It has tonight been revealed that the return of former Strikeforce heavyweight champion, Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal has been put back to the month of September after top rated submission expert, Roger Gracie suffered an injury during training this past week. The news was first revealed by Inside MMA and since confirmed by a number of website after speaking to sources close to the situation. It is thought that if Gracie recovers in time he’ll be in line to oppose Lawal.
Lawal (7-1) was last seen attempting to defend his Strikeforce light heavyweight title against Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante at in August of last year. The night didn’t end well for “King Mo,” as Cavalcante beat him on the feet and defended well against the takedown en route to taking the 205-pound title from Lawal.
Gracie has looked impressive despite only a handful of fights under his belt thus far in his mixed martial arts career including submissions of Trevor Prangley and Kevin Randleman. He is currently 4-0 overall in his MMA career with four submission wins.
