"King" Mo Lawal Talks Being a "Moneyweight", Fighting Fedor

or does King Mo’s knock out remind you of Wandy’s knockout of saku

There’s a HUGE leap from who you’ve been fighting to fighting Fedor. But in a year or two I could see it happening.

I was impressed with Kind Mo’s performance—even if it was against a seemingly out of shape Whitehead. But the line I am already tired of being fed is that King Mo is the most-credentialed wrestler to enter MMA. This is not only false but silly. Even if we set aside the old guard wrestlers like Severn, Henderson, Couture,Coleman, Kerr, and Lindland—who were Olympic quality wrestlers—I don’t see how anyone could think King Mo has a more storied collegiate and/or international experience that Rosholt (3 x D1 National Champion), Koscheck (4x D1 All-American who finished 4th, 2nd, 1st, and 3rd, respectively), Cormier (2x JuCo champ, D1 runner-up, 5 x National Team Member, and 2004 Olympian), Lesnar (1x JuCo Champion and 1x D1 Champion), and Askren (4x D1 All-American, 2x D1 runner-up, 2x D1 champion, 2008 Olympian). Given the number of elite wrestlers who have competed in MMA is simply untrue to claim—ad nauseum—that King Mo is the best wrestler to give MMA a try. Indeed, unless we use “few” very expansively, I don’t even think he is one of the few best. Of course, he may still be a hell of a fighter, but I am already tired of hearing about his supposedly unparalleled wrestling credentials.

Man this guy grates on me. He really thinks his wrestling is the in the top 5 of MMA and that no one can take him down? There is such a difference in being confident and arrogant Mo.

I’ll say this though, his attitude and cockiness will surely make him a money maker in this sport.

I mean whitehead was lackluster in his fight with randleman but he has always been a tubby i doubt he was out of shape training with wandy. King Mo has me convinced can’t argue with someone who just beat a fighter on a big winning streak. Have him fight bobalu or maybe MILLER Battle of the egomaniacs .
