Fresh from a late night training session in Orange County, Calif., with Wanderlei Silva and Fabricio Werdum, Muhammed Lawal (6-0 MMA, 1-0 SF) heard the news about Gegard Mousasi's (28-2-1 MMA, 2-0 SF) desire to fight him next, but "King Mo" didn't want to get too excited.

"I feel great," Lawal told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) when contacted about the potential matchup. "I'll feel better when it's confirmed, you know what I'm saying? Once it's confirmed, game over."

Lawal said he expected to face the Strikeforce light heavyweight champion after defeating Mike Whitehead at "Strikeforce: Evolution" but added that he had not been formally offered the fight and nothing was confirmed.

On Monday, Mousasi surfaced on multiple news outlets and said he expected to face Lawal on the second installment of "Strikeforce on CBS" in mid-April, though he, too, said the fight was in its early stages.

The pair was supposed to meet two previous times, though the bout never came to fruition.

This past August, a fight was scratched at "M-1 Global: Breakthrough" when Lawal, nursing a newly repaired ACL, elected instead to fight Mark Kerr. Mousasi went on to face sometime training partner and No. 1-ranked heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko in a grappling exhibition, and he wound up injuring his elbow in the process.

A second meeting was scratched at "Dynamtite!! 2009" when Mousasi turned down a fight with "King Mo" on the New Year's Eve card for unknown reasons, according to Lawal.

"I don't know if he turned it down, or I guess his management – maybe he didn't have enough time to train for me on short notice, but I was willing to step in and fight him at DREAM," Lawal said.

As always, the former Division I All-American and Division II champion addressed his critics and said they were a primary motivator in his fight path.

"My critics are my opponents as well," Lawal said. "Because everybody has something to say. Who's that dude, Mike Straka? I don't know who he is, but I guess he's trying to tell people that I'm overrated and this and that. This is coming from somebody who knows [expletive] about MMA, who's just a fan with his own TV show. If he thinks I'm overrated, he can come and train with me. Come train with me – I'll show you overrated.

"I've only been in this sport for a year and a half. Now who else in a year-and-a-half has been beating people with winning records like I have?"

And truth be told, Lawal said would feel out of place if it were any other way.

"If everyone was giving me compliments, like 'you the man, you the man,' then what's the point?" Lawal asked. "I like being an underdog. I like people doubting me."

But when it came to making proclamations about how a potential fight with Mousasi would go down, "King Mo" was surprisingly restrained.

In a recent interview with Sherdog.com, Mousasi said he was en route to an extended training camp with UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre. On a potential fight with Lawal, the Armenian-born fighter said he had the advantage in all areas of the game but one: wrestling.

"He can say this and that, but we'll find out come fight time," Lawal said. "Yeah, he has good stand-up. He might have a better clinch, but I'm not worried about what he says at all. I hope he trains hard with 'GSP,' man. That's cool. It's whatever. He can do whatever he wants and say whatever he wants, cause when it comes down to it – when the fight happens – I'm going to be happy, because I get what I want.

"Anybody can make a [prediction] right now, but I'm just going to keep my knowledge to myself until the fight comes – because then everybody will see what I'm talking about, why I wanted this fight."

In the meantime, Lawal said he will continue to train for a general opponent and hope for the best.

mousasi 1st rd KO

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

king mo is going to kill him I hope scott coker realizes he's ruining mousasi's marketability and gets him an easier fight

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

KING

[WyattEarp]

Curious to see how Mo does in this fight.

[PA-PA-PA-PIMPOMATIC]

They are pushing Mo too fast. He has amazing wrestling, potential, and is progressing nicely, but fat Whitehead to Mousasi is going to be ridiculous. Give him Soko, another fight, then maybe Mousasi.

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

pretty much

[shadyasfok]

i wanna see mousasi murder this clown

[shadyasfok]

king mo is going to kill him I hope scott coker realizes he's ruining mousasi's marketability and gets him an easier fight

when you're the champ, your job is to defend the belt against whoever comes your way

king mo is in mousasi's fucking way

[shadyasfok]

good for scott coker, he's not falling into the same traps that doomed elitexc from the getgo

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

they dont have anyone else for mousasi to fight

[shadyasfok]

good

[PA-PA-PA-PIMPOMATIC]

I can't think of anyone at 205 for him to fight. If he was at 185, he could fight Shields, Hendo, Mayhem(?), Jacare...

[Capt Lameius]

king mo via murder.

[shadyasfok]

the first step to building mousasi's legacy is have him reign over the division with dominance, cleaning out all challengers

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

well it kind of renders your statement null solid, if this fight happens it's little more than a glorified squash match

[shadyasfok]

king mo via murder.

you picked whitehead over him, you fucking idiot

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

elitexc had plenty of those, only they weren't for belts

[shadyasfok]

mousasi can fight hendo at 205

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

but he's rumored to fight king mo

[shadyasfok]

elitexc had plenty of those, only they weren't for belts

i meant they weren't coddling anyone, which is what doomed elitexc

[shadyasfok]

but he's rumored to fight king mo

yes i know. cozy was saying there's no one at 205 to fight. hendo can fight at both weight classes

[PA-PA-PA-PIMPOMATIC]

That would be a good fight.

[PA-PA-PA-PIMPOMATIC]

At either weight

[shadyasfok]

yes

I think whitehead is a bad match up for mousasi

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

who the fuck are you trying to kid solid

[Capt Lameius]

solid is on crack if the thinks mousasi isnt going to get pounded to death in this fight.

[shadyasfok]

king mo is a can, and grapple picked whitehead over him

:lmao:

[Capt Lameius]

3 year av bet for king mo vs mousasi solid?

[shadyasfok]

[Twincest]

elitexc isn't the only promotion that coddles (coddled) fighters when it suits their marketing interests. your boy Bisping is a perfect example.

bisping ain't my boy, but he's gonna beat the everloving shit out of canderlei

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

How is Bisping going to beat Wanderlei solid

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

How is Bisping going to do anything other than go down from a vicious onslaught of strikes and knees

[shadyasfok]

bisping's gonna do the same thing he did to leben

[Capt Lameius]

deal

with stipulations and handicapping.

[shadyasfok]

what the fuck

[shadyasfok]

grapple didn't even honor his previous bets and he's asking for special clauses

what a fag

[Twincest]

bisping's gonna do the same thing he did to leben

:lmao: yes, because no fighter more resembles wanderlei silva than chris leben.

[Capt Lameius]

just the standards sub sets and clauses solid. no big deal.

they're on the same level, except leben has a better chin

[shadyasfok]

sub sets and clauses by definition are not standard

[Capt Lameius]

leben would beat mousasi.

[shadyasfok]

leben would beat mousasi.

:no:

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

solid is going to look pretty fucking stupid when Wanderlei KO's Bisping but he should be used to that by now

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

hyping up some complete can he was laughing about getting KO'd nearly to death by Hendo and now he's cheering for him

[shadyasfok]

solid is going to look pretty fucking stupid when Wanderlei KO's Bisping but he should be used to that by now

just like he did to franklin, right?

:roflnut:

[Capt Lameius]

solid should link this thread to sherdog.

[shadyasfok]

hyping up some complete can he was laughing about getting KO'd nearly to death by Hendo and now he's cheering for him

that loss only made him come back stronger

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

Bisping is a can

[shadyasfok]

nah, that fight would go to decision and it's a tossup

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

:Bisping:

[Bacon of Hope]

I hate both of them so I'm hoping for a double KO.

[super hot]

Wanderlei was in Orange County? Why didn't he call me?

I don't like that they are setting this fight up so soon, not the smartest thing ever.

[Bones of Satan]

bad move fro strikeforce.... this matchup would be equivalent to mayweather pacman in 2 years and they are ruining it by rushing to this fight

king mo will win a decision

[Buckner1986]

There's no one else at 205 for Mousasi to fight. You can't just let the guy sit on the sidelines because his division sucks. If he beats Mo then he'll get Hendo next.

they should have him fight hendo or robbie lawler

king mo and moussasi are pretty much the future of the sport. putting them against each other while they are still unknown to the ufc fans ruins one of them

dude if a up and coming prospect loses its not like its the end of his career, if he actually looks good and puts on an exciting fight he probably will gain more fans in the loss that if he won in some boring decision.

I actually applaud SF for not giving king mo the kimbo slice elitexc treatment, that was insulting to the fans.

SF cares about he fans.

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

it's nothing more than a glorified squash match imo

[HOODS]

and this fight, stylistically is fucking awesome and im am amped about it, like i said in another thread SF puts on fights the ufc never would. Its true, its true.

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

hoods dont make me get involved here, I'm trying to let you have your fun but I might have to shove a strikeforce shirt up your ass
http://mmacity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/bob_sapp.png

[HOODS]

king mo eventually has to fight someone that poses a threat, how long does teh fucker have to wait? If he loses he will learn, and make him better.

People are just complaining because they arent used to seeing two really good up and comers fight. It happens, you just arent used to seeing it in "certain organizations" i wont mention names.

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

king mo hasn't fought anyone near the level of mousasi, his biggest win is over travis wiuff and this is just a dumb fight they'd be better off just giving Hendo the shot and letting King Mo fight someone else and setting him up for his shot later on

[HOODS]

hoods dont make me get involved here, I'm trying to let you have your fun but I might have to shove a strikeforce shirt up your ass

wr, you still have yet to give a reason why you are complaining about this fight? Will you watch it? yes. Will you enjoy it? yes. I dont see your beef with SF on this i really dont.

[HOODS]

king mo hasn't fought anyone near the level of mousasi, his biggest win is over travis wiuff and this is just a dumb fight they'd be better off just giving Hendo the shot and letting King Mo fight someone else

SF really doesnt have that luxury, ufc pretty much has the lockdown on all name LHW's. Can you name a LHW from SF or dream that would be a threat or be a good fight for king mo? I can't, maybe u can, bc i dont know of any.

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

because it's too early for this fight, but I understand strikeforce really doesn't have any options unless they feel like giving bobby southworth a call

[HOODS]

this is why the ufc signed all of the paul buentello's and frank trigg's the elvis sinosic's so that SF couldnt get jobbers for their up and coming fighters, a very smart move by ufc, but then on the other side of the coin you have ufc fans complaining that its too soon for SF to put king mo against mousasi, well, the man you wanna talk to about it is dana white.

And i agree it is too soon for king mo to be fighting mousasi, just letting it be known i agree, but i also think it could be good for him and he may even find himself with more fans if he can put on a good show.

[Twincest]

i dunno. i think they had alternatives. there's Feijao, Mike Kyle, Antwain Britt or whatever his name is... shit Babalu Sobral coulda been a great opponent.

i seriously think the reasoning for this is more along the lines of Scott Coker caught Mo fucking his daughter or something.

been layin' low. death in the family. shit like that. good to get back to some serious business.

[stretcharmstrong]

is Babalu not still in the mix? he could fight King Mo. i would rather see Gegard smash him though, maybe he will shut the fuck up.

stupid ni66er.

oh shit, sorry to hear that man. Good to have you back, wig has been running amuck in this place and i can only pwn him so many times before i need another knowledgeable mma fan such as yourself to stick the opposite end of a plunger up his ass.

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

wig's mma arguments are about as good as his childhood asshole defense

very poor

[stretcharmstrong]

Wig and SAF's MMA posting is sub par at best.

[Albertan]

Nice thing is these 2 could very well clean house and fight each other many times over the next decade.

Mos got some exceptional movement alongside his strikes. He's one rough customer to try and hit.

However Gerard looks like Badr Hari at some moments along with the fact he's so well rounded. I've been a fan since he knuckle skull fucked Takimoto from the back mount teenage Euros are not supposed to be able to do that to Olympic Judo gold medalists.

do you seriously wanna see that shit?

[Twincest]

do you seriously wanna see that shit?

the point was not what i wanted to see, but what would make sense by way of bringing Mo up through the ranks w/o destroying his marketing potential. making him jump from Mike Whitehead to Mousasi is like asking Rory McDonald to jump from Mike Guyman to GSP.

i know you wanna see Mo get mauled, so this works out well for you, but Strikeforce isn't necessarily doing themselves any real favors down the road here.

[shadyasfok]

so you don't wanna see the best fights but you want a company to follow in the footsteps of elitexc?

some MMA fan you are

[Twincest]

so you don't wanna see the best fights but you want a company to follow in the footsteps of elitexc?

some MMA fan you are

every organization protects their name fighters. and the UFC is the worst offender. they nurture the fuck outta every single TUF winner that comes along.

and either way, what's so great about seeing a young fighter get pushed too fast? do YOU wanna see Rory McDonald fight GSP next month? do YOU wanna see Ronys Torres get cremated by BJ Penn? how's that good for MMA?

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

twin just bent solid over and fucked him raw

[Hektik]

mousasi 2 but king mo is for real and wouldn't be surprised if he won

it's not like this will be the only time mousasi and mo fight. in 2 years they will be top 10 each easy maybe top 5

mousasi 2 but king mo is for real and wouldn't be surprised if he won

King Mo might put up a decent fight but I can't see him winning. Mousasi is better at everything besides wrestling.
