BOSTON – Saturday’s UFC 292 marks the seventh card the promotion has held in Boston, but it is the first of the bunch without a single New England representative competing.
Among the local fighters watching the event as a fan will be lightweight Joe Lauzon, who has not competed since 2019, but remains open to another fight or two should a prime opportunity present itself.
At a Q&A held Friday at TD Garden prior to ceremonial faceoffs, Lauzon (28-15 MMA, 15-12 UFC) confirmed, as reported previously by MMA Junkie, he saw UFC 292 as an event that excited him and attempted to get on the card, but was turned down. He added he also requested a specific opponent.
