The promotion recently announced the pairing, which will take place
at lightweight heavyweight. Lawal initially
retired from MMA in June 2019 but briefly returned a few months
later, falling to Andrew
Kapel via first-round KO at Bellator 233. It will be the first
bare knuckle boxing match for Lawal.

The 43-year-old Lawal is a former Division II national champion
wrestler at the University of Central Oklahoma and an NCAA
All-American at Oklahoma State University. “King Mo” compiled a
21-10 record with one no contest in MMA and has recently served as
a coach at American Top Team.

Lawal was a Strikeforce
middleweight champion before compiling a 10-6 mark during a stint
with Bellator
MMA. He also won
Rizin Fighting Federation’s heavyweight grand prix in 2015.
Lawal lost all of his last four MMA bouts by knockout or technical
knockout.

Mundell, who went 10-5 in MMA from 2012 to 2019, has won six
straight contests under the BKFC banner.
