Lawrence (6-2) mobalik sa dapit sa mga pinakadako nga kadaugan sa iyang career. Sa miaging Agosto sa RFA 17, ang 24-ka-tuig-ang panuigon talagsaong lig-on nga nadakpan sa bakanteng RFA featherweight title pinaagi sa gipilde Mark Dickman pinaagi sa Inuyunan sa Tanan sa Desisyon sa unsa ang South Dakota ni labing unang pagtugot MMA world title fight. Ang kadaugan maoy Lawrence ni ikaduhang daog sukad pagpasakop sa RFA. Before that he had gained worldwide notoriety as a star on the fifteenth season of the UFC’s hit reality show The Ultimate Fighter, diin siya mao ang una nga kinatibuk-ang pick. Sa show, Lawrence narekord nga highlight nagatangotango tungod KO ni sa RFA alum ug kasamtangang UFC star James Krause ingon man PRIDE vet ug sa ngadto-ngadto UFC fighter Cristiana Marcello. Lawrence, usa ka kanhi nga duha ka-time Golden Gloves champion ug bugkosan kickboxer, lamang adunay usa ka 3-0 rekord sa MMA sa panahon, apan miabut sa quarter-finals sa wala pa angkon “Fight sa Night” ug “KO sa Night” bonuses alang sa iyang mapintas nga KO ni Juan Cofer diha sa iyang UFC debut. Lawrence, nga away gikan sa Alliance MMA sa Chula Vista, California, mao ang naghinam-hinam sa pag-usab sa mopakita sa iyang gipanghambog talagsaong mga kahanas sa iyang unang RFA featherweight title defense.

“Sa higayon nga ako nakadungog ako sa pagdepensa sa akong bakus sa South Dakota, Nga ako naghunahuna niini mao ang makalilisang,” Lawrence mipasabut. “Ang Sanford Pentagon mao ang usa sa labing maayo nga dapit nga sukad akong nakig-away sa. Mibati ko nga komportable, ang locker lawak daku, ug ang panon sa katawhan mao ang hinanduraw. Sam Toomer mao ang usa ka dako nga nga atleta uban sa usa ka maayo nga tuo nga kamot. Ako adunay sa paggamit sa akong mga patid, footwork, and out-finesse him. Siya napamatud-an nga usa ka takus nga challenger, apan ako motan-aw sa unahan sa paghatag kaniya sa iyang unang kapildihan.”

Toomer (9-0) mao ang tawo nga naghagit sa Lawrence alang sa RFA sa bulawan. Unlike most top mixed martial artists, like Lawrence, nga moabut gikan sa nakiglayog o talagsaong kaagi, Toomer mao ang usa ka tibuok kinabuhi nga football player. Apan, sa 27-ka-tuig-ang panuigon sa kolehiyo football depensiba balik nga naghimo sa usa ka malampuson nga transisyon ngadto sa MMA pinaagi sa paggamit sa iyang natural nga athleticism, disiplina, and unbreakable work ethic to compile an impressive 9-0 nga rekord sukad sa paghimo sa iyang pro debut sa tulo ka tuig na ang milabay. Two of those wins have come in the past eight months after Toomer signed with the RFA. Toomer nakadaog sa iyang RFA debut sa RFA 15 sa Hunyo uban sa usa ka dominanteng performance. Ang usa ka-Palaro away nakakita sa iyang kontra Daniel Aguiar na disqualify sa ikatulong round human sa pagdumili sa pagbarug ug makig-away Toomer. Ang DQ kadaugan ibabaw sa Aguiar pinaagi pagkamaulawon gibutang Toomer sa ngalan sa RFA featherweight mapa nga ingon sa usa ka lehitimong title contender. Sa Disyembre, Toomer mipalig-on sa iyang kaso alang sa usa ka title shot uban sa usa ka maisug nga comeback nga kadaugan batok Lyoto Machida Protégé Altair Alencar sa RFA 21.
