Muhammed Lawal is known for his flashy entrances. But after Friday night he’s ready to see the spotlight shine elsewhere.
At Bellator 233, “King Mo” is scheduled to fight for the last time when he meets Andrew Kapel in a 195-pound catchweight, co-main event bout. It will be the 32nd fight of Lawal’s career.
Originally, it wasn’t Lawal’s plan to tack one more bout onto his resume, which includes wins over Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, Cheick Kongo, and Gegard Mousasi. He’d actually announced his retirement earlier this year, shortly after a TKO loss to Jiri Prochazka at RIZIN 15.
