Former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion King Mo Lawal is still hosting a mailbag on FightHype.com to stay in touch with fans and answer any and all questions related to himself, mixed martial arts, boxing, or just about anything. Check out what fans were asking and what King Mo had to say in this week's mailbag as he touches on his Rampage Jackson, Floyd Maywether, Manny Pacquiao, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., and a number of other subjects. The grind never ends for King Mo, so send him an email at kingmo@fighthype.com and maybe next week, you too can see your questions and Lawal's responses.
Mo, sup big homie? How are you bro? Just wanted to check in and see how training with Lyoto Machida was going and ask you what are some of the things you guys are working on (not to give away the gameplan or anything). Thanks for your time champ. Hope to hear back. Paluba
King Mo: With Lyoto, we are doin' MMA trainin'.
Toilet paper huh??? Yeah cause I wipe my ass with people like you. Don't be sensitive b/c I think Rampage would knock you the fuck out. Bader is a tougher challenge anyways
hahahaha
TP
King Mo: TP, I like women! I have no problems with gays at all, but either you wanna be in my shoes or you obsessed with me. Somethin' wrong wit you. Keep dick ridin' Quinton. Worry about yourself and not me. If you was to die, no one would give a damn and I would have one less hater to respond to. Just understand, I like women. Stick to dick ridin' Quinton!
First Smokin Joe and then Ron Lyle. I remember Lyle made your late bloomers list. He really was a late bloomer that probably could have accomplished so much more had he got started early. One of the most exciting fighters never to win a title. What is ur thoughts of him Mo. Also, big ups to FightHype for interviewing him and keeping his name alive before he passed. Dan Connar
King Mo: Ron Lyle was a beast! His fight wit Foreman was a classic. He was a bad muthafucka you didn't wanna bang with! R.I.P.
Hey Mo your SF contract is up in just a few months. Do you have a plan mapped out or are you just playing it by ear? Hope all is well man. Rez
King Mo: Rez, I ain't sure what's gonna happen. I ain't even worried. To be honest, it don't even cross my mind. Bitch ass people like TP are more concerned about it than I am.
Hey Mo, first, I really enjoyed your appearance on mmajunkie radio. Second, I think the Geto Boys were one of the most underrated groups in Hip Hop. With Willie D just getting released from the pen, how cool would it be if we got one last Geto Boys album? - Chris, Jamaica NY
King Mo: I would love one more Geto Boys album. Them boys went hard. They was very underrated, but not in the south.
Hey mo, give me both scenarios if you don't mind, how can Pacquiao beat Mayweather and how would Mayweather have to fight Pacquiao to beat him? Much appreciated my dude. Phil
King Mo: For Pacquiao to beat Floyd, he has to catch him and outwork him. For Floyd to beat Pacquiao, he just needs to box him. Pacquiao and Mayweather both gotta stay true to their own style to win.
What is your opinion on motherfuckers like Skip Bayless and Mike Wilbon callin Floyd a nd u have appeared on Shade 45 with Rude Jude
ur thoughts on how he tried to front on Floyd! Thanks Mo. Zin G
King Mo: It's easy for muthafuckas that never been hit in the mouth to talk shit. Look at my 2nd question on this grind. You think that muthafucka ever done shit in his life? You won't see me bash nobody if I ain't never experienced it.
HEY KING, DOES IT STILL LOOK LIKE JANUARY WILL BE YOUR FIGHT? ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE YOU FIGHT LIVE, SO I HOPE IT'S IN THE HOUSTON AREA. I WAS OUT OF TOWN WHEN YOU FOUGHT FEIJAO THERE. GOTTA COME BACK TO H-TOWN AND GET SOME REDEMPTION! TAKE CARE MO!
King Mo: I hope so too. I gotta run that shit back one more time and fuck him up.
Alright Mo
let me check you out, give me your best 3 wrestling finishing moves. I got Jake the Snake (DDT) Brett Hart (Sharpshooter) Ric Flair (Figure 4 leg lock). What you got champ? Peter B
King Mo: I got the Stunner by Steve Austin, Stinger Splash by Sting, the Kick to the Head by Tajiri, Russian Sickle by Nikita Koloff, Jackhammer by Goldberg, the Diamond Cutter by DDP, the Frankensteiner by Scott Steiner, and the Flying Clothesline by the Road Warriors.
Hey King, a few questions for you, in my opinion Alvarez or Chavez wont distance themselves from the other because they just aren't fighting stiff competition. Who do you like in that fight if they fought? Sadly I think they will be a lot lik Gamboa/Lopez and either never fight or fight after one has lost. Also, are you and Rashad Evans still cool? I haven't heard anything as far as beef just haven't really seen u shout him out lately. In your interview with Percy you say AKA is the truth to train at. What separates them from other gyms in your opinion bro? Why do you think Koscheck gets such a bad wrap? And lastly, I'm starting to think Pacquiao and Mayweather never fights. What you think man? Sorry for so many questions just wanted to make sure at least a couple gets answered Lol! Good luck in ur next fight champ. Al
King Mo: I don't know who wins that because they are two different weight classes. Maybe Chavez Jr. Me and Suga are still brothas. I talk to him every week (laughing). AKA has great structure, great coaching, great partners, very consistant, and is like a family of starvin' fighters that wanna be the best. Kos gets a bad wrap because idiots don't get that MMA is a sport and entertainment. It is not true Martial Arts. When have you ever seen a BJJ or Karate reality show? The Mayweather/Pacquiao fight will happen; just don't know when.
Mo if you going into some type of a street fight/brawl, what 5 people do you bring with you?
King Mo: If I got into a brawl, I'd wanna have 4 more of me.
[KING'S NOTE: Let's see if TP will take The TP Challenge. You talk a lot of shit, TP. After my fight in January, I challenge you to say the shit you been sayin' to me in my face. I will buy your flight and everything. Don't be a bitch and back down. You have two weeks to respond. Your mouth gots that John Gotti, but does your heart have it too? I know you a bitch at heart and probably won't accept it.]
