Bellator 154 LIVE Weigh Ins

“Bellator 154: Davis vs. King Mo,” will emanate from the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., on May 14 and airs LIVE on SPIKE. The evening’s main event will feature a light heavyweight bout to determine the No. 1 contender for Liam McGeary’s (11-0) title, when Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal (19-4, 1 NC) meets Phil “Mr. Wonderful” Davis (15-3, 1 NC) in a contest that was originally supposed to decide the victor of the 205-pound tournament at “Bellator MMA: Dynamite 1.”

To reach this point, both Lawal and Davis had to dispatch of multiple opponents over the course of one night to win two separate tournaments. Lawal most recently was victorious in a two-night, eight-man heavyweight tournament for Rizin FF in Japan, beating Brett McDermott, Teodoras Aukstuolis, and Jiri Prochazka, running his current winning streak to seven-fights.

For Davis, his Bellator MMA debut came in September, when he ran through both Emanuel Newton and Francis Carmont en route to winning the one-night, four-man light heavyweight tourney at “Bellator MMA: Dynamite 1.” The 31-year-old Alliance MMA product was slated to face “King Mo” in the final of the bracket, but Lawal suffered a broken rib in his tournament semi-final victory over Linton Vassell that forced his fight with Davis to be delayed.

“Bellator 154: Davis vs. King Mo” takes place on May 14, and airs live on SPIKE at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT — Don’t miss it.
