We here at All Elbows are proud to present the first installment of a three part series on up-and-coming MMA fighter, Mo Lawal, better known as King Mo. In this episode, we drove all over Southern California to Mo’s many training locations to get a glimpse into the extensive and varied preparation that Mo receives.

Watch it in HD on Vimeo here: The Year of the Mo, pt.1: Training.

Catch Mo Lawal’s next fight at Sengoku 8, live on HDNet, Friday, March 20 at midnight Pacific, 3 am Eastern.  If you can’t stay up all night, it will be repeated on Friday at 7 pm PT, 10 pm ET right after Inside MMA.
