Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal says he blew his ACL in the first round of an unsuccessful title defense against Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante this past Saturday at “Strikeforce: Houston.”
The former light-heavyweight champion will undergo surgery on Wednesday to correct the damage, which could keep him sidelined for up to nine months.
Regardless, Lawal is undeterred by his recent setback and said he’ll be
back stronger and smarter. He’ll fight at light heavyweight or
heavyweight – it doesn’t matter as long as he gets in the cage.
