Photos: M-1 King Mo vs Mark Kerr
We’re about to leave Kansas City to the EA Sports headquarters after shooting at M-1 Breakthrough.

I enjoyed watching Karl “Psycho” Amoussou […]

King Mo Post Fight Press Interview
It’s 2 am here in Tokyo and we just got back from dinner after the fights. But before moving onto editing, we wanted to post a snippet from King Mo’s post-fight interview.

Goodbye Tokyo!
Farewell Japan and thanks for all the MMA! I had a great week in Tokyo, attending both K-1 Premium Dynamite!! and Sengoku, while covering Mo Lawal backstage and press events. “King Mo” and his camp allowed me to follow them around backstage during Sengoku and it was an awesome experience. Operations essentially run the same, […]
