Quinton Jackson is usually the one dishing out insults in hopes of getting a laugh. At the recent Bellator 175 kickoff press conference, though, Muhammad Lawal essentially made it a roast of his upcoming opponent.
The insults were so biting and so good, even “Rampage” had to laugh – even as “King Mo” kept a somewhat serious tone.
Check out the highlights above as Lawal, who first fought Jackson at light heavyweight, took aim at his opponent – and primarily his weight – prior to their upcoming tilt, which is a heavyweight affair.
As recently announced, Lawal (20-6 MMA, 9-4 BMMA) and Jackson (37-11 MMA, 4-0 BMMA) are slated to rematch at Bellator 175, which takes place March 31 and airs on Spike, though a host venue hasn’t been determined.
Lawal and Jackson first met three years ago at Bellator 120, squaring off in a light-heavyweight bout under the Viacom-owned promotion’s previous regime led by Bjorn Rebney. Despite repeatedly getting taken down by Lawal, Jackson emerged with a unanimous-decision victory. Afterward, Lawal infamously went off on Rebney and Jackson during his post-fight interview and at the post-event press conference.
