Joe Lauzon vs. Diego Sanchez added to UFC 181
Norman Parke had to withdraw from his scheduled UFC 181 fight with Diego Sanchez due to injury. Hints began dropping that Joe Lauzon may have been a replacement for Parke when the lightweight with the post post fight performance bonuses in UFC history sent out a cryptic Instagram photo along side text that read “What have I done?”
UFC President Dana White then confirmed that the fight is indeed scheduled for the Fight Card in Mexico City. The UFC’s first trip to Mexico is headlined by a heavyweight title bout between champion Cain Velasquez and contender, Fabricio Werdum.
