Joe Lauzon is out of his scheduled matchup with Donald Cerrone this Saturday at UFC Austin.
The two were initially paired up for UFC 274 last month but the contest was called off after Donald Cerrone suffered food poisoning from eating tacos. It marked the first time Cerrone had to withdraw from a fight and the pair were moved to another date for their matchup.
This time around, Joe Lauzon has pulled out of the bout, again on fight day like Cerrone, due to health issues. Ariel Helwani broke the news of the fight being called off first on Twitter.
“Cerrone-Lauzon is off. Again.”
“Pretty wild. Last month, canceled on fight day because Cerrone got sick. Today, canceled on fight day because of a health issue with Lauzon. He weighed in yesterday but didn’t show up to the ceremonials because he wasn’t feeling well.”
The grizzled veterans Lauzon and Cerrone have been a longstanding fixture of the UFC. Lauzon has remained out of competition for about three years since his last outing against Jonathan Pearce in October 2019, a bout he won via TKO.
Meanwhile, Cerrone has been the more active fighter competing four more times after Lauzon’s latest outing. While Cerrone has contested in more bouts, he has dropped five out of his last six with one no contest. His last win came in 2019, the same year Lauzon last made the walk to the cage.
UFC President Dana White had indicated that the loser would leave town, making it a retirement fight for at least one of the two. However, there has been speculation that it may serve as the final bout for both men regardless of the victor.
It remains to be seen how the UFC decides to proceed ahead, whether they rebook it to a later date or cancel the idea altogether.

UFC featherweights Calvin Kattar and Josh Emmett will compete in the company’s return to Texas.
Emmett is looking to continue his winning streak to become the next featherweight title challenger. His last loss was against Jeremy Stephens when the UFC was still airing on Fox on Feb. 24, 2018.
After taking a year off, Emmett began his four-fight win streak, defeating Michael Johnson by knockout at UFC on ESPN 2 on Mar. 30, 2019. A win over Kattar puts Emmett in serious conversation to fight for the UFC featherweight championship.
Kattar is hoping to have a winning streak and remain a threat in the division. The “Boston Finisher” had to take almost a year off from fighting after his grueling unanimous decision loss to Max Halloway at UFC on ABC 1 on Jan. 16, 2021.
He returned, defeating rising featherweight contender Giga Chikadze by unanimous decision at UFC Vegas 46 on Jan. 15. A win over Emmett could make the UFC consider making him fight for the featherweight title next, especially if Holloway is able to reclaim the championship from Alex Volkanovski at UFC 276 on Jul. 2.

Joe Lauzon had a “gut feeling” that his fight with Donald Cerrone wasn’t going to happen at UFC 274.
Lauzon and Cerrone were slated to compete in lightweight action on the main card of the pay-per-view (PPV) event from the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona. However, hours before the event was to get underway, Cerrone was forced to pull out of the fight due to a non-COVID-related illness.
It was later revealed that Cerrone had a very bad bout of food poisoning that was not allowing him to fight. Speaking to Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Lauzon opened up on the frustration of not being able to fight after putting in the work of a hard training camp.
He also revealed that, oddly enough, he had a funny feeling leading up to the fight that it was never going to happen.
“For two days I kept saying, I had this gut feeling that the fight’s not gonna happen. I’ve never felt like this before ever,” Lauzon said. “I feel like it’s the stupidest thing, I know Cowboy would show up with a broken leg and fight with a broken leg, but I get this weird gut feeling that the fight is not gonna happen.”
Lauzon revealed that his coach woke him up from a nap the afternoon of the event, letting him know the bad news. At 37-years-old, Lauzon has admitted that he’s winding down in his mixed martial arts (MMA) career, and doesn’t have many fights left. In fact, this fight against Cerrone likely could’ve been his last.
When asked if he plans to fight again, Lauzon said he’s undecided, but he’d hate for his career to end on this note.
“I don’t know. I have no idea. How sh*tty is it to have it go out like that, though?” Lauzon asked.
Fortunately, it has since been revealed that the Cerrone/Lauzon bout has been rescheduled for June 18 in August, Texas. Let’s hope that Lauzon’s gut feeling does not re-emerge this time out.
