Phil Davis and King Mo Lawal are slated to do battle in the cage in a few hours at Bellator 154. Recently, Davis talked with our friends at FloCombat and talked about how he feels that Mo has lost a step when it comes to wrestling.

There’s no pride between wrestlers here and I’ll tell you why,” Davis said. “In Mo’s last fight in Bellator he got sky'd--not taken down, not tripped, no slip--but sky'd by his opponent. I’m talking about rooftop, over the shoulder and aired out by a guy from Britain. Listen, I don’t know if you know anything about wrestling in the U.K. but the conversation ends right there. All accolades are off the table. That was a rough moment. I’m sure he wishes he could re-do that one.

But since both guys will be bringing their high level wrestling backgrounds to the Bellator stage, we thought we would throw it back to their days on the mat.
