“King Mo” Lawal has fought for just about every major promotion except the UFC — and he has no regrets about that.
Lawal last competed in a TKO defeat to Ji?í Procházka at RIZIN 15 earlier this year. Representing Bellator, the defeat marked his third in a row by TKO with Lawal later announcing his retirement.
Though the 38-year-old mainly fought for Bellator throughout his career, he also competed under Strikeforce where he became the light heavyweight champion under their banner.
However, he never competed under the UFC — not that he has any regrets about it, as his main goal was making money:
“My goal was to come into MMA, make money, have a good time and just fight,” Lawal told MMA Junkie. “Some of these people that are fighting act like fans more than fighters. I’m sorry, man, I fight for money. I fought for money.
“I’m not going to be like, ‘I’ll fight these people for free just to be there.’ Hell to the no, never. But I’ve seen a lot of broke champions. Just because you’re fighting doesn’t mean you made it. You’ve got to make a name for yourself and get these W’s. There might be different paths, you know what I’m saying, but just get the W’s, have some fun, grow as a fighter and then go when you go. Don’t just chase something because everyone’s doing it or everybody wants to be there.”
Now retired, Lawal would consider a comeback solely to have one more fight under Bellator. And like he mentioned already, he needs to get paid well:
“The only thing that could bring me back is if I had a final farewell fight under the Bellator banner, because that’s my spot now,” Lawal added. “I love Japan, but Bellator is my home. If I could do it, I’d end my career with Bellator with Scott Coker. Find me the easiest fight I can get paid the most for.”

King Mo Returns to the cage at the upcoming Bellator 210 event where he is slated to fight a former champion on the main card. The Viacom-owned promotion is set to make their first trip to Hawaii and as a result, they are stacking this card.
On Monday, Bellator President Scott Coker announced on his official Twitter account that former light heavyweight champion Liam McGeary would take on former Strikeforce champ Muhammed Lawal at this show.
If you recall, these two fighters were supposed to meet at Bellator 185 in October 2017. However, the fight was scrapped once a Lawal injury forced him off the card. This is a big fight for both men as they are seeking a win.
McGeary continues to look to get back on a winning streak as he is in the middle of a rough patch after starting his career 10-0. He would win the title by decision over Emanuel Newton in 2015 but then lost to Tito Ortiz. Following that, he was able to score a second-round TKO of Brett McDermott was submitted by Linton Vassell at Bellator 179. He is coming off a third-round TKO loss by Vadim Nemkov at Bellator 194.
On the flip side, Lawal is coming off a loss to light heavyweight champion Ryan Bader in the opening round of Bellator’s current heavyweight tournament in May that saw him being TKO’d. Before that, he was able to pick up a decision win over Quinton Jackson at Bellator 175 in March 2017.
Bellator 210 is set to take place on Saturday, December 15, 2018 at the Neal S. Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu, Hawaii. The preliminary card will air online at 7:00 pm EST while the main card will air on DAZAN at 9:00 PM EST. Ilima-Lei MacFarlane vs. Valerie Letourneau for the Bellator women’s flyweight title will headline this show. Rafael Carvalho vs. Lyoto Machida will serve as the co-main event. The promotion will be announcing more bouts in the coming weeks.
