TEAM MVP Wins Two Fights... Starts a Third!

While many felt that Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal was an exciting up-and-coming fighter, some felt the undefeated Light Heavyweight would have his comeuppance in meeting Gegard Mousasi. Mousasi, the Light Heavyweight champion with a record of 28-2-1, was coming off 13 straight wins. Considered by many one of the best pound for pound MMA fighters in the world, it was assumed that Mousasi was simply at a different level than Mo. 

Well, the King proved plenty of people wrong on Saturday night. Using his speed and athleticism - coupled with heart and determination - King Mo took the former champion to the ground again and again. Mo fought what some have called his perfect fight - taking his opponent to the ground and controlling him. And he did that for five rounds, emerging with a unanimous decision - and a new Light Heavyweight Championship!

With a reputation as a "talker", the significance of what Mo had just accomplished revealed a different side of this humble fighter....

Unwilling to let his training partner monopolize all the spotlight, Jayson "Mayhem" Miller took to the cage at the conclusion of the Jake Shields/Dan Henderson fight to ask Shields for a rematch - which was code for "At my signal, unleash hell."

Cuz that's what happened - a brawl for us all - captured on nationwide television.

Jayson made his official apology to the world yesterday. But we kinda like his response on Twitter, posted just moments after the brawl ended....
