Chad Laprise At TUF Nations Media Day, See Video

Chatham-Kent mixed martial artist Chad Laprise is only two days away from the biggest fight of his life, but you would never know it by watching the man go about his business at UFC Media Day today from the Hotel PUR in downtown Quebec City.

Laprise took part in his first UFC media day with the rest of the TUF finalists, including his opponent Olivier Aubin-Mercier and by all accounts the room was split right down the middle as to how this fight is going to play out. Laprise looked cool, composed and like he had been on this stage many times before during the interviews, and while talking to Aussie cast member Richard Walsh, he told me that Laprise has looked as focussed as he has ever seen him in the training sessions leading up to this week.

The pros in the know are calling it a pick ‘em fight, but the general consensus is that it is going to come down to Laprise’s ability to sprawl effectively. If he sprawls successfully, he wins the fight in easy fashion.

Chad gives his thoughts on his opponent, his team, the support he has behind him in Chatham-Kent and throughout Canada and who he thinks will win the middleweight finale.
