Mixed martial arts career[edit]

The Ultimate Fighter: Nations[edit]

In December 2013, it was announced that Laprise would be a cast member on The Ultimate Fighter Nations: Canada vs. Australia, representing Canada at welterweight.[4] On the show, Laprise first defeated Chris Indich via decision[5] and Kajan Johnson via second round knockout.[6] Laprise won the show by defeating Olivier Aubin-Mercier by split decision at The Ultimate Fighter Nations Finale.[7] He was also the recipient of bonus awards for Fight of the Season and Performance of the Season.[8]
