Muhammed “King Mo” Lawalsays 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.
