Quote of the Day 2: Muhammad "King Mo" Lawal Talks Rockstar Energy Drink and CSAC Fine

by Kid Nate on Dec 22, 2009 8:50 PM EST in MMA News

Someone told me, 'You got fined.' I was like what? Fined by who?.

"I told Strikeforce. I figured that everybody knew. I think it probably had to do with the huge uproar because everybody was like, 'Mo's unsportsmanlike,' and their corny a** bulls***. They don't want to see me have fun and what not. They think this is the NFL.

"I'm not sponsored by Rockstar. The thing is, I couldn't have any other beverage in the ring. If I could have, I would have had Pepsi. But Rockstar is cool, they are the sponsor for Strikeforce, I have a lot of respect for Strikeforce so I just did it. Why not? I was just out there having fun.

"I didn't splash the mat with the drink. The drink exploded when I opened it because someone shook it up.

"As far as people saying, 'Yeah, Mo got the mat slippery on purpose.' Let me telling you something, you idiots: the canvas is slippery anyway. If I get Rockstar on the mat and it dries up, I'm doing them a f***ing favor, you know what I'm saying? It irritates me when people run their mouths and sh**. They always say the dumbest sh** ever and they don't know sh** about what's going on."

He’s right about getting the mat more grippy, though

I thought he was joking when he said he was going to do a Stone Cold Tribute

Until I saw him do it.

Rockstar = bigotry

Rockstar is owned by Michael Savage, the bigot. Stay away for that reason.

Its actually owned by his son.

So if the drink exploded when it opened because someone shook it up, what did he tell everybody he was going to be doing?

“I’m gonna drink some rockstar before the fight. If someone happened to shake it up it’s going all over the place”

i think mayhem shook it up.

No

You didn’t see “King Mo” banging the two cans together? He shook ’em up.

Does MMA really need one more f-bomber? We have Dana White (and I wish even he’d tone it down) but having to deal with more of the same is tiresome.

I actually agree w/ Mo. How is this worse than what Brock did @ UFC 100? And, Brock didn’t get fined or even warned by the AC. Mo was having fun, Brock was out of control.

a) Brock didn’t spray sticky liquid all over the mat.
b) There was nobody fighting after Brock, even if he had.
c) Brock is a jerk so I don’t know why I’m defending him.
