"Some [fans] are cool, some are idiots. They're fans-they don't know what the f**k they are talking about. That's why I'll say it again: 'f**k the fans.' A lot of them ain't educated. They're just bandwagon jumpers."

-Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal talks to Jonathan Snowden and Dave Walsh on the Ring Psychology podcast about his disdain for MMA fans.

Penick's Analysis: It'll be no surprise, I suppose, when he gets a similar "f**k you" response from fans. His fight with Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante this Saturday has inspired little fanfare as it is, but this attitude back towards the fanbase of the sport is his to have, I guess. There are a lot of uneducated fans in the casual fanbase, but fighters should be more interested in wanting to get that fanbase educated than to call them idiots and say things like this. But if he wants to make himself the heel, he's not going to have much of a problem doing that.
