Dan Lauzon Captures Lightweight Title at WCF 11
Jun 19, 2011
(PRESS RELEASE) -- World Championship Fighting 11 took place June
18th and provided an action-packed night of fights. In the night's
main event UFC veteran Dan "The Upgrade" Lauzon dominated opponent
Noah Weisman en route to 1st round knockout to capture the WCF
155lb Lightweight Championship. Both fighters came out aggressive
but it was Lauzon who was busier with his strikes. Weisman showed
good footwork and head movement to avoid major damage early on, but
it was only a matter of time before Lauzon landed a huge punch
which knocked Weisman to the mat. Lauzon, sensing his opportunity
to end the fight, followed Weisman down and unleashed a flurry of
punches which connected and left Weisman momentarily unconscious
for the Knockout victory. With the win Lauzon has cemented himself
as the top lightweight fighter in the Northeast
In the night's co-main event top ranked featherweights Anthony Leone and Bill Jones engaged in a back and forth ground war which saw both sides trading submission attempts and battling for position. In a controversial point during the match Leone was attempting a North South choke when it appeared to some as if Jones was tapping while others, including the referee, saw punching and open hand palm strikes from Jones as opposed to a tap. Another thrilling moment from this match saw Jones setting up a Peruvian Necktie choke while Leone took Jones for a ride and lifted him over his back to slam him. In the end it was Leone who came away with the decision win. Full results are below.
WCF fans were also treated with special guests in attendance such
