FightMetric Releases Stats For King Mo Lawal vs. Mousasi, Quality Over Quantity

So as I mentioned in another post on yesterday. While it's true that Mousasi landed more strikes, the majority of those strikes were thrown and landed while he was on his back. Which generates little to no power. A perfect example was that Lawal's eye was pretty much closed in the second round, but no real significant damage was done after that. I think he may have had a busted lip or something pretty minor. The thing I wanted to point out was that Lawal DID stand and trade with Mousasi on several instances and did pretty well against him. Mousasi was never really able to get anything off other than in the second round if I recall correctly. Which happens to be the only round Mousasi won. So not to beat a dead horse, but it's not like Lawal took Mousasi down and just laid there or help him there the way Couture did Vera. Lawal landed more power strikes, controlled Mousasi and wore him down(even though he was gassed as well). The grappling and full scoring from fightmetric after the jump.

It was a competitive fight and a nice win for Lawal. On the one hand, I’m encouraged because he showed me a lot on Saturday and I’m still high on Mousasi’s potential. On the other hand, the organization has few credible guys for Muhammed to face, unfortunately. My bet is that Zuffa will make a play for the guy whenvever he nears completition of his current contract. I’m just not sure how many viable challenges are out there for him given their current roster. Who knows, maybe they’ll surprise us.
Man
Strikeforce gonna be in trouble…especially if they lose the CBS slot(probably will)….so all those fighters gonna be gunning for the UFC more than likely…well…all those that didn’t burn bridges and openly talk shit about Zuffa(Mayhem Miller)…
I just don’t see what everybody sees in Mousasi..the guy’s got some talent…but he’s just too small to fight as a LHW. Now, if he stayed at MW? Yea…I could see him doing some things…

i had king mo at +180 moneyline and he easily won that fight. 9 out of 12 takedowns.
zhit king mo had mousasi in the fetal position in the fourth round for a minute. great fight for king mo. i also put money on henderson and all this taught me was henderson is old. he blew his wad in first round trying to get the knockout. i’ll give some props to shields. he recovered and he did mount hendo a few times but his strikes do not seem that hard but he sure can hold a mma fighter down on the canvas. i’m no longer betting on guys 37 yo or older (or around that) that is why i will take pat barry over cro cop and franklin i believe will easily beat liddell. i said war king mo and he was very impressive for only his seventh fight. his future is brighter than mousasi’s and i’m so glad i won’t have to see mousasi shrines on the mma blogs. he was the one who got gassed and king mo got his second wind. good job king mo.

it really happened in an indiana cornfield too.
the movie casino is based kinda on frank rosenthal (who is deceased) and he was the man who set the line at the stardust casino. everybody else followed his lead. deniro’s character’s name is ace rothstein but it was a composite of frank r. my favorite line in the movie is the last line but i have to get it exactly correct. it’s a great movie and they used to show it alot on usa channel once a month but i have not seen it for 6 months. the original movie had more curse words in it then any movie ever made. i have not seen the original in over a decade. so i don’t remember the f bombs. just usa channnels version. one other note the mayor of vegas is oscar goodman. he is in the movie as the defense attorney(he really was an attorney for mobsters) for tony “the ant” spilotro. he was the guy and his brother that were put down in the cornfield.

I thought the opposite
I was very unimpressed with both fighters, Lawal is alot greener than I thought
by doonerthesooner on Apr 19, 2010 1:57 PM EDT up reply actions
A perfect example was that Lawal’s eye was pretty much closed in the second round, but no real significant damage was done after that.
No doubt that Mo’s left eye was pretty much closed, but it wasn’t a result of the shots that Mousasi landed off his back, they were from when was going for that single and Mousasi made him pay for it. The point still stands though; all of the shots that Mousasi landed had very little, if any power behind them. This is why I’m glad that judges don’t see compustrike results (which were rather different from these by the way): just looking at these numbers they’d think that Mousasi pounded Mo for five rounds.

I'll say it
I’m not a fan of compustrike…and over the course of the last year..have found fightmetric to be waaaay more accurate…not saying they don’t have flaws either…but the way they get their stats reduces margin for error a great deal…I feel u Neil..the premise I was attempting to convey was that after the second round….Mouasasi didn’t damage Lawal any further.

Mo Lawal in Strikeforce
I think King Mo will stay with Strikeforce because it currently offers him the opportunity to continue to compete in Dream. So if Strikeforce doesn’t have anything significant on the table, there’s always Japan.
I think it will be better for his career as opposed to hopping over to the UFC right now.
Shields should make an immediate exit and fight for the UFC.

i'm with you. they showed the fight jardine had with rampage the night of strikeforce fights.
all evans has to do is follow the footprint and add in his personal style and rashad will come away with the victory. rashad will circle rampage probably for entire first round knowing rampage wants a quick knockout. then in second expect a takedown from evans and some serious ground and pound and evans will be victorious!

Agreed. I think at this stage of the game, Rampage is aware that he can not afford to step into the cage against Evans unprepared or remotely out of shape.
We will definitely see what’s up when they have their Prime-Time special.

little altercation = two guys arguing in the same car.
I think Lawal can survive a little bit and tire Rampage out. Rampage has KO power but he struggled putting Griffin and Jardine away. Styles definitely makes fights when it comes to fighters like Rampage.

swinging out someone as quick as evans and missing takes twice as much out of you
then if you were connnecting. rashad will go for the takedown and i believe will win. this is definitely a polarizing fight. it’s about 50/50 on these mma blogs. that is why it’s going to be fun reading all the stuff until may 29th. let the better man win. peace.

If we were talking Rampage I don't know 2 years ago sure I'd say it was his fight to loose
but he’s never been known to train really, and Rashad I think want’s the fight more than Rampage

I really think ring rust and motivation is gonna be an issue. I’m not saying Rashad is gonna go in there and kick his ass I just think Rashad is the smarter pick right now.

im banking on the incentive and also the fact its the Wolfslair and not Ibarra thats gonna be training him/getting him in shape!

i agree on the want and motivation part.
i think rashad would do things quite differently if he faces machida again. i would imagine an immediate takedown before they got all sweaty. it would be his only chance just like rampage’s only chance would be a quick ko.

On paper it's a even match-up
Rampage gets the nod due to better competition(but not by much) But I’m really curious to see if Rashad can put him on his back. Rampage will be able to stand up I don’t think Rashad can hold him there, but if he can do him like he did Thiago his chances improve dramatically. I’m not really a fan of either fighter(anyone who tried to kill Chuck Liddell) I guess I would say I like Rampage the fighter but I like Rashad the personality more

I bet you Rampage won’t stand there and let Rashad recover once he hurts him the way Silva did….

i could see rampage knocking out evans in first 4 minutes but if it goes longer than that it’s evans fight to win it imo.

Rampage has takedown defence though? my memory (and it is vague, so im waiting for someone to jump on me now…lol) is that Hendo had trouble getting him down and he’s a legit Olympian… If he the fella that shows up is reminiscent of the guy that stood in front of Silva trying to swagger he’s getting shutdown. Rampage hits harder than Machida.

Henderson took down Rampage pretty easily in the first and second round.After that,he started to gas,and Rampage started getting takedowns on him.

Rampage fought life and death with Forrest Griffin and Keith Jardine.I don’t like his chances coming off over a year layoff (where he got ridiculously out of shape),going up against a guy who’s almost a clone of himself,but with better wresting and just a hair quicker.

is a stretch. Page actually has a good turtle roll boxing defense where as Shad can be lit up like xmas… again a life and death fight with those two boys owed alot to leg kicking the shit out of Rampage

Rampage’s striking and striking defense is much much better than Rashad’s…so saying they are a clone of one another is a bit much…
