Who doesn’t love a good rubber match? Each fighter has a win over the other, both are high level fighters, the belt is on the line (again) and it’s on Pay-Per-View.

“I’ve had the same opinion on [TRT], and the same stance on it since the first time I asked the question. I just never felt that the controls were tight enough to be able to allow it to occur. When guys use it it’s an unfair advantage. If you’re going to equalize the playing field, the best way to equalize the playing field is to eliminate it in totality. I’ve never wavered on that…it is an unfair advantage when misused. Anybody who’s in this sport recognizes that people misuse it… It’s unfortunate for guys who have a legitimate physical defect. But they’re on the side of doing it right for everybody, and the vast majority are going to be able fight clean now and not have to fight against somebody who isn’t [on TRT]. So I think it’s a good move.” During his Bellator 110 post-fight media scrum, Bellator boss Bjorn Rebney, touched on Nevada’s recent ban of TRT.

“I knew I was never going to fight [Lawal] in any of the other organizations I was with, because I knew he wasn’t going to come. I think I can be 100-percent honest with you when I say that half the reason I signed with Bellator was because I was signing with Viacom — not just an MMA organization, but a whole big company — and that I could finally get a chance to beat the s–t out of ‘King Mo’ for all the stuff he said. But I forgive him.” In a recent interview with sherdog.com, former UFC light-heavyeight champ, ‘Rampage’ Jackson, explained his reasoning behind leaving the UFC for Bellator.
