Quinton “Rampage” Jackson is hoping to step into the cage at the end of the month and knock “King Mo” Muhammad Lawal out cold in order to lay the rivalry to rest once and for all. In order to knock Lawal out, however, Jackson has to keep the fight standing and fight off Lawal’s takedown attempts.
Lawal and “Rampage” recently verbally sparred over the phone for the pre-fight media call leading up to their main event bout at “Bellator 175” on March 31, 2017 and teased that he would take the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion down to the mat and “hump” his leg for fifteen minutes straight. Lawal told the media and “Rampage” [via. MMA Junkie]:
“My skills have improved. I’ve added more to my skill set, and he’s going to see. I’m not going to change much at all. He’s worried about wrestling? Well, Quinton, work that sprawl good. Work that sprawl well. Guess what? I’m going to hump your leg for 15 minutes. How bout that?”
“I’m going to hump your legs for 15 minutes. So work on your sprawls and work on them real hard.”
