“King Mo” Muhammed Lawal will be in action at MLW’s Opera Cup television tapings.
MLW announced today that Lawal has “signed an open contract” for a match at the tapings. His opponent has yet to be revealed.
Lawal made his MLW debut at the promotion’s Blood & Thunder tapings earlier this month. The night before that, Lawal had his mixed martial arts retirement fight against Andrew Kapel at Bellator 233. The American Top Team member was knocked out by Kapel in the first round.
