No Holds Barred: Obama and King Mo Win
On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman begins by commenting on the election of Barack Obama as the first African-American president of the United States. Discussed are both the significance of this for the combat sports of boxing, wrestling, and mixed martial arts, and, of course more importantly, the people.
On Election Day in the U.S., November 4, we conducted an interview with three-time U.S. national freestyle wrestling champion and mixed martial arts fighter, King Mo Lawal. Mo just had his second TKO victory in as many fights in his new MMA career, stopping Chute Boxe fighter Fabio Silva in the third round at the Sengoku 6 card in Japan on Saturday, November 1.
Our lengthy discussion with Mo Lawal focused on his latest victory in the ring, his training in technique, his plans, his views on the worsening problems facing USA Wrestling, and much more.
His latest victory can be seen here.
