UFC Fight Night: Ronnie Lawrence vs Trevin Jones Fight Breakdown and Prediction
Ronnie Lawrence earned the Performance of the Night in his debut fight after he knocked out Vince Cachero at UFC Fight Night: Rozenstruik vs Gane. Similarly his opponent this weekend Trevin Jones also secured his first win in the promotion via knockout against Mario Bautista at UFC 263.
Therefore by looking at their recent performances fans can expect a finish in this contest. However, moving on to the styles of the two fighters. The Heat is an excellent wrestler who showcased his grappling skills while fighting in the DWCS against Jose Johnson. Lawrence landed twelve takedowns in this three-round contest. Moreover, he controlled his opponent on the ground for 10 minutes, 5 seconds.
Consequently, he will step into the octagon this weekend as the favorite to win this fight. This is mainly because of his exceptional grappling skills. Moreover, his striking skills in the last fight were more than adequate and his striking accuracy is also very high. Therefore he could end up dominating the fight either way. But Trevin Jones won’t let him have his say while striking. Because he is a better striker than The Heat.
Hence Ronnie Lawrence would try to take 5 star down and make this contest scrappy. Nonetheless, Lawrence would try to control Jones on the ground and tire him out. In the end, Ronnie Lawrence will get his hand raised by the referee at UFC Vegas 33.
