Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal Makes his Case to be Included in the Fedor Sweepstakes

PrintKing Mo talked to mmaweekly about it:
"Man, I want that fight. History has shown Fedor’s had problems with smaller athletic guys that he fights. Bigger guys, he just rolls right through ’em. The smaller guys, or the guys that can move real well, give him problems.
I want that fight because I think I can win. I can beat this dude. Granted, he’s got heavy hands. Everybody has flaws. Styles make fights. I can see my style causing him a lot of problems... I’m not a guy in survivor mode ever. I saw Cro Cop respect (Fedor) a little too much and fought to survive. If I go out there, I’m gonna try and take him out. Whatever it takes; slams, elbows, knees, whatever it takes I’m gonna try and win.
To me, anything is possible. Right now, people don’t know who I am. I’m not a UFC veteran. I fight in Japan. People in America tend to be more UFC fans. So then people don’t really know me. (But) by the end of the day, the fans love me because I’m gonna bring it."
King Mo is also making his case by sending several tweets:
is hopin that I get that chance to fight Fedor! ...is a possibiliy to fite fedor cuz ima free agent and licensed to fite in cali... go to sherdog.com and vote for me to get the fight vs fedor!
It has also been said that Affliction is dangling a potential $500,000 - $1,000,000 carrot for possible opponents and that's why lots of people are adamant about getting in the ring with him. Vitor Belfort, Bobby Lashley, Brett Rogers, Fabricio Werdum, Jeff Monson, Don Frye, King Mo, and even Tank Abbott have been linked to be wanting to join the fight Fedor sweepstakes. And why not? It's a low risk, high reward situation. You're going to be paid a huge amount of money for a chance to beat a legend in the sport, while always having that excuse of coming in on less than 7 days notice.

buttons?
Do you like idea?
1) Add the image at the bottom of the post.
2) Delete the “photo” tag from the HTML to get rid of the border.
The Affliction: Trilogy event listing address is http://www.bloodyelbow.com/event/9lJ94tpk
3) Click on the image in Visual View and then select Insert Link. Paste the address and check “open in new window”.
That should work.

it's your idea? cool.
I like it a lot, but maybe it would look a bit better if it’s a bit smaller. what do you think? :)

I can’t decide what I think about the size.

IMHO, i think it takes too much attention away from the article..

just a bit smaller, would be perfect i think.
well that’s my opinion, i don’t know about what the others think.. good job btw.
If you decide on the final look, would it be available by clicking “Link to Affliction: Trilogy”? cause that would be the shits. :)
