King Mo Doubts Bjorn Rebney’s Role In MMAAA

In an interview with MMA Fighting, Muhammed Lawal spoke about why he recently took shots at former Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney on social media. The MMA Athletes Association (MMAAA) shared a photo of Rebney with Georges St-Pierre, Tim Kennedy, Donald Cerrone, TJ Dillashaw and Cain Velasquez. Lawal eventually shared the same photo with the caption: “U got 5 great fighters standin by 1 big dick rider on the far left. These boys are about to get finessed fuckin wit him. People learn the hard way tho.”

On Rebney’s involvement with the MMAAA: “I just want them to be successful in what they’re trying to accomplish. But they have a serial finesser in the midst. And the finesser’s name is Bjorn Rebney. Hopefully he’s legit about it and helps those UFC fighters and their [association] out. But I just don’t know. I really don’t care. If he’s an advisor, they should have him behind the scenes, not taking pictures with the f*cking fighters. Barack Obama had a bunch of advisors, but I don’t know who the f*ck they are, because they’re not taking pictures with Barack Obama when he’s on the podium. The same thing with the presidents before. I can’t name you Bill Clinton’s advisors or George Bush’s advisors, because those mother f*ckers are in the background when the presidents were given speeches.”

On not having a problem wit the MMAAA: “Good luck to both organizations. It don’t affect me, don’t involve me. I ain’t in it. i wish them the best. I hope they get what they want to accomplish. It don’t affect me, it don’t affect Bellator. It don’t affect MMA — it affects UFC fighters.”

On four of the five fighters represented by CAA, rival of UFC owners WME-IMG: “I’m like, if they’re just there for the UFC, they’re talking about money. Because they see the UFC sale. There was no talk about it a year ago.”
