Bleacher Report’s Mike Hodges:
After an appearance on HDNet’s Inside MMA, former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion, Muhammed Lawal has called out Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.
Lawal, along with fellow Strikeforce fighter Antonio Silva and kickboxer Mark Miller, shared their thoughts on the purchase of Strikeforce, as well as potential superfights between the UFC and Strikeforce competitors.
When asked on his ideal matchup, Lawal said he would prefer a bout with the former UFC light heavyweight champion.
“I’d like to see me versus Rampage (Jackson),” he said.
“If he can handle Matt Hamill, and then I win my fight, then we can try and make that happen and I’ll shut his mouth up, for real.”
Lawal is coming off a recent loss to Rafael Cavalcante, which saw him relinquish his light heavyweight title at Strikeforce: Houston last year.
