"People that know MMA, know that I won the fight. It's just I got people who don't like me because I keep it real, I keep it one hundred, I'm a straight shooter and they don't like that. They want me to be something I'm not, and those people were happy to see me lose. Or people that were on Rampage's, you know jock, they thought that he won, but clearly if you watched the fight, anytime a man asks for a rematch, 10 out of 10 times tells you that guy lost the fight. And he asked me for a rematch before the results are in. He was like 'hey man, I want a rematch' before the results were in. So that says a lot about what he was thinking going into decision, so it is what it is... I'm open fighting Quinton again. You know, he asked me for a rematch, I'll grant him a rematch. It's up to him, you know what I'm saying, if he wants to fight anymore, because just by looking at him I don't think his heart's in fighting. I think that after fighting me, I think that he knows he ain't beat me, and I don't think he wants to fight anymore."

-Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal talks to Submission Radio about the potential for a rematch with Quinton "Rampage" Jackson.

Penick's Analysis: The fight itself wasn't very good in May, but it was clear that Lawal should have gotten the nod. I don't know if we'll see Jackson fight again or not, because Lawal's correct that Rampage has seemed out of it mentally. I doubt it's because of Lawal specifically, but Jackson certainly hasn't seemed all that interested in continuing on. Even in his Bellator fights thus far, actually fighting has seemed like an afterthought to him. He's more interested in the exposure and getting paid than his fighting career at this point, so if he never fought again it wouldn't surprise me in the least.
