VINCE CACHERO VS RONNIE LAWRENCE LOWDOWN
Vince Cachero (7-3) returns and hopes to make amends for his debut loss back in August. He had a tough first fight in fairness against Jamall Emmers but he took him to a unanimous decision. He has now lost three of his last four after Casey Kenney handed him his first loss knocking him out in their bantamweight title fight for the Legacy Fighting Alliance (LFA) followed by a split decision loss to Liudvik Sholinian. He broke up the losses with a TKO over Marvin Garcia before the call-up and now welcomes a newcomer and is desperate to get a new run going.
Ronnie Lawrence (6-1) makes his debut and is coming in riding a three-fight win streak. He lost a unanimous decision to Steve Garcia for Bellator back in 2018 but he bounced back with a TKO over Michael Ricketts and a unanimous decision over Garrett Armfield before earning the coveted contract by earning another unanimous decision over Jose Johnson on the Contender Series in September.
VINCE CACHERO VS RONNIE LAWRENCE PREDICTION
Ronnie Lawrence is coming of age and is in red hot form after causing the upset on the Contender Series. He showed maturity in displaying his grappling but if the brawler comes out in him we will see an exciting showdown as Cachero will not back down.
A stand-up contest will a great three-round battle and Cachero has decent takedown defence, but it may not be enough to escape his grasp and prevent Lawrence stealing the rounds. If Cachero can stifle the takedown attempts he can easily win a decision with his output on the feet but we expect Lawrence’s wrestling along with his more powerful strikes and spinning kicks to impress the judges more and earn the decision.
