Lawrence (6-2) ar ais go dtí an suíomh ar an bua is mó de a ghairm bheatha. Lúnasa seo caite ag RFA 17, an stalwart 24-bliain d'aois buailte gabhadh an teideal folamh featherweight RFA trí besting Mark Dickman via Cinneadh d'aon ghuth i méid a bhí an-an chéad ceadaithe troid i teideal domhan MMA South Dakota ar. Ba é an bua an dara bua díreach Lawrence ón uair a cheanglaíonn na 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, áit a raibh sé ar an chéad Pioc foriomlán. Ar an seó, Spól aird a tharraingt taifeadta tréidlia ko de RFA alúm agus réalta UFC reatha James Krause, chomh maith le PRIDE Lawrence agus deireadh UFC Trodaire Cristiano Marcello. Lawrence, iar dhá-am Lámhainní Órga curadh agus kickboxer maisithe, ach bhí 3-0 taifead i MMA ag an am, ach tháinig an ceathrú ceannais roimh tuilleamh “An comhrac ar an Oíche” agus “Ko den Oíche” bónais as a chuid ko fí de John Cofer i sé ar an bhfoireann UFC. Lawrence, a troideanna as Alliance MMA i Chula Vista, California, Tá fonn a thaispeáint arís a chuid scileanna buailte vaunted ina chéad chosaint teideal featherweight RFA.

“Chomh luath agus a chuala mé ba mhaith liom a bheith a chosaint mo crios i Dakota Theas, Shíl mé go bhfuil sé seo uamhnach,” Lawrence Mhínigh. “Tá an Peinteagán Sanford ar cheann de na hionaid is fearr mé throid riamh i. Bhraith mé compordach, bhí an seomra KRunner mór, agus bhí an slua iontach. Is sam TOOMER lúthchleasaí mór le lámh dheis maith. Feicfidh mé a úsáid as mo thosaíonn, footwork, and out-finesse him. Sé cruthaithe a bheith ina iomaitheoir fiú, ach táim ag súil le a thabhairt dó a chéad caillteanais.”

TOOMER (9-0) Beidh an fear dúshlánach Lawrence do RFA ór. Unlike most top mixed martial artists, like Lawrence, a thagann ó grappling nó chúlraí buailte, Bhí TOOMER imreoir peile ar feadh an tsaoil. Mar sin féin, tá an cosanta peile choláiste 27 bliain d'aois a aistriú rathúil go MMA rinne ais trí úsáid a bhaint a athleticism nádúrtha, smacht, and unbreakable work ethic to compile an impressive 9-0 taifead ó déanamh sé ar an bhfoireann pro trí bliana ó shin. Two of those wins have come in the past eight months after Toomer signed with the RFA. Bhuaigh TOOMER sé ar an bhfoireann RFA ag RFA 15 i mí an Mheithimh le feidhmíocht ceannasach. An comhrac in aon-Thaobh a chonaic a chéile comhraic Daniel Aguiar fháil dícháilithe sa tríú babhta tar éis diúltú chun seasamh agus troid TOOMER. An bua DQ thar Aguiar trí Timidity a chur an t-ainm TOOMER ar an léarscáil featherweight RFA mar contender teideal dlisteanach. I mí na Nollag, TOOMER solidified a chás do lámhaigh teideal le bua comeback valiant thar Lyoto Machida protege Altair Alencar ag RFA 21. TOOMER, a troideanna as an MMA Arena i San Diego, California, Tá ullmhú anois le haghaidh an ngnóthas is mó de a ghairm bheatha Lúthchleas Gael i mí Aibreáin, mar dúshláin sé an RFA curadh ard-touted Lawrence as a chuid teidil.

“Mhothaíonn sé iontach ag fáil le dul i ngleic le haghaidh teidil domhan RFA,” TOOMER luaite. “Mo chéad cúpla taithí leis an RFA a bheith mór, ach tá sé seo mo chéad uair mar an imeacht is mó, agus tá mé ag súil le a bhuaigh an teideal. Is Justin Lawrence chéile comhraic den scoth agus an curadh ar chúis. Tá mé ag súil go mór a bhfuil gcomhrac spreagúil leis ag RFA 25 i Dakota Theas.

An imeacht comh-is mó de RFA 25 Beidh gné freisin troid teideal idir dhá tréidlianna RFA gcrích, a tharlaíonn an dá clocha sneachta ón mBrasaíl. Gabriel “Zangief” Checco (8-1) rinne sé ar an bhfoireann idirnáisiúnta i mí Dheireadh Fómhair i gcás is mó de RFA 19. Tar éis teacht suas gearr ina chéad tairiscint le haghaidh an teideal i mBoston RFA oíche go Jake Collier, a shínigh láithreach ag an UFC, Checco rebounded ar bhealach mór níos luaithe an mhí seo ag RFA 23. He made a huge statement with a blistering first round knockout of the highly-touted The Ultimate Fighter 11 cast member Joseph Henle. Beidh Checco aghaidh anois a countryman eile agus eile jiu jitsu-crios dubh Francisco “Kiko” France (11-3-1) don teideal. France enters the fight with a ton of momentum after steamrolling his first two opponents in the RFA. Lúnasa seo caite, sa chéad turas ar an RFA a Dakota Theas, France submitted local standout Isaac Appel with a first round Kimura. Lean sé suas go rath leis an gcéad bhabhta bailchríoch eile ag RFA 21 i mí na Nollag. Rinne sé a cás do teideal lámhaigh oíche ag seolta Bellator VET Mikey Gomez le chéad bhabhta lámh-Triantán Choke.

RFA 25 Beidh marc ar ais dhá níos mó tréidlianna RFA sa roinn flyweight. Abel “An Assassin Chiúin” Cullum (20-6) a dropping síos go dtí 125-punt den chéad uair ina MMA gairme storied chun aghaidh a Sioux Falls Josh dúchais “An Rage” Rave (24-11).
