Former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion, Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal has emerged from the shadows this week to slam a section of fans he refers to as “groupies”, saying they are just idiots who are quick to judge fighters when in fact they know nothing about the sport.Speaking via BloodyElbow.com, Lawal said:
“Mousasi was like my sixth or seventh fight. In the fight I tried trading with him but he was covering up from my strikes so I took his ass down. Now they say he is overrated. Simply put, if he was in the UFC and I was in the UFC and that fight happened we wouldn’t get that flack and we would’ve been all good. Some people are just groupies and they are idiots who are quick to say that someone is overrated just because they don’t know shit about MMA.”
“Chuck Liddell shouldn’t have lost to Jeremy Horn and the next thing you know Chuck is one of the best 205 lb. fighters to ever compete in the MMA game. So what does that say about him? If that fight would have happened now people would have said Chuck was overrated. Or that he sucks and he’s no good. You can’t base somebody’s career off a few losses. A career is judged by the overall outlook and total performance.”
Lawal is set to return to action by the middle of the year after suffering an injury to his knee which resulted in him requiring surgery. Will he come back as good as he ever was as he looks to regain his crown at 205 pounds?
