After this fight Sokodju, then Babalu, then winner of Mousassi vs Hendo This guy will be golden PLEASE FOCUS ON 205 MO YOU WILL BE THE CHAMP IF YOU DO....IN EITHER UFC OR STRIKEFORCE! GO TO RUSSIA TRAIN WITH FEDOR...WILL DO BOTH OF YOU WONDERS!

It's possible he still might fight Nate the Great and Silva. Personally, I'd much rather see him in the UFC. I like King Mo, I really do, I think he has a great future ahead of him. He has shown some extreme athleticism and he's very good at dictating fights. I just wish he had more fans than himself. Don’t be too hasty, Hendo hasn’t signed yet.

Even if he does go back to LHW after this fight, I have a hard time giving him a shot at Mousasi unless he completely obliterates Whitehead. Hendo might be a good fight since they both have big power and excellent wrestling, but I don't think Strikeforce wants to put one of their fastest rising stars in King Mo up against someone as dangerous as Hendo just yet though. I think they're probably going to give each of them a few "feeder" fights to get some hype behind them before they let them butt heads or contend for a title.

It'll be interesting to see how he fares against Whtehead, who has more experience and a better resume. They're about the same height and about the same weight, so on paper they appear evenly matched. It's interesting that the fight is at heavyweight, though, because both are on the small side of that weight class. I predict wild haymakers and wrestling and a decision.
