No longer fighting Saturday
Lauzon will no longer face Donald Cerrone at UFC 274 on Saturday since Cerrone is dealing with a non-COVID illness, Aaron Bronsteter of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
The matchup between Cerrone and Lauzon was removed from the card just hours before the two were scheduled to fight since Cerrone was dealing with an illness following Friday's weigh-in. Randy Brown and Khaos Williams will have their welterweight bout moved to the main card.

Not ruling out return
Lauzon would not fully commit to retirement following his defeat of Jonathan Pearce via TKO (punches) at UFC Fight Night in Boston on Friday, Damon Martin of MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lauzon surprisingly dominated Pearce on Friday, requiring just 93 seconds to pick up his first knockout win in nearly 3.5 years. Leading up to the fight, Lauzon said that he told Dana White that he would retire if the fight didn't go well, but he does not want to rule out a return if he decides he wants to fight again. "I might want to do it again at some point but not right now," Lauzon said. "I understand this is such a good thing, (and) we can end this on a positive note. I understand all of the pros to being done right now, and I'm not saying that I'm not going to do that. I'm just saying I'm not 100 percent committing to that." If Lauzon does return to the octagon, it would likely be a while and take an appealing opportunity to do so, but he wants to leave the door open in case that opportunity presents itself.
