\"Joe<\/a><\/p>\n

UFC vet Joe Lauzon was one of the fighters to air his displeasure with the original UFC Reebok payment structure, which was set to be based on rankings.<\/p>\n

Now, with the payment plan set to be based on tenure, Lauzon is changing his tune a little bit. Here’s what he said on MMAJunkie Radio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m obviously very, very happy about the change. I went from being basically bottom tier to close to the top tier. I think I\u2019m in the second tier because I think it\u2019s like 21 fights plus. I think I\u2019m in the 16 to 20; this is going to be my 19th fight. I definitely think it\u2019s a better way of doing it.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOf course I\u2019m going to be a little bit biased because I\u2019ve had so many fights. I look at it as I\u2019ve had a lot of fights. I\u2019ve paid dues. It kind of makes more sense. I\u2019m one of those guys that got the UFC some good recognition and some good attention.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
