Bjorn Rebney Claims That He Squashed The Beef With King Mo After Bellator 120

Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney has come under some criticism from BMMA 120 headliner Muhammed ‘King Mo’ Lawall; after losing a close (yet unanimous?) decision against Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, the former Strikeforce champion went off on Rebney, claiming he was ‘Riding Jackson’s dick’. Not only this, Mo claims that the Bellator cage mats are unfit for use, and that the BMMA CEO is killing the sport.

Obviously, after such a tirade, Rebney was keen to get his half of the story across, as he spoke with Bloodyelbow.com:

‘I think some people got in Mo’s head and got Mo very amped up in a very emotional setting where he lost a fight and got him very, very excited and got him to say things that he didn’t mean. I had an opportunity to go down and talk to him and I just had a heart-to-heart with him, I’ve known Mo for years, and I said ‘look, we’ve got…you and I have worked through a lot of stuff, you’ve had some devastating losses here, you’ve had some great wins here, we set this thing up…and I don’t know what you’re talking about.’

Unfortunately for Rebney and co., Lawall’s rants weren’t just saved for the pre/post fight hype stages, Mo actually claimed that the Bellator CEO was riding Page’s dick, live during broadcast. The awkward silence and shifty sound work that followed the faux pas only adds to the common opinion that BMMA needs to get their shit together.

‘And Mo came to me downstairs and said, ‘Well, I heard you said this..you said that.’ And I said, ‘from me on tape? or from other people who said something?’ And he said, ‘from other people who told me. So I said, ‘you and I used to text each other three, four times a week. Come to me. Ask me about it. And if I said it I would tell you I said it and try to defend it and if it cost us our relationship it would. But it didn’t. And that’s a lie and you’ve been fed bad information. And he said, ‘Alright, if you’re telling me that, I believe it.’ and that’s how we squashed it. Mo’s a wicked…I’m crazy about Mo. I love his personality, I love what he’s brought to the organization, I love that he was the first real big name guy that we signed away from somebody else…’

So it seems that, in a strange turn of events, Mo and Rebney are BFFs again. The collective MMA world can breath a sigh of relief, but that’s not all she wrote; the BMMA CEO also revealed that a rematch between Jackson and Lawall is still on the cards, but does anyone really care about that?

‘MMA’s biggest rivalry’, as it was dubbed, did not deliver in the slightest. I honestly hope that Mo and Rampage do meet again, but not if it means I have to put up with another amateurish, poorly staged, wwe-type brawl every five minutes during an over-priced, watered down PPV like 120 was. That’s my rant about the Bellator 120 PPV done, anyone else?
