Lauzon victorious in first return to cage after UFC loss

UFC veteran Dan Lauzon was victorious Saturday night, defeating local favorite John Ortolani via TKO stoppage in the 2nd round. It was the first fight back for Lauzon since May’s loss to Ultimate Fighter winner Efrain Escudero.

Ortolani was previously undefeated and considered an appropriate match-up for the experience Lauzon. The professional lacross player was able to stay in the fight despite a hard-start and won the first round on two of the three judge’s scorecards.

Lauzon looked to be in great shape and was able to connect with a straight left on several occasions, finally dropping Ortolani and finishing the fight in the second round.
