Bjorn Rebney said he loved the fight between Matt Bessette and Diego Nunes. He also went on to say that the fight between "King Mo" Lawal and Mikhail Zayats did not match well stylisticly. Then Lawal said the fight was not that best but told Bjorn to make sure the canvas isn't slippery next time because it affected how he fought.
Rebney also thanked Christian M'Pumbu for stepping up and fighting Rampage in the first round of the Light Heavyweight tournament. He said that he hoped Rampage could get back to the top of the game and his previous fight and this dramatic finish showed that.
Rampage took the microphone after M'Pumbu thanked everyone and said that M'Pumbu is a great fighter but his one mistake was saying that he would retire him. Rampage said he did not take well to that, and his only objective was to hurt M'Pumbu. He then said that if says that again if they fight he might try to kill him.
Then Rampage and Lawal got into it in a hilarious back and forth. Rampage said that Lawal looked like one of the Simpsons with his busted lip. Lawal called Rampage out for not being able to fight him next because he cannot get into Canada. Rampage laughed and said that was true and wondered how Lawal knew (You get the point). The banter was one for the record books and then they stood up and almost fought right on the stage.
Bjorn ended the conference and thanked everyone and the Mohegan Sun.
