Exclusive: King Mo on Reppin’ the South, Talking Trash With Mousasi + More

LayzieTheSavage with King Mo Lawal – Watch more Funny Videos

While he was at Reign Training Center checking in with Jason Miller, LayzieTheSavage also bumped into Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal, who will be competing for Strikeforce’s light-heavyweight title at the Nashville show on 4/17. Mo has been calling out Gegard Mousasi since he put away Mike Whitehead in December, and now has an opportunity to prove the doubters wrong and get his belt. If that seems like a tall order, Lawal would like to point out that he’s used to being an underdog, and feels he has advantages in power, athleticism, hunger — and he’s a little bit smarter too. When asked what he’ll do to celebrate a victory next Saturday, King Mo gives an appropriately confident response: "I don’t celebrate victories…I expect to win, so what’s to celebrate?"

I got no problem with King Mo, but I really dig me some Gegard. Regardless of the outcome this event is gonna rock.

It's always the guy that says he's smarter that ends up being dumb.

I can't believe I'm actually excited for a Strikeforce event.

Guy has a future. But he isn't going to win this one. It will give him some experience and motivation for the rest of his MMA career though.

Gerard by KO, possibly Sub.

Funny that he and Rampage turn out to be from one city away from each other. They should have a showdown for best Tennessee LHW.

First of all, I like King Mo. Second of all, WHAT THE FUCK IS HE TALKING ABOUT HE DOESN'T CELEBRATE VICTORIES? Wasn't the last time I saw him on Cage Potato a video of him jumping up and down and spraying Rock Star all over the ring? Man's been celebrating his victory since birth.

Can't wait for this one!! Fight of the Night... Pretty sure Hendo's gonna murder Shields and although the unexpectedness(not a real word)factor in the Aoki-Melendez matchup is intriguing, there's a good chance it'll be a snoozer. Wish it wasn't the case, but it's true. This one, however, is gonna be gooood. Sweet Mo vs King Sassy WILL end violently. I promise
