Lawrence (6-2) naaseb ala suurim võit tema karjääri. Viimati augustil kell RFA 17, 24-aastane silmatorkav tüse pildistatud vaba RFA Höyhensarjalainen tiitli besting Mark Dickman kaudu üksmeelse otsuse, mis oli Lõuna-Dakota kõige esimene sanktsioneeritud MMA maailma pealkiri võitlus. Win oli Lawrence teine ​​sirge võidu pärast liitumist 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, kus ta oli esimene üldine pick. On show, Lawrence salvestatud highlight reel KO 's RFA Maarjas ja praegune UFC star James Krause samuti PRIDE vet ja lõpliku UFC fighter Cristiano Marcello. Lawrence, Esimesed kaks-time Golden Kindad meister ja kaunistatud kickboxer, oli ainult 3-0 rekordi MMA ajal, kuid jõudis veerand finaali enne teenida “Fight öö” ja “KO öö” preemiad tema julm KO John Cofer oma UFC debüüdi. Lawrence, kes võitleb välja Alliance MMA Chula Vista, California, sooviks taas esitleda oma juttu silmatorkav oskusi oma esimese RFA Höyhensarjalainen pealkiri riigikaitse.

“Kui ma kuulsin ma oleks kaitsta minu vöö Lõuna-Dakota, Arvasin, et see on fantastiline,” Lawrence selgitas. “Sanford Pentagon on üks parimaid kohti, mida ma kunagi võidelnud. Ma tundsin end mugavalt, riietusruumi oli suurepärane, ja rahvast oli fantastiline. Sam Toomer on suurepärane sportlane hea parempoolne. Ma pean kasutama oma peksab, jalavaev, and out-finesse him. Ta on osutunud tituleerib, aga ma ootan andes talle oma esimese kaotuse.”

Toomer (9-0) on mees väljakutset Lawrence eest RFA kulda. Unlike most top mixed martial artists, like Lawrence, kes on pärit vaeva või silmatorkav taustaga, Toomer oli elukestva jalgpallur. Aga, 27-aastane kolledži jalgpalli kaitsev tagasi tegi eduka ülemineku MMA kasutades oma loomuliku athleticism, distsipliin, and unbreakable work ethic to compile an impressive 9-0 rekord aastast muutes oma pro debüüdi kolm aastat tagasi. Two of those wins have come in the past eight months after Toomer signed with the RFA. Toomer võitis oma RFA debüüdi RFA 15 Juunis valitsev jõudlus. Ühekülgne võitluses nägi oma vastane Daniel Aguiar saada diskvalifitseeritakse kolmanda vooru järel keeldus seista ja võidelda Toomer.

Detsembris, Toomer kindlustas tema puhul title tulistas vapper comeback võita Lyoto Machida soosik Altair Alencar at RFA 21. Toomer, kes võitleb välja Arena MMA San Diego, California, Nüüd on täiskäigu suurim ettevõtmine tema sportlik karjäär aprillis, kui ta vaidlustab väga touted RFA meister Lawrence oma pealkiri.

“Ta tunneb suurt saada võitlema RFA maailma pealkiri,” märkis Toomer. “Minu esimene paar kogemusi RFA on suur, aga see on minu esimene kord, kui põhiturniiri ja ootan, et võita tiitel. Justin Lawrence on suurepärane vastane ja meister põhjus. Ma ootan, et võttes põnev võitlus temaga RFA 25 Lõuna-Dakota.
