53-fight veteran John Gunderson withdraws from Bellator 128, retires from MMA

BAD MMA News — Tue, 30 Sep 2014 22:50:46 +0000

Veteran MMA lightweight John Gunderson is hanging up his gloves after more than a 12-year run fighting in promotions such as IFL, WSOF and the UFC. Gunderson, a native of Medford, Ore., retires with a professional record of 35-16-2. He made his professional debut after boxing as an amateur in the Pacific Northwest and at one point held several regional titles before moving to bigger events. Gunderson, 35, was scheduled to add another major promotion to his resume with a scheduled fight against Alexander Sarnavskiy at Bellator 128, but told MMAjunkie he withdrew from the October event, citing a lack of drive to compete and desire to move into other ventures. A Bellator official said Sarnavskiy (28-2 MMA, 4-2 BMMA) now is scheduled to fight Derek Campos (15-4 MMA, 4-2 BMMA) at the event, which takes place at WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Okla. The event’s main card airs live on Spike TV following prelims on Spike.com

WSOF 3′s John Gunderson talks split from Xtreme Couture, rebirth at Syndicate

BAD MMA News — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 23:10:00 +0000

World Series of Fighting lightweight John Gunderson long considered Las Vegas’ Xtreme Couture his home gym. But in the past year, he had a change of heart. Gunderson (34-14-2), who meets Dan Lauzon (16-4) tonight at WSOF 3, had taken up coaching to earn a living between fights, but also wanted to work with the best professionals in town. “I wanted to be involved with a good MMA team, and I just felt like Xtreme Couture wasn’t it,” he told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). WSOF 3 takes place at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The event’s main card airs live on NBC Sports Network following prelims on MMAjunkie.com, which hosts Gunderson vs. Lauzon

WSOF 3′s Dan Lauzon on 2011 stabbing, frustrating layoff, recommitment to MMA

BAD MMA News — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 20:15:00 +0000

After 18 months of one canceled fight after another, Dan Lauzon is busy, focused and – perhaps most importantly – staying out of trouble. “I want to stay as busy as possible,” Lauzon told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). “When I have something set up – a (fight) date and something to look forward to – that’s when I’m most focused and most motivated, and I stay on top of things. It’s all the downtime … when I’m running around with my crazy-ass friends and lose some of my focus.” Lauzon’s focus has been evident as he prepares for Friday’s World Series of Fighting 3 bout with fellow UFC vet and lightweight John Gunderson (34-14-2)
