I osećao udobno, svlačionici je bilo super, a publika je bila fantastična. Sam Toomer je veliki sportaš s dobrim desnom rukom. Ja ću morati da koristim udaraca, rad nogu, and out-finesse him. On je dokazao da je dostojan challenger, ali Radujem se dajući mu prvi poraz.”

Toomer (9-0) će biti čovjek izazovan Lawrence za RFA zlato. Unlike most top mixed martial artists, like Lawrence, koji dolaze iz grappling ili upečatljiv pozadine, Toomer bio doživotno fudbaler.
