It is being said that this is most likely due to his comments about the athletic commission today.

The girl asked him if he spoke English ... King Mo called her a 'racist *****'.

I gotta say I think there was bit of idiocy from both of them.

@kallousklown Never said it was a good idea.

But I like how he doesn't ********, and with reason. I'd do the exact same thing in that situation.

I'd like to believe this is an Overeem situation where SF lets him go and the UFC brings him in but with his suspension and the fact he called a woman from the NSAC a ***** I'm thinking he's gone for a while.

If he's not coming over, please bring Mousasi and Feijao over and just kill off SF.

To you who that think her statements have some racial component to them: you are clueless. She was cross examining him and working to establish the point that he was intentionally deceptive in his application. You have to be able to read and understand the form to lie in it.

To me it is not a race issue at all.  It boils down to the lady treating Mo like a child that is the bigger issue.  He is educated and graduated from Oklahoma St. If she needs to ask him if he can understand english after talking to him for 10 minutes to me seems a bit childish.

Obviously for future reference people should know:

Guy's it's a common question asked in most situations like that. It is asked so he can't say some ******** along the along the lines of not understanding what he read in contracts/perscriptions/etc. It's lawyer questions you ask so he cannot appeal with ******** stuff. She seemed to talk no worse than Judge Judy or Mile Lane. Mo overreacted and he got fired. It is his fault. Even if he felt wronged HE SHOULD HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT instead of doing stupid **** on twitter.

Here is the transcript: http://www.fightersonlymag.com/content/news/15904-opinion-king-mos-allegations-of-racism-are-severely-misguided

PL: the lady
ML: Mo
Kogan: his manager

PL: What period of time in December did you actually take this supplement?

Kogan: Between the 11th and the 19th in that week

PL: Did you take it again after the MRI?

ML: No I didn’t take it again.

PL: What were you taking after you had seen the doctor?

ML: Orthovisc, which is some injections the doctor gave me, some anti-inflammatories…

PL: You filled out a pre-fight medical questionnaire before your fight in January did you not?

ML: Yes I did

PL: There are a couple of questions on that pre-fught questionnaire that ask you what kind of prescribed medications you were taking, do you recall that?

ML: Yes I do.

PL: You ticked ‘nothing’

ML: Well... I ticked nothing because I was there by myself, my manager wasn’t there. My manager had the whole list of everything [I was using] and he came late. So I didn’t know everything that was actually injected into my knee by my doctor.

PL: But you knew you were taking something though, right?

ML: Er.. Yes, correct.

PL: Alright. You also said you were taking some stuff over the counter at that point in time, correct?

ML: Uh, I don’t know… I only know what I put on the questionnaire…

Kogan, interjecting: - we didn’t put anything on the questionnaire - I was the one who filled out the questionnaire, I apologise. Orthovisc that he was taking was a lubricant that was administered into his knee, er…

PL: There’s no apologising for falsifying required information on the medical questionnaire. Mr Lawal, my question to you is that you signed this medical questionnaire after it was filled out did you not?

ML: I did, I did

PL: Can you understand English?

ML: Yes.

PL: Can you read English?

ML: Uh-huh.

PL: Then you knew that by signing it that the information on this medical questionnaire is supposed to be true and correct, right?

ML: Er, yes.

Well according to that report I would say she's a ***** but probably not a racist...

@Blackwork exactly what I was going to say.  Lawal is the one who made this about race.  As an NSAC official while you have someone before you at a hearing as you decide on their suspension, you have to verify they knew they were lying when they did it.  You have to ask, even if you know, if they can read so that you have shown that it was lying, rather than him not knowing he was answering the questions incorrectly.

Lawal brought race into this and deserved get canned for it.  They'll ask the same questions to Nick Diaz about his questionnaire when his hearing comes up, and it still won't be race related.   It's to verify if the person at the hearing facing suspension understood the questions they were answering.  Lawal deserved to get canned for this.  For him to make this about race when it's a basic line of questioning at any hearing involving a legal document filled out incorrectly by the athlete in question is pathetic.  You're the one who made this about race, Mo.

WOW. THAT'S IT?

Ok, I've completely changed my stance, Mo's a total idiot who completely overreacted and should be fired.

I thought she went up to him and because of his name and his skin color, she asked him if he could speak English.

Mo Lawal has been thrown out of my top 25.

I don't know if Mo deserved to get fired for it, but UFC is very sensitive now to any accusations of being misogynistic. Dana started it with his rant against Loretta Hunt but he obviously learned from it and all the bad press it generated.  Clearly now they're wary of anything that could open them up to more accusations therefore this move against Lawal doesn't surprise me.
