Muhammed ‘King Mo’ Lawal

Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal is a former US freestyle national champion who brought crown-wearing, dance-crazed entrances and serious wrestling to MMA. He won the Strikeforce light heavyweight title from Gegard Mousasi in 2010, lost it to Rafael Cavalcante, and was cut by the UFC-owned Strikeforce after criticising the Nevada commission over a failed drug test.

In Bellator he won the 2013 Summer Series tournament, then won the 2015 Rizin heavyweight Grand Prix in Japan, and dabbled in pro wrestling with TNA. CagePotato covered his Strikeforce title run, his feud with Rampage Jackson and his outspoken interviews.
