Beatdown: Lawal, Curran

TJ De Santis and Jeff Sherwood returned to The Sherdog Radio Network Wednesday for another edition of "Beatdown." Joining them were Bellator fighters "King" Muhammed Lawal and featherweight champion Pat Curran.

Curran makes his comeback next Thursday in Irvine, California after suffering a fracture to his orbital bone in training last August. Standing across from him will be tournament winner Patricio Ferierie. Curran talks about training, the fight at hand, and what this fight means to him and his career.

Muhammed Lawal has also been absent from active competition. The former Strikeforce light-heavyweight champion has had an interesting year. From testing positive for a banned substance, getting released from Strikeforce, and battling a serious bout with staph the former Oklahoma State Cowboy looks to make his Bellator debut on Janurary 24th. Lawal joined "Beatdown" to talk about his opponent and what he expects from the upcoming light-heavyweight tournament.
