Despite the shocking win Lauzon was still cast to the fifth season of The Ultimate Fighter. On the show Lauzon defeated Brian Geraghty and Cole Miller before being defeated in the semi-finals by Manny Gamburyan. Lauzon fought his second official UFC fight on the finale of the series defeating Brandon Melendez by submission

Although he recently underwent knee surgery he is expected to be fully recovered in time for his November fight. Prior to the fight he is expected to be moving to Hawaii to train with B.J. Penn.
