intended and you can still do both. The first 30 minutes of those classes will be a longer warm up and drilling and will allow those doing team training to jump into technique.

On Mondays, Wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu take place at the same time, so you can do one class or the other.

If you have any questions, just ask.

May Newsletter

As you may have noticed, the name of our school has been changed from Reality Self Defense to Lauzon MMA. This is because our own Joe Lauzon took over as majority owner last August. We thought that having a monthly newsletter would be a good way of letting people know about what’s going on for the future, so this is the first installment. A special thanks to Matt Perry for getting this going. Read more >>

Welcome to the new site for Lauzon MMA

This is our new site. We were looking for a way to keep people up to date on what’s going on around the gym, so this is it.
