During the UFC Boston post-fight scrum, Dana White revealed a supposed deal he had with Joe Lauzon. It was an agreement that had Lauzon retiring, no matter what the result is.
“Me and Joe Lauzon had a deal that he would retire after this fight, win, lose, or draw. And he didn’t do it,” White said.
In an interview with MMA Fighting on Monday, Lauzon didn’t deny the existence of their agreement, but went on to clarify the terms from his side.
“I promised them. If the fight doesn’t go well, you will never hear from me about a fight again,” Lauzon recalled of his conversation with UFC execs.
