Justin Lawrence discusses how his uncle fought at UFC 10/ Don Frye's head swelling three times in size, fighting Wonderboy Thompson on the kickboxing scene, and his robust mullet

I caught up with UFC/ Strikeforce/ RFA vet Justin Lawrence (on Bowks Talking Bouts #70) who takes on AJ Mckee Jr at Bellator 197.
 
We discussed his thoughts on AJ as an opponent and AJ's status within the 145lb division, starting training at the age of six and how his uncle fought at UFC 10 (3:46), Justin's dad seeing Don Frye's head swell three times it's initial size after his first fight with Mark Coleman (5:13), his kickboxing experience and his desire to get a kickboxing bout for Bellator's KB brand (6:22), fighting Wonderboy Thompson on the kickboxing scene (8:13), Justin's amateur run in MMA and how he wishes he spent more time at that level (9:42), the work Justin has put in at Alliance MMA with guys like Dominick Cruz and Jeremy Stephens (12:00), how his dad/ trainer gave him the encouragement to move on to train at Alliance (14:27), his powerful mullet and a possible Head & Shoulders sponsorship (16:46), what music he likes training to (17:24), and more!
