After undergoing a seventh procedure on Sunday to remove infectious matter from his recently repaired knee, Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal is biding his time.
Antibiotics that had to be administered 24 hours a day via a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line have been switched to another type that are administered twice a day.
Lawal hopes the new treatment will kill the staph infection that nearly cost him his leg following ACL surgery this past month. In the meantime, he's hooked up to two machines that drain excess blood and pus.

To make matters worse, because the ACL surgery was related to recurring/existing condition, the insurance provided by Zuffa/Strikeforce does not cover Lawal's medical expenses in this case. Lawal's immediate future in MMA was already under question as he failed his post-fight drug tests following the fight with Larkin and was awaiting his hearing with the athletic commission.
