Joe Lauzon (25-10) vann via TKO över Takanori Gomi (35-11) i första ronden på UFC on FOX 16, men det var Lauzon själv som bestämde att Gomi hade fått nog och nu delar Lauzon med sig av sina tankar kring hela situationen.
Lauzon tog Gomis rygg och plattade sedan ut honom för att fortsätta med att slå slag tills Lauzon tyckte att Gomi hade fått nog och då reste sig Lauzon upp, men Herb Dean hade inte brytit matchen ännu. Herb Dean tittade sedan på Gomi och bröt sedan matchen innan Lauzon hann komma tillbaka. Lauzon tyckte att Gomi såg medvetslös ut och därför reste han sig upp och gick ifrån Gomi.
“I think I kind of jumped the gun a little bit,” sa Lauzon. “I hit him good a couple times. When I had his back, I spread him out and I think I tore something in his groin or something. He was fighting pretty hard, and then he let out like a squeal. And then he completely went flat. I felt like I had taken the life out of him. I hit him a couple times, and I thought he was unconscious. He looked out.”
“Herb Dean was right there,” sa Lauzon. “I figured if he’s unconscious, I figured I’d just beat him to putting his hands on me and I walked away. He looked at him and was checking him out, and I was like, ‘He’s not going to stop this.’ So then I started to run over. But before I got there, he waved me off.
