Lauzon to Make BKFC Debut at Fenway Park After UFC Green Light

Joe Lauzon confirms he isn’t retired and is set to make his bare-knuckle debut for BKFC on Aug. 29 at Fenway Park. UFC approval followed talks with Hunter Campbell, and Lauzon stresses the move isn’t about money but the unique Fenway opportunity. He had previously pursued a UFC return against Donald Cerrone that fell through, and while still under UFC contract, he’s taking the chance to fight at the historic venue and will assess his future plans after the Aug. 29 event.
