Survives late surge to earn win
Lawrence defeated Mana Martinez via unanimous decision (29-27, 29-27, 29-28) at UFC 271 on Saturday in Houston.
ANALYSIS
"Defeated" is one term that applies. "Survived" is another. Lawrence obliterated Martinez for two rounds, scoring three knockdowns and four takedowns in ten minutes worth of action. The result here didn't appear to be in the least bit of doubt until Martinez nearly pulled off a miracle in Round 3 on the heels of a perfectly placed back fist followed by an extremely deep arm bar. Lawrence -- who has never been finished in his professional career -- somehow managed to hang on to see the final bell. The late struggles aside, Lawrence has shown extremely well over the course of his first two official UFC bouts. He's powerful, extremely active, and as we saw in this one, durable as all heck.

Fight scrapped
Lawrence's fight against Trevin Jones has been scrapped, Mike Heck of MMAFighting.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence's body reportedly 'shut down' due to his massive weight cut and needed to cancel the fight. The 31-year-old notched a TKO (punches) win over Vince Cachero in Feb. in his UFC debut. His record is 7-1-0 in MMA so far and he will look to improve that record once he finds a new opponent.

Picks up injuries in debut
Lawrence is facing a 180-day medical suspension from the Nevada Athletic Commission pending X-rays on both left foot and left ribs injuries, USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Lawrence was one of the highlights of the night on the UFC Vegas 20 undercard, as the bantamweight fighter picked up a third-round stoppage and $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. His 17-plus minutes in the cage may have resulted in multiple injuries, however, so he'll need to get orthopedic clearance if he wishes to return before the fall.
