Ever have one of those weeks and/or weekends when, by the time you get to Monday, you can barely remember everything that happened? That’s more or less every week in the world of combat sports, where the realm of the bizarrely newsworthy is pretty much where we live. Which is why MMA Junkie columnist Ben Fowlkes brings you “The Break” to make sense of what just happened, presented in the time it takes to grab a refill of coffee before the boss notices you’re missing. This week, we’re discussing Darren Till ’s questionable vacation behavior, as well as discussing the most memorable performances from this weekend’s UFC event in Russia and Rizin FF card in Japan. Oh, and there’s a bit of cautionary advice for former Bellator champ Michael Chandler . Watch the video above.

Bellator’s ‘King Mo’ Lawal back to ‘money weight’ mentality ahead of Rizin FF 15 title bout

BAD MMA News — Wed, 06 Mar 2019 16:54:05 +0000

Muhammed Lawal won’t be committing to a move to middleweight after all as he goes for the inaugural Rizin FF light heavyweight title next month. “King Mo” (21-8), who’s spent his career fighting at 205 pounds and heavyweight, has long discussed dropping to the weight class where he would likely be best physically suited. It seemed back-to-back knockout losses to Ryan Bader and Liam McGeary, respectively, convinced him that facing bigger men was not the best avenue for success, but his rematch with Jiri Prochazka (23-3-1) at Rizin FF 15 proves otherwise. “(I can make) 185, straight up – I’m 204 right now,” Lawal recently told MMA Junkie Radio. “185 is just like right there

Scott Coker explains ‘King Mo’ Lawal’s move to Rizin FF for Jiri Prochazka title rematch

BAD MMA News — Thu, 31 Jan 2019 23:44:44 +0000

Muhammed Lawal will be the latest Bellator fighter to test his luck in a Rizin FF championship fight when he heads to Japan to meet Jiri Prochazka for the inaugural light heavyweight title. After Bellator bantamweight champ Darrion Caldwell failed to beat Kyoji Horiguchi for the Rizin FF belt in December, Lawal (21-8) will be lent over to the Japanese organization to face Prochazka (23-3-1) at the April 21 event, which takes place at Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, Japan, and streams on Fite TV. This isn’t the first time “King Mo” has been allowed to fight for Rizin FF while under Bellator contract. He hasn’t done so since December 2016, though, and Bellator President Scott Coker said the latest opportunity came up because of his growing relationship with Rizin FF. “I am committed to keeping martial arts in Japan strong and by sending top Bellator athletes like ‘King Mo’ to compete for RIZIN in April, we are doing just that,” Coker said in a statement issued to MMAjunkie.
