LAS VEGAS – “King Mo” ruled his court with iron fists tonight.

While displaying his usual world-class wrestling, Muhammed Lawal also showed his dangerous ground and pound, and he battered fellow light heavyweight Lorenz Larkin en route to a second-round TKO victory.

The main-card fight was part of “Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine” and aired on Showtime.

When Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal hangs up his crown and calls it a career, he’ll undoubtedly start a second one as an MMA analyst or color commentator.

Few competitors in the sport have his fight IQ (just ask him), and few fans immerse themselves in the sport like he does.

So when Lawal breaks down his matchup at Saturday’s “Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine” event, his prediction carries more weight than most fighters’. And that doesn’t bode well for opponent Lorenz Larkin.

Scott Lighty, Gian Villante, Nick Rossborough, Muhammad “King Mo” Lawal.

One of these is not like the others, and that’s no slight to the others.

It’s no secret Lawal, a former Strikeforce light-heavyweight titleholder, will be a huge step up in competition for undefeated prospect Lorenz Larkin.
