10 Questions With Muhammed Lawal (by Darrick Patrick)
Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal is a professional mixed martial artist who has competed in the Sengoku organization at events such as No Ran 2009, Fifth Battle, and Sixth Battle. At the time of this interview, his next scheduled match is against Ryo Kawamura at Sengoku: Seventh Battle on March 20th, 2009.
Darrick: What was the path that led you to competing in professional mixed martial arts?
Muhammed: Being able to fight for a living was the absolute dream job to me when I was younger. At the time, it wasn't even around but I loved to throw hands - and I was hungry to be the toughest and baddest man in the world.
Darrick: Who is someone that greatly influenced you while growing up?
Muhammed: My mama was my biggest influence because she raised a family by herself with no type of financial support. She worked hard to provide for us.
Darrick: What brings you the most fulfillment out of martial arts?
Muhammed: I really get fulfillment from hard training and sparring. I also love to learn new techniques and try to apply them when possible. I love both the mental and physical aspects of martial arts.
Darrick: Your next scheduled match is against Ryo Kawamura on March 20th. What are your thoughts about this upcoming fight?
Muhammed: This fight with Ryo Kawamura is going to be a great battle. He is a tough guy, but I'm looking to make a statement. He is the King of Pancrase and I'm King Mo. There is only gonna' be one King and I'm looking to punish him for treason.
Darrick: Who are a few of the people in the sport that you highly respect?
Muhammed: I respect anyone that has taken this sport serious and has shed blood, sweat, and tears to attempt greatness within mixed martial arts. To some, MMA is a fad - but to those that are truly dedicated, it is a lifestyle.
Darrick: Do you have any words of advice for other individuals looking to compete in MMA?
Muhammed: Don't let anybody tell you that you can't be a champion. Look to prove them naysayers wrong. Like the late Pimp C said, "They frown when you up and smile when you down." Them naysayers wanna' see you fail!
Darrick: Outside of competitive fighting, what are your other interests?
Muhammed: I love to shop and chill...and GDP. Get Dat Paper!
Darrick: What moments in your life have you been proudest of so far?
Muhammed: I'm still searching for a true moment that makes me proud. I haven't done anything yet!
Darrick: Tell us something about you that most people don't know.
Muhammed: I don't know. (Laughs) If anyone wants to ask me anything, hit me up on Facebook, BlackPlanet, or MySpace.
Darrick: What is your oldest memory?
Muhammed: Getting whoopins from my mama!
