Things didn’t go at all as planned for Muhammed Lawal at Bellator 199.
Lawal’s run in the promotion’s heavyweight grand prix came to an abrupt end in Saturday’s headliner at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., as he was knocked out by Ryan Bader in just 15 seconds. “King Mo” has always been about competing at “moneyweight,” but it now appears that he will be making a legitimate move to a division where he won’t consistently be at a size disadvantage.
