Muhammed Lawal is always looking for big fights. He might have been the first person in MMA to use the term “moneyweight.” One would think that the presence of Chael Sonnen in Bellator now would have Lawal salivating over that potential headline bout.
Not so, though.
“King Mo” told MMA Fighting that he has no plans to ever face Sonnen, someone he looked up to as an amateur wrestler and, more so, someone who offered him a hand when he was down. Lawal said he was struck by Sonnen’s generosity years ago when Lawal had potentially life-threatening staph infection.
