D-Lau Back in the Big Leagues, But No ‘Upgrade’ for UFC103
Dan Lauzon is out of a scheduled bout with Rafaello Oliveira at UFC 103 in Dallas, according to MMAWeekly.com sources.
Lauzon apparently suffered a back injury in training recently and will not be ready for the Sept. 19 event. He is expected to undergo an MRI in coming days to determine the full extent of the injury.
No information on a possible replacement was yet available.
Both Lauzon and Oliveira are acquisitions from a new sponsorship partnership between the Ultimate Fighting Championship and Affliction. The arrangement saw the UFC fold several Affliction fighters into its brand, while Affliction closed up shop on its fight promotion and returned as an official apparel sponsor of the UFC.
