Lawrence (6-2) ritorni lejn is-sit ta 'l-akbar rebħa tal-karriera tiegħu. F'Awissu li għadda fi RFA 17, l stalwart impressjonanti ta '24 sena qodma maqbuda l-vakanti titolu featherweight RFA mill besting Mark Dickman via Deċiżjoni unanimu fil dak li kien sanzjonat ħafna ewwel ġlieda MMA titolu dinja South Dakota. Il-rebħa kienet it-tieni rebħa dritta Lawrence peress li tgħaqqad il-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, fejn kien l-ewwel pick globali. Fuq l-ispettaklu, Lawrence rukkell jenfasizzaw rrekordjata vet KO ta 'alumi RFA u stilla UFC attwali James Krause kif ukoll PRIDE u eventwali ġellied UFC Cristiano Marcello. Lawrence, ta 'żewġ time eks Golden Ingwanti champion u kickboxer dekorati, kellhom biss 3-0 rekord fl MMA fil-ħin, iżda laħqu l-kwarti tal-finali qabel jaqilgħu “Ġlieda tal-Lejl” u “KO tal-Lejl” bonuses għall KO vizzjuż tiegħu ta 'John Cofer fil debutt UFC tiegħu. Lawrence, li tissielet minn Alliance MMA fil Chula Vista, California, hija ħerqana li għal darb'oħra nuru l-ħiliet tiegħu impressjonanti vantat fl-ewwel difiża RFA titolu featherweight tiegħu.

“Ladarba I smajt Inkun jiddefendi ċinturin tiegħi fil South Dakota, Ħsibt li dan huwa tal-biża,” Lawrence spjegat. “Il Pentagon Sanford huwa wieħed mill-aħjar postijiet jien qatt ġġieldu fil. I felt komdu, il-kamra locker kien kbir, u l-folla kienet meraviljuż. Sam Toomer huwa atleta kbir bi lemin tajba. I ser ikollhom biex jużaw kicks tiegħi, footwork, and out-finesse him. Hu ppruvat li jkun isfidant denja, imma jien bil-ħerqa li tagħtih ewwel telf tiegħu.”

Toomer (9-0) se jkun il-bniedem sfida Lawrence għad-deheb RFA. Unlike most top mixed martial artists, like Lawrence, li ġejjin minn jitħabtu jew sfondi impressjonanti, Toomer kien plejer tal-futbol tul il-ħajja. Madankollu, l difensiva futbol kulleġġ 27-il sena back għamlet transizzjoni b'suċċess lejn MMA billi jutilizzaw athleticism naturali tiegħu, dixxiplina, and unbreakable work ethic to compile an impressive 9-0 rekord peress li tagħmel id-debutt pro tiegħu tliet snin ilu. Two of those wins have come in the past eight months after Toomer signed with the RFA. Toomer rebaħ debutt RFA tiegħu fil RFA 15 f'Ġunju bi prestazzjoni dominanti. Il-ġlieda one-sided raw avversarju tiegħu Daniel Aguiar nikseb skwalifikat fit-tielet rawnd wara li rrifjutaw li joħorġu u l-ġlieda Toomer. Il-rebħa DQ fuq Aguiar via timidity tpoġġi l-isem Toomer fuq il-mappa featherweight RFA bħala konkorrent titolu leġittimu. F'Diċembru, Toomer solidifikat każ tiegħu għal xi sparatura titolu ma rimonta rebħa Valiant fuq protégé Lyoto Machida Altair Alencar fil RFA 21. Toomer, li tissielet out ta 'L-MMA Arena f'San Diego, California, issa huwa gearing up għall-impriża akbar tal-karriera atletiċi tiegħu f'April, dan jikkontesta l-ċampjin RFA ferm touted Lawrence għat-titolu tiegħu.

“Hija tħoss kbira jkollna għall-ġlieda għall titolu dinja RFA,” Toomer iddikjarat. “Ewwel koppja ta 'esperjenzi tiegħi ma' l-RFA kienu kbar, iżda dan huwa tiegħi ewwel darba bħala l-avveniment prinċipali u nistenna bil-ħerqa li tirbaħ it-titolu. Justin Lawrence huwa opponent eċċellenti u l-champion għal raġuni. Jien ħerqana li jkollhom ġlieda eċċitanti miegħu fil RFA 25 fil South Dakota.

L-avveniment ko-prinċipali ta 'RFA 25 wkoll karatteristika ġlieda titolu bejn żewġ veterinarji RFA akkomplit, li jiġri li kemm silġ mill-Brażil. Gabriel “Zangief” Checco (8-1) għamel id-debutt internazzjonali tiegħu f'Ottubru fil-każ prinċipali ta 'RFA 19. Wara ġejjin up qasir fl-ewwel offerta tiegħu għat-titlu middleweight RFA dak il-lejl biex Jake Collier, li kien immedjatament ffirmat mill-UFC, Checco reġa 'beda b'mod kbar aktar kmieni dan ix-xahar fil 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. Checco issa se jiffaċċjaw countryman sħabi tiegħu u sħabi Jiu-Jitsu ċinturin iswed Francisco “Kiko” Franza (11-3-1) għat-titlu. France enters the fight with a ton of momentum after steamrolling his first two opponents in the RFA. F'Awissu li għadda, fl-ewwel vjaġġ tal-RFA biex South Dakota, France submitted local standout Isaac Appel with a first round Kimura. Huwa segwa up li s-suċċess bl-ewwel finitura ieħor tond fuq RFA 21 f'Diċembru. Hu għamel l-każ tiegħu għal titlu tir li lejl mill dispaċċ vet Bellator Mikey Gomez bl-ewwel round Arm-Trijangolu Ċowk.

RFA 25 se timmarka l-ritorn ta 'żewġ aktar veterinarji RFA fid-diviżjoni flyweight. Abel “Il Assassin Silent” Cullum (20-6) Se jkun twaqqa 'l isfel għal 125 liri għall-ewwel darba fil-karriera tiegħu MMA storied imb'wiċċ Sioux Falls Josh nattiva “Il Rage” Rave (24-11). Cullum għamel rimonta storybook dan it-tnaqqis fil-passat wara hiatus ta 'tliet snin mill-isport. Fil debutt RFA tiegħu fil RFA 18, Cullum sottomessa vet UFC Ulysses Gomez fil 89 sekondi. Erba 'ġimgħat wara fil RFA 19, huwa ppreżenta prospett quċċata Carl Deaton III fit-tieni rawnd. Cullum issa qtar stabbiliti għad-diviżjoni flyweight jiffaċċjaw Rave, li huwa l-flyweight MMA ġlied aktar akkomplit fl-istorja South Dakota. Rave se tkun ukoll riding intestatura momentum fis din il-ġlieda. Hu rebaħ tlieta mill-aħħar erba 'bouts tiegħu peress li tagħmel id-debutt RFA tiegħu fil RFA 2.

 

Fid-diviżjoni ħfief, RFA 25 se karatteristika l-ritorn ta 'T.J. “Il Karnivoru” Hepburn (4-0), li huwa żmien twil RFA fan favoriti. Huwa wkoll l- 2012 NCAA Division II wrestling national champion at 157 lbs. Hepburn se jiffaċċjaw sħabi prospett ħfief undefeated fl Larue “Il Cannibal” Burley (5-0), li se tkun qed tagħmel id-debutt tiegħu RFA ħafna antiċipat. Burley hija magħrufa bħala l-bniedem li taw blue-chip MMA prospett Bubba Jenkins ewwel telf tiegħu fl MMA.

 

Jenkins coincidentally fought on the same RFA 3 card kif Hepburn u huwa l- 2011 NCAA Division I lotta champion nazzjonali 157 lbs.

The main card will be rounded out with a middleweight bout pitting Anderson Silva protégé Khalil “Gwerra Horse” ROUNTREE (2-0) kontra Roufusport prospett Cameron Olsen (2-0) u bout flyweight li se tara prospett flyweight top-ranked Geane Herrera (7-0) battalja Ben Nguyen f'daqqa (13-5). Nguyen bħalissa huwa riding ta 'seba' ġlieda win Streak u ser jirritorna dar għal Sioux Falls wara li tagħmel isem għalih innifsu fl-Awstralja.

Il-karta preliminari huwa wkoll mgħobbija. Favourites fann lokali u veterinarji RFA Jordon Larson (5-1), Devin Clark (3-0), u Devin Turner (2-2) huma jirritornaw għall-ġlieda kontra fuq l-vjaġġ tar-ritorn ħafna antiċipat tal-RFA għall Hometown tagħhom ta 'Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
