A list describing the supplements and medications that light heavyweight Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal used prior to his appearance at “Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine” points to a single product as the cause of his positive steroid test.

That’s the steroid that recently landed the fighter in hot water.

In hopes of finding the cause of a positive test for an anabolic steroid, Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal’s manager, Mike Kogan, today sent to the Nevada attorney general’s office a full list of the supplements and medications the fighter took.

RIO DE JANEIRO – Seemingly lost among the build-up to Saturday’s UFC 142
event is that despite a frustrating loss to Anderson Silva earlier this
year, MMA superstar Vitor Belfort is 6-1 in his
past seven fights and still extremely relative in the UFC’s middleweight
division.

Instead, the primary focus seems to center around how Belfort will deal
with the massive 6-foot-2 frame of opponent Anthony Johnson.

The Brazilian slugger said he’s relying on Simba for inspiration at Rio de Janeiro’s HSBC Arena.

With Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal’s emphatic win over Lorenz Larkin this past Saturday, Strikeforce’s field of viable contenders further dwindled.
