Joe Lauzon (Pictured) doesn’t fight until Saturday at UFC 155, but the lightweight is already a big winner this Holiday season.
Sometimes, drunken bets can cost you a boatload of money. This time, it cost UFC president Dana White $6,000.
After winning a couple of grappling tournaments, Nick “The Tooth” Gullo (It’ll only take you a second to figure out how he earned his nickname), started popping off at the mouth one intoxicated night claiming he could out-grapple Lauzon.
Once White caught wind of his longtime friend’s chatter, he set the stage for a showdown before the curtain was drawn on “UFC on FOX 5.” During one, three-minute round, White would pay Lauzon $1,000 for each time he submitted “The Tooth” and Gullo would pocket $2,500 for each time he tapped the professional fighter.
Lauzon may have swept the grappling match 6-0, but “The Tooth” clearly had the best walkout song. (Will anything ever top “You’re the Best Around”?)
“J-Lau” co-headlines UFC 155 this weekend against Jim Miller.

As my mom used to preach, ‘Tattoos are forever and you’ll always have to explain why you got what you got and why you decided to put it there.’ The same holds true for celebrities, only to a much greater extent. Famous people can get criticized and chastised for their body art because it’s on display for the entire planet to see.
