Suffers second straight Round 1 KO loss
Laprise lost to Dhiego Lima via KO (punch) at 1:37 of Round 1 at UFC 231 on Saturday in Toronto.

Laprise was in desperate need of a solid performance on the heels of his first-round knockout loss to the talented Vicente Luque in May and it never materialized. Laprise's dreams of entering the title picture in the UFC's welterweight division are over.
