PUBLICITY:

The seemingly ageless Joe Lauzon , 42, is about to embark on a new adventure in combat sports. Having not fought since 2019, the former UFC fighter is now part of Bare Knuckle FC, the world's largest bare-knuckle boxing organization, and already knows when he will debut. The company itself announced that the veteran will be in action on August 29th in Boston (USA), but is keeping his opponent a secret.

But it's not all roses for the American. The news has generated concern among fans due to Lauzon's advanced age for combat sports, his complete inactivity, his expertise in jiu-jitsu, and his lack of boxing experience. Nevertheless, the veteran, who has fought 27 times in the UFC, earned 15 bonuses, and achieved prominence in the lightweight division (up to 70,3 kg), seems excited about this new career opportunity.
