UFC lightweight Joe Lauzon has stated that his next fight could be his last.<\/p>\n

‘J-Lau’ was last seen in action in October 2019, stopping Jonathan Pearce in the first round. Following that bout, many questioned if the 38-year-old was retired. He had no bout announcements for nearly three years, before being booked against<\/a> Donald Cerrone.<\/p>\n

Joe Lauzon and ‘Cowboy’ were first set to fight in April, before having the bout moved to UFC 274. However, on fight day, Cerrone came down with an illness and the fight was canceled. They’re now booked<\/a> to fight at UFC Austin later this month.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the contest, Donald Cerrone has stated that it will be his second to the last bout. Joe Lauzon has now shared a rough retirement outline on MMA Junkie Radio. The 38-year-old admitted that his fight with Cerrone could be his last.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old did also admit that his retirement plans are dependent on how the fight with Cerrone goes. If he does well, he could be back in the octagon. However, if he loses badly, that’ll likely be a wrap for the future Hall of Famer’s career.<\/p>\n

\"Joe<\/p>\n

\u201cIt could be the last one. I\u2019m not saying that to try and tease people. It could be the last one, I have no idea. This is now almost like a second camp. We just did the entire \u2018Cowboy\u2019 camp for Phoenix, and now we\u2019re doing like a shortened, six-week camp for Austin, Texas. So this is like a whole second fight. It feels like it\u2019s been a whole second camp. It\u2019s just been a lot of wear and tear, a very grinding process.\u201d (h\/t MMAJunkie<\/em><\/a>)<\/p>\n

Joe Lauzon continued, \u201cI personally don\u2019t want to put my wife through another [experience of] me getting my butt kicked or getting knocked out or something like that. If it happened one more time, then that\u2019s definitely the end of it. If I go out, and I fight \u2018Cowboy,\u2019 and he kicks me in the face, you don\u2019t have to hear from me. I\u2019m telling you right now, that will be the last fight.”<\/p>\n
