| Does anyone know the status of his contract with Sengoku, has it expired?
How many fights is he connected to M-1 for? You'd think Strikeforce would gladly want his services. | |

- Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal explores free agency, eyes August fight with Don Frye
by John Morgan on Jul 13, 2009 at 9:05 am ET Undefeated prospect Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal (4-0), currently a free agent after completing a four-fight deal with World Victory Road's Sengoku organization, looks to return to action in an August bout with MMA legend Don Frye (20-7-1).
Lawal recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio) he has verbally agreed to an August contest under the M-1 banner, and he hopes to sign a non-exclusive contract with the organization in the near future.
The 28-year-old Lawal said he is then open to fighting in any organization – provided the contract is in his best interest.
"I'll fight anybody," Lawal said. "Brock (Lesnar), I don't care. I'm a mercenary for the cash. But at the same time, I want the experience.
"I like to fight a lot. Right now I'm just in the early stages of my career. I feel like I need to stay busy and fight and beat bigger names."
Lawal, who debuted professionally in September 2008, has remained undefeated through four fights against opponents with a combined record of 91-28-4.
Lawal has missed the past three months while recovering from surgery on an injured ACL. Once he returns to action, Lawal said he's open to fighting from 185 pounds up to heavyweight.
"I can cut to 185 (pounds)," Lawal said. "It's a three-week process. I'll fight at 205 (pounds). I'll fight heavyweight. Wherever I can get the most money and the most fights is where I'll fight."
Before he finds a more permanent home, Lawal expects to face Frye on Aug. 29 at an as-yet-unannounced M-1 event in Los Angeles. Frye told MMAjunkie.com he had been working on a potential bout with Bobby Lashley, but negotiations have apparently fallen through.
A 13-plus-year veteran who debuted professionally at UFC 8, Frye last fought in a May submission win over Rich Moss in the Texas-based Shark Fight promotion.

| I think as long as things go well with M-1 and he wins, the M1-Dream-Force alliance will grab him. | |

| so has that Aug 29th fight been set yet? The article was from july 13th, and even that didn't give much time to set up and then promote a succesful card. But we're only 3 weeks away now.
Why are any of these guys signing with m-1? | |
