PIC: Kimbo Slice plays peacekeeper in brawl between Bellator’s King Mo and Triumph United president

Legit or publicity stunt?

We’re left suspicious at the fact that no footage exists of the scrap between Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal and Triumph United president Hans Molenkamp.

But there is a picture of the fight that broke out after Lawal (14-4, 1NC) allegedly referred to the executive as “Rampage’s bitch.”

As Molenkamp threw a punch at “King Mo” who is scheduled to go up against former UFC heavyweight Cheick Kongo next, it seems that Kimbo Slice tries to tear the two apart.

While it would seem that the image was staged to raise publicity for Slice’s recently announced fight against UFC legend Ken Shamrock, an official from Triumph insists that it was genuine.

BJPenn.com report that Michael McLeish, a representative of the apparel brand, broke the news via Facebook, saying:

‘Just thought I’d share some news. You can put me as leaking it. Popular gear and apparel company Triumph United president and founder Hans Molenkamp gets in brawl with King Mo at hotel after Mo calls Hans “rampages bitch”.’

A Tweet late last night from the fighter would further lead us to believe the photo was not a fabrication.

We just don’t know what to believe but it’s hard to believe that Kimbo Slice has ever tried to stop a fight.
