It may seem like a bout between Phil Davis and Muhammed "King Mo" Lawalhas been in the making since last September, when Davis won a one-night tournament in his Bellator MMA debut. But in some ways, it's a matchup that has been brewing for over a decade.
The history between the two dates back to when Davis, 31, was in high school and spent time training at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Davis, a veteran of 13 UFC fights, spent time wrestling with Lawal, as well as UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier.
Bellator 154 (Spike TV/ESPN Deportes, 8 p.m. ET) in San Jose, California. The light heavyweight main event headlines a card from SAP Center, where the two nearly met on Sept. 19 in the final of Bellator's four-man Light Heavyweight Grand Prix.
