King Mo vs. Phil Davis, Michael Chandler vs. Josh Thomson At Bellator in May
On Friday, Bellator announced a light heavyweight shootout between Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal and former UFC star Phil Davis will headline Bellator 153. Former lightweight champion Michael Chandler will also face Josh Thomson in the May 14 show.
SAP Center in San Jose, California hosts the festivities.
Lawal is white hot having won seven straight scraps. The former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion is fresh off running through three heavyweights to sweep December’s Rizin Heavyweight Grand Prix.
Davis is perfect in his two Bellator bouts since leaving the UFC. “Mr. Wonderful” submitted Emanuel Newton in his Bellator debut and followed that up by knocking out Francis Carmont in September.
