<h3 data-start="133" data-end="185">🎤 PRE-FIGHT INTERVIEW: Bud "GNP" Lawrence</h3> 📍 Las Vegas, NV – April 10, 2025 🎙️ Presented by King of the Hill Fighting Championship | TUF Tournament Opening Round 👕 Sponsored by Bloodbath MMA Clothing – Wear the War <hr data-start="353" data-end="356" /> Interviewer: Bud, we’re just days away from your TUF Tournament debut on April 12. How are you feeling heading into this matchup against “Back Up”? Bud Lawrence: I feel like a 270-pound freight train sittin’ on the tracks, and “Back Up” is just a squirrel in the way. I didn’t come here to dance, I came here to do what I do best—ground, pound, and collect what’s mine. This ain’t just a fight, it’s a public service announcement: Don’t get underneath The Bulldozer. <hr data-start="839" data-end="842" /> Interviewer: You’ve been known for your wrestling and, let’s be honest, some savage ground-and-pound. Is that the plan for Saturday? Bud Lawrence: Absolutely. Why would I throw hands when I can throw people? I’m not gonna win a boxing match with anyone—I know that. But if I get my hands on you, you’re gonna wish you stayed home and watched soap operas. I'm gonna fold him up like a lawn chair and beat the creases out of him. <hr data-start="1286" data-end="1289" /> Interviewer: What do you think of your opponent, “Back Up”? Bud Lawrence: Listen, I respect anyone who signs the dotted line—but with a name like Back Up, that’s exactly what he better be doing the second the cage door shuts. Backin’ up. Backin’ away. Backin’ out. Because when I start swinging, it’s like getting hit by a brick house with trust issues. <hr data-start="1659" data-end="1662" /> Interviewer: You’re only 18 and already making waves in a tournament packed with killers. What drives you? Bud Lawrence: I’m from Doylestown, PA. We grow tough in the cold, we train in the mud, and we don’t blink. I’ve been training for war since I could crawl. This ain’t about fame, this ain’t about fortune—this is about domination. I’m here to send a message: the future of heavyweight MMA just landed, and his name is Bud "GNP" Lawrence. <hr data-start="2121" data-end="2124" /> Interviewer: Any final words before Saturday night? Bud Lawrence: Tell the camera crew to keep it rolling. It won’t last long, but folks are gonna wanna replay this one. Saturday night, I make Back Up back out—and then I bulldoze through the rest of this tournament. <hr data-start="2405" data-end="2408" /> 🔥 Bud Lawrence vs. Back Up 📅 April 12, 2025 – TUF Tournament: Round 1 📍 Las Vegas | King of the Hill Fighting Championship
