UFC 123 Analysis: George Sotiropoulos vs. Joe Lauzon—Lightweights, Round 1

Ahem, my picks aren't coming flying out of the gates.

Lauzon just spent about five minutes making my proclamation of Sotiropoulos' incremental-but-general superiority look rather moronic. Not only did J-Lau obliterate the Aussie while standing, but he also sprawled with relative ease and thus avoided many of the numerous takedown attempts.

Eventually, the Massachusetts native gassed and slowed noticeably, but it was late enough that George couldn't make up enough ground. Call it 10-9 for Lauzon.
