Muhammed Lawal was in a fight himself, a high-profile one at that. Yet, like many of the people in attendance at the AllState Arena, he couldn’t help but to rubberneck when a brawl broke out in the stands while he was in the cage.
It was the second round when “King Mo” said he started paying attention to the fight in the stands while he was in a fight himself against Quinton Jackson in the main event of Bellator 175 on Friday night in Rosemont, Ill.
“When we were against the cage, a fight broke out and I saw the crowd stand up, looking to the left,” Lawal told Ariel Helwani on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour.
