Muhammed King Mo Lawal Joins AKA

April 06, 2011 Matthew Wheeler (Contributor) No comments

Muhammed Lawal, otherwise known as King MO made the most drastic move of his heavily trained career finding peace at a new training camp known as the American Kickboxing Academy. AKA is a San Jose invite only gym that holds many of the world’s top fighters like Cain Velasquez, Jon Fitch, Justin Wilcox, Josh Koscheck, Mike Kyle, Cung le, and many more. The camp has the strongest wrestling base of fighters in MMA and with Lawal’s world training expeditions he will provide another set of tips and tricks while filling in what flaws he may need to work out of his own game.

Lawal has one of the best wrestling credentials in MMA with his USA wrestling background to prove what we have already seen on fighters like Mike Whitehead and Gegard Mousasi. He has suffered only one loss in a close fight in which he chose to stand with a dangerous striker Rafael Cavalcante out of the Blackhouse gym, training under Anderson Silva. At AKA the fans can expect him to be pushed by the best to excel his way back towards the Strikeforce light heavyweight belt he once owned. AKA is the best fit for Lawal worldwide and it takes a true martial artist to realize when he is missing out on opportunity.

It will be very interesting to seeing the vast improvements in cardio, striking and MMA from Lawal in his next fight against whoever dares to get into the ring with him. If Mousasi were to get past his small test in Jardine, a rematch could sell to fans that believed Mousasi won the first fight. What Zuffa / Strikeforce decide can only turn out well for Lawal fans who can truly appreciate a grinder with impressive fight domination and is still new to the MMA scene.
