King Mo on Rampage: "He Doesn't Want Young Black Fighters to Rise Ranks"

The feud between Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson is getting personal.

King Mo recently appeared in an episode of Beatdown on the Sherdog Radio Network and spoke with TJ De Santis and Jon Luther about the root of his ongoing problems with Rampage.

"

Rampage is the type of dude that doesn't like to see other people that are like him, or similar to him, come up. I don't think he likes to see other young black fighters come up. That's what it is. That's how I feel.

"

The feud began in July 2009 at an autograph signing at the UFC Fan Expo for UFC 100. Rampage and King Mo rode in the same van traveling to the event, and they got into a heated back and forth quarrel about past comments and overall accomplishments in the sport.

Since the encounter, the two light heavyweight superstars have continued to throw verbal jabs at one another through the media via interviews and Twitter.

There was hope that the UFC would finally ink King Mo to a deal and put together a bout with Rampage, but the former light heavyweight champion will remain in Strikeforce after signing a new four-fight deal with the promotion at the beginning of the year.

To make matters worse, it was announced on Tuesday that King Mo tested positive for the anabolic steroid Drostanolone at the January 7 "Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine" event.

If his appeal is unsuccessful, King Mo faces a fine and one-year suspension, which would pretty much kill any hope of a future bout against Rampage.
