Tonight’s Bellator 197 will feature a key matchup in the Bellator featherweight division as Justin Lawrence will look to hand AJ McKee his first defeat when they meet in the co-main event of the fight card coming from The Family Arena in St. Charles, Missouri.
Lawrence (11-4) has won back to back fights and is coming off a decision win in January at Bellator 193 against Andrew Natividad. Since entering Bellator in 2015, “The American Kidd” has gone 4-2 and three of those wins have come by TKO/KO.
During this week’s podcast, Lawrence was a guest on the show to preview his matchup against McKee and mentioned how he’s looking into becoming a firefighter.
