Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal of American Top Team talks making the move from MMA to MLW.
A former Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion and Rizin Heavyweight Grand Prix Champion, the 6′ tall 217 pound fighter is a member of the prestigious America’s Top Team under the guidance of Dan Lambert.
No stranger to the sport of pro wrestling, King Mo is a lifelong fan making his pro wrestling debut in 2012.
With 21 wins in MMA (13 by KO), the former NCAA Division 1 wrestler and Bellator fighter now looks to write a new chapter of his combat sports career as he enters an MLW ring and it goes down tonight in Orlando.
“King Mo is a world class athlete,” said MLW Court Bauer. “we look forward to seeing King Mo bringing his talents to MLW. From the iconic walkouts to being an outspoken and important voice, there is only one King Mo and we’re honored to have him throwdown in MLW starting tonight.”
King Mo walked out to the ring last night for his final MMA fight wearing an MLW T-shirt with the MLW logo on his shorts as he competed in his MMA retirement bout.
