27/07/09 - Rampage-King Mo beef continues; "Focus on Rashad Evans, don't worry about me"
Muhammed ‘King Mo’ Lawal has told Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson to concentrate on his fight with Rashad Evans instead of arguing with him.
Lawal and Jackson were caught on video arguing on their way to a PR event being staged by the Cage Fighter brand, with Lawal suggesting he would like to fight Jackson and Jackson retorting by ridiculing his chances.
“Dont worry about me.....You need to focus on Rashad Evans. I aint gon waste no time with your ignorance. Keep on puttin on your routine and your corny over used punchlines....Our time for battle will come,” Lawal wrote on The Underground forum over the weekend.
“You have your hands full with the former champ....I aint tryna be known for arguin with you. I feel bad for you cuz you playin yourself....You'll see what Im talkin bout when your career end. Its a shame.”
The post was made in response to comments Jackson had made in a blog post at FightHype.com after the initial video-taped dispute.
"This punk ass dude 'King Mo' is all butthurt because I don't know who the hell he is," Jackson wrote.
"Straight up, if you're not one of my friends or fighting one of my friends or a potential later opponent, I might not get a chance to watch your fight. So I didn't know who the hell 'King Mo' was and now he crying like a little girl."
Lawal is 4-0 in professional MM with three TKO wins and one unanimous decision to his name. All his fights have taken place in Sengoku.
With wins over Travis Wiuff and Fabio Silva on his sheet, neither his record nor the calibre of opponents he has faced compare’s favourably with Jackson’s at this stage.
A former UFC light-heavyweight champion and PRIDE FC standout, Jackson is 30-7 with wins over Wanderlei Silva, Dan Henderson and Chuck Liddell to his name.
He faces fellow former champion Rashad Evans at UFC 107 in December and the winner of that fight is likely to get a shot against current belt-holder Lyoto Machida.
