Bobby Lashley is out of next month’s Bellator 134 with an undisclosed injury and James Thompson is now targeted to face Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal in a heavyweight bout. Sources confirmed the fight change to TheMMAReport.com on Monday and the fight change has not been announced by Bellator at this time.

Really looking forward to seeing how this plays out. Props to King Mo for stepping up!

Interesting fight. I wonder how well Mo's wrestling will be against a dude that's 6'5 260. Thompson isn't a world beater but he is a big dude that's been around a long time. I have yet to see Lashley fight though, so I am a little disappointed.

If Mo's striking was more technical, I would give him a chance...but I think he's got his hands full here. I cant see him getting Thompson down, and reach will be an issue if he can't...in my opinion, of course.

It's a win win for Mo. He loses, he's supposed to, to a much larger guy. He wins, he moved up to HW and beats a bigger dude.
