I want to thank the UFC for everything they have done for me and my family. They literally have changed my life for the best. It has been an amazing journey and a ton of memories. More importantly I want to thank all my friends, family and everyone that supported me and toy my family at Lauzon MMA train hard because dreams do come true!”
