Laprise Looking For Redemption In Vancouver

Chad Laprise will be looking for a bounce back night August 27 when he steps into the cage to fight as part of UFC Fight Night Vancouver’s card.

Laprise, who had gone undefeated in his first 10 professional MMA fights, has lost two in a row, including most recently, a split decision loss to Ross Pearson this past March in Australia. Laprise took this fight on a weeks’ notice after Pearson’s original opponent could not perform.

Despite his recent losses, Laprise, a Chatham product, and Chatham-Kent Secondary School graduate still has a 3-2 UFC record.

Laprise will take on another fighter coming off a recent loss in France’s Thibault Gouti. Gouti enters the August 27 bout with an 11-2-0 professional record.
