Filed under: Bellator , News , Videos Muhammed Lawal is suddenly a very busy man, but that’s the way he likes it. Not long after beating Satoshi Ishii at Bellator 169 this past weekend (check out the highlights of that win above) , “King Mo” signed on to replace the injured Wanderlei Silva opposite Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic for the Rizin FF open-weight world grand prix. No official reason was given for Silva’s withdrawal, but Lawal (20-5) said it was related to a bike accident in May that left the veteran with an injured shoulder and knee. He shared a conversation with Silva (35-12-1) about his replacement and said the former PRIDE champ encourage him to call out Filipovic (32-11-2). “He’s still injured,” Lawal told MMAjunkie Radio.
