Chances are you’ve witnessed this scene before. A victorious fighter, flush with adrenaline, steps up to the mic for a post-fight interview. His face is lit up like a full moon and, at least in that triumphant moment, anything seems possible. He’s just cold-clocked a qualified competitor on national TV. He feels like a giant among ants.
He’s Julius Caesar. He’s Alexander the Great. Conqueror of kingdoms and destroyer of worlds. So is it any surprise what he says when asked who he’d like to face next?
‘I’ll fight anybody they put in front of me.’
Really? Anybody? Because – and don’t take this the wrong way, guy with only two or three UFC fights under his belt – ‘anybody’ covers a lot of territory. A lot of very, very dangerous territory.
And yet, to hear the fighters tell it, they’ve never turned down a fight. Not ever. Merely suggesting otherwise is enough to make you their enemy for life. But the thinking fan has to wonder, aren’t there times when it’s smart to turn down a fight? Isn’t it sometimes better to know your own limitations, particularly early in your career?

OK, so here’s a textbook example of why fighters need managers (preferably managers who are not also their girlfriends, because that’s a no-win situation for everyone): Word out of Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal’s camp in the wake of his loss to Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante at Strikeforce: Houston on Saturday is that Mo blew out both the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments in his left knee during the bout. Because he’s an MMA fighter, Lawal wanted to squeeze in one more fight before opting to have surgery, but fortunately cooler (read: sane) heads prevailed. Manager Ryan Parsons now says the former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion could be out for up to nine months.
“Mo wanted to take one more fight, but we decided that this injury should be attended to first,” Parsons told Sherdog.com yesterday. Um, yeah. No shit.

HOUSTON — Usually when a guy takes three pro fights in less than a month, it means he’s either crazy or in serious debt. Former U.S. Olympic wrestling team captain Daniel Cormier insists he’s neither. He just doesn’t have any time to waste.
“There’s no substitute for experience,” Cormier (4-0) told MMA Fighting. “I don’t have the time that some of these other guys have. I’m 31. I need to progress a little bit quicker than them.”
This is why Cormier, who fought for and won the King of the Cage heavyweight title just last week, signed on to face Jason Riley (9-3) on the undercard of Strikeforce: Houston this weekend. He needs the experience, he said, and if his management thinks it’s a good idea, he’s not about to disagree.
Take the situation with his Strikeforce contract, for instance.
