MMAWeekly.com sources indicated that Strikeforce is targeting a date in
July for a pay-per-view broadcast, but a specific date and location have
yet to be determined.
...
As far as the fight card for that show,
additional sources have stated that a light heavyweight bout between
former champion Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal and grappling wizard Roger Gracie is likely to take place on the event's main card.

I love this fight should really tell if King Mo is making progress.

Not bad, either Mo by TKO or Gracie sub, be surprised if this went to a decision.

Strikeforce? PPV? July?

Is there any way it's NOT Hendo vs. Fedor?

If he can sub Jacare he can sub Mo. From the top or the bottom I see Mo having a shit ton of problems surviving on the ground with this cat if it goes there. Lets not forget that a year ago Mo was winded after a round with Mousasi on the ground. Mousasi was nowhere near as active or threatening as Roger would be. He has better strikes but Roger is much better at transitioning and snagging the sub. Mo's only chance is to keep this standing and hope he can get past that rangey jab to land something hard enough to rock or knock out Roger.

Totally agree

Gracie could sub anyone obviously...that said, mo by knockout

Subject: Re: King Mo vs Roger Gracie in July Sat Apr 09, 2011 1:09 pm

This is going to be a very good fight that could go either way.

Damn I wanted Mo in Dallas.

OK so now the fight is set.

"King Mo Vs. Roger Gracie set for July.
Word On the Street is that, King Mo Vs Roger Gracie Is On Tap For The Rumored Strikeforce: Fedor Vs. Henderson Card. It's a great fight that pits Mo's world class wrestling against the best heavyweight jiujitsu practitioner in the world in Roger Gracie. The clash would be at the light heavyweight limit of 205lbs with the winner probably ending up as the defacto #1 contender for Dan Henderson's light heavyweight title."

Will be nice to see how well Mo can utilize his new lethal moves he picked up in the Netherlands. I think his wrestle game could be good enough to not get in to deep on the mat so hopefully on the feet he can let go and drop that deuce.

Who you think wins? Mo?

Subject: Re: King Mo vs Roger Gracie in July Thu Apr 14, 2011 2:57 pm

KING Mo

Subject: Re: King Mo vs Roger Gracie in July Thu Apr 14, 2011 3:05 pm

I think the question i would ask is does Mo keep it standing and if he does can he show some KO power? I say yes to both.

Subject: Re: King Mo vs Roger Gracie in July Thu Apr 14, 2011 3:13 pm

He knocked Whitehead the f out with one right

He's been training with Floyd Mayweather Sr a lot lately so I'm sure he's learnt a few things.

Subject: Re: King Mo vs Roger Gracie in July Thu Apr 14, 2011 3:16 pm

Yeah he has shown he can put people to sleep with his hands. By people I mean HW's though, he has yet to KO a LHW, like that matters a lot.

Subject: Re: King Mo vs Roger Gracie in July Thu Apr 14, 2011 3:24 pm

most of the punches Mo throws are power punches, and when they land its dirty... can Roger keep him at distance with his jab? yea, for a little while but Mo will close the distance eventually and if he cracks him with something big i think rogers going to sleep

"I'm not sure if I'll be able to compete this year yet," revealed the Gracie Barra athlete, from London.
"I suffered a leg injury and have been out of training for five
weeks. I just started training again now. I'm already training hard and
doing my best to be 100% by the Worlds. If I'm feeling well, I'll fight
for sure," added the three-time absolute world champion.
