Last Aogositra ao amin'ny RFA 17, ny 24 taona manaitra nivadika, nahafaka ny banga RFA featherweight lohatenin'ny amin'ny besting Mark Dickman niarahana niombon-kevitra tamin'ny alalan'ny Fanapahan-kevitra amin'ny izay Dakota Atsimo ny MMA voasazy voalohany izao tontolo izao lohateny ady. Ny fandresena faharoa i Lawrence mahitsy ny fandresena hatramin'ny fidirana ny 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, izay izy no angady ankapobeny voalohany. Ary tamin'ny seho, Lawrence voarakitra Reel KO nisongadina ny ny RFA sy ny amin'izao fotoana izao UFC alum kintana James Krause sy NY FIREHAREHANA vet sy Cristiano farany mpiady UFC Marcello.

Toomer, izay miady amin'ny The Arena MMA any San Diego, California, gearing ankehitriny ho ny goavana indrindra ny ara-panatanjahantena maintsy nataon'ireo asa tamin'ny Aprily, rehefa fanamby ny tena tompon-daka-touted RFA Lawrence noho ny anaram-boninahitra.
