       Bellator MMA is going all out for their first outing on PPV. The
       organization added another fight as they announced Muhammed
       “King Mo” Lawal will get his rematch against Emmanuel Newton for
       the Bellator MMA interim light heavyweight title at Bellator
       106.
       The California based promotion created an interim title fight
       due to Bellator MMA light heavyweight champion Attila Vegh
       suffering a shoulder injury.
       Lawal and Newton first met at Bellator 90 when Newton knocked
       out Lawal with a spinning backfist to advance in the light
       heavyweight, with Newton winning that season’s tournament.
       Lawal came back and won the Summer Series tournament to get the
       rematch with Newton.
       The former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion feels the
       fight is already over.
       “Listen, I’m going to be real honest about this. Emanuel is fake
       as hell,” Lawal said. “He runs his mouth about being a black
       skinhead or something, and likes to act real hard. He’s as hard
       as baby shit. I’m going to destroy this guy. He landed a shot on
       me in our first fight, nothing more than that. I’m better than
       him in every facet of the game. I didn’t even shoot on him that
       first fight. I can take this fight anywhere I want it, and I
       will. It’s over. I’m taking that belt in Long Beach, bringing it
       back to Las Vegas, and no one is getting it back. Not Vegh, Not
       Rampage. Not Tito, not anyone. It’s mine. Payback is bitch,
       Emanuel.”
       Newton feels he knocked out Lawal once and will do it again on a
       bigger platform.
       “I’m not going to spout off and trash Mo, I don’t have to do
       that,” Newton proclaimed. “I know Mo is going to run his mouth
       and try to sell his game, but I don’t have anything to prove.
       I’m the one that knocked him out, and he’s the one that has to
       deal with that loss on his record, not me. I did it once, and
       I’m going to do it again, this time on an even bigger stage.
       History likes to repeat itself, and November 2nd Mo’s going to
       have to deal with another big loss on his record.”
       Bellator 106 takes place on Saturday, November 2nd from the Long
       Beach Arena in Long Beach, California. The main event will
       feature Rampage Jackson facing Tito Ortiz and the co-feature
       will be Michael Chandler defending his Bellatot lightweight
       title against former champion Eddie Alvarez in a long awaited
       rematch.
