“King Mo” Lawal came back for one more scrap at Bellator 233 on Friday. But, the decorated wrestler and fighter was unable to return to the win column to close out his career.
The 38-year-old Lawal originally retired this past summer, following his stoppage loss to Jiri Prochazka at RIZIN 15 in April. But, more recently, it was announced Lawal would return to the cage for one more bout against Andrew Kapel at Bellator 233. As you can see by watching the highlights, Lawal was floored by a straight right not long into the bout and the stoppage followed soon after.
With the loss, Lawal finishes his career with a record of 21-10. Kapel improved his record to 15-6 with the win.
