Career rates

Where he stands

Ronnie Lawrence is 3-1 across 4 fights on our tape. Our rating has him at 1552 — it moves with every result and weights who he beat, so a win over a ranked opponent counts for far more than one over a debutant. A record on its own says very little in this sport — two fighters at 12-3 can have faced completely different opposition, which is exactly the gap the rating is built to close.

He wants the fight on the mat

Ronnie lands 6.8 takedowns per 15 minutes and threatens 0.3 submissions in the same span. That's the profile the model reads first, because grappling decides where a fight happens and where it happens decides most of the rest. His matchups turn on one number more than any other — the opponent's takedown defense. Against 85%-plus defense the same fighter looks ordinary; against a striker who can't stop it he looks unbeatable.

How the model reads him

Ronnie's number is a matchup output — rating against rating, then style against style, plus age and layoff — graded on the fight board like every other call. Our tape covers UFC and Contender Series bouts from 2015 on, and one punch can settle a fight the better fighter was winning. For Ronnie specifically, Ronnie has only 4 fights on our tape, so every rate here is built on very little.

The full method is on the fight board, and every published call is graded on the report card.
