5 reasons to watch Bellator 175 with its ‘Rampage’ vs. ‘King Mo’ heated rematch

1 2 3 4 5 … 6 Filed under: Bellator , Featured , News “I want a rematch.” It’s rare for the winner of a fight to utter that phrase, but that’s exactly what Quinton Jackson said moments after having his hand raised in victory over Muhammed Lawal at Bellator 120. Nearly three years removed from his unanimous decision win over Lawal, Jackson gets his wish for a rematch Friday in the Bellator 175 main event. There are a few reasons Jackson would want a second fight with Lawal. He was disappointed he won the first fight by decision instead of by knockout.

Additionally, Lawal provides Jackson with motivation, something Jackson said he often lacks.

Then you drift through the town of Lincoln, which, if it is known at all, is known only for being the base of operations for Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber. Then it’s Simms, with its abandoned cars. Then the lazy Sun River, where roadside signs advertise little aside from a faith in God and country and a deep mistrust of government. When you get to where the Missouri River cuts sharply to the north before resuming its journey east and south to St
