Former UFC lightweight Dan Lauzon tapped his late-replacement opponent, Frank Latina, in a triangle choke at 3:01 of the first round at the World Championship Fighting event in  Wilmington, Massachusetts Friday. Lauzon, 8-2, cranked up after a straight right bent his head backwards.  The fight hit the mat and Lauzon took Latina, 4-1, through a list of submissions before sinking the final technique. Lauzon's fight will be featured in a future episode of "TapouT", an MMA reality show on the Versus network hosted by the founders of the TapouT apparel line. "The Upgrade" Lauzon is noted as the youngest fighter to appear in the UFC at 18-years old in October 2006, losing to Spencer Fisher.  His win versus Latina may have been an audition for a gig in the WEC. Also on the card, Henrique Bicalho tapped Jason Bennett at 2:15 of the first round. Nate Kittredge fell to 2-1 after a disqualification loss to Ronnie Wuest at 1:40 of the first.
