More than 15 years after his UFC debut, fan-favorite Joe Lauzon returns to the famed octagon at UFC274 with an unclear future following a long hiatus. JohnMorgan_MMA caught up with JoeLauzon before Saturday’s bout
But the reason fan interest is high in the matchup isn't simply the tenure each man has on the roster. As Lauzon mentioned, the number of performance bonuses earned by the two is astonishing, with Cerrone taking home a UFC-record 18 such awards and Lauzon third all-time with 15 recognitions.
"I think that, you know, short of Conor McGregor, 'Cowboy' is probably the most well-known fighter there is," Lauzon said. "I mean, he's in all kinds of stuff, and he's just got a great Instagram and great social media presence. He's doing movies.
"I think it comes down just to wear and tear and how many times do I get hit in the head? I mean, like, I don't want to get hit in the head at all, ever. I mean, I try to have good defense, but sometimes you get cracked and you've got to keep on pushing through and you've got to go through it. Once you come out and you're in there, you're in there. It'd be very easy to like, 'Oh, that was a good one. We're done.
