LOS ANGELES – Joe Lauzon would have preferred a full camp to train for his opponent.
Who wouldn’t? But Lauzon realizes short-notice opponents are sometimes the nature of the beast in MMA. And besides, for his Saturday fight with Jamie Varner at UFC on FOX 4, Lauzon doesn’t consider himself in a lose-lose situation, even if Varner is thought to be in win-win territory.
“I’m not training for the fighter – I’m training for the bonus,” Lauzon on Wednesday told MMAjunkie.com after a workout. “I’m going after that submission, I’m going after that knockout, whatever it’s got to be. But I always have something to win.”
