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

“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. Plus, the decision was somewhat controversial and many thought Lawal’s wrestling overshadowed Jackson’s striking. Additionally, Lawal provides Jackson with motivation, something Jackson said he often lacks.

“A lot of times, I’m not even motivated most times I fight,” Jackson said. “I don’t even care. I’m going to keep it real: I enjoy fighting, I love the fighting, but the training is the part that I have to get motivated for. I’m a natural fighter. I can fight any day, anybody, anywhere in the world. I don’t care. I enjoy the fighting part. But the training is what I have to get motivated for, and ‘King Mo’ has motivated me more in this camp than I’ve been motivated in several years.”

In the co-main event, former Bellator bantamweight champion Marcos Galvao looks to make his mark in a new weight division when he moves up to featherweight to face Emmanuel Sanchez.

Bellator 17 takes place at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill., near Chicago. The main card airs on Spike following prelims on MMAjunkie.
