He's planning on fighting at 185. The fight came to him very quickly, so he took it. Heavyweight is not his intended weight.

What's with the crown and robe? Does he have a nickname I'm unaware of?

They introduced him as "King Mo." That is even how the wrote his name on the broadcast.

So, does Mo's entrance, etc., bother anyone? Or is the negative reaction to that kind of stuff reserved for Elite XC & Brock?

Mo is 1 of those freakish athletes that can do any sport, I loved watching him wrestle at O-State.

what was the neg reaction to Elite and Brock?

MetsFan · 09-29-2008, 12:29 PM

That they are too "WWE-like" and that the focus should be on the fights, not creating characters. This was more the case with the Elite entrances than with Brock - but there were negative comments about Brock's reaction after beating Herring where people viewed that in a negative "WWE" light. This was a lot more WWE-like than anything Brock has done while in MMA. So, I'm curious how people feel about Mo's weigh-in, entrance, and press-conference.

Oh ok, I remember now. It doesnt bother me as much mainly because its Japan, I rememebr Pride was famous for some of the outlandish entrances, but thats how they do it over there. here in the states, I think that people dont want and/or like that mixture, but unfortunately thats where it seems to be heading with some of the things that have gone on.

Who were the haters in America that wanted him to lose?

And what's with the dude offering him a banana on the way out?
