Joe Lauzon
A third bout has been added to the upcoming UFC on FOX 4 card, pitting exciting lightweights Joe Lauzon (21-7) and Terry Etim (15-4) against one another at the Los Angeles event.
A lightweight scrap between two always-entertaining fighters has been verbally agreed to, as Joe Lauzon and Terry Etim will test their slick submission skills against one another.
UFC on FOX: Stann vs. Lombard (aka UFC on FOX 4) is expected to take place on August 4, 2012 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. The FOX television event is headlined by a middleweight bout between former Marine Brian Stann and former Bellator champ Hector Lombard. The co-main event, although not announced, will see former light heavyweight champ Lyoto Machida take on Ryan Bader.
This should be an exciting bout between Lauzon and Etim as the two fighters own a total of twelve “Fight Night” bonuses between them.
Lauzon’s “Fight Night” bonus streak ended at six after a loss in his last fight. Lauzon was knocked out in the first round at UFC 144 in Japan after former WEC champ Anthony Pettis caught him with a head kick to end the fight at 1:21. The defeat ended a two fight win streak, which saw Lauzon pick up two “Submission of the Night” bonuses after finishing Melvin Guillard and Curt Warburton.
Etim picked up a “Fight of the Night” bonus in a loss to Edson Barboza last January at UFC 142. Barboza ended things with a spinning wheel kick in the third round to win by knockout at the Brazil show. Etim picked up a win, as well as a “Submission of the Night” bonus in his previous match, using a guillotine choke to tap out Eddie Faaloloto at UFC 138 in just 17-seconds of the first round.
