Big upset earns contract
Lawrence defeated Jose Johnson via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. After the show, he was one of three fighters to be awarded an official UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence entered this fight as high as a (+255) betting underdog, but his relentless pursuit of takedowns led to him controlling all three rounds. He was unofficially awarded with 12 in the contest, which bodes well for his future fantasy scoring prospects, even if he's unable to get a finish. The 28-year-old improves to 6-1 as a pro, and hopes to be back in the Octagon as soon as a cut sustained under his right eye seals up (he said after the show that he was given a 30-day medical suspension by the commission).
