“King Mo” Muhammed Lawal (5-0) has renewed his call for a matchup versus Fighters.com Heavyweight Champion “Last Emperor” Fedor Emelianenko (31-1) after Lawal’s impressive first-round stoppage of “Iron” Mike Whitehead (24-7) at Strikeforce in San Jose December 19.
“People talk about this guy is unbeatable,” Lawal told Sherdog. “Anybody can be beat in any sport.”
Lawal fought Whitehead at heavyweight, what Lawal called the “money weight”, and indicated he’d fight in whichever division makes sense and “makes dollars.”
The same night, Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said Emelianenko was like to fight ninth-ranked “Vai Cavalo” Fabricio Werdum (12-4-1) on CBS in April.
