With the hospitals being so busy, he was forced to wait for a center to be available to take an MRI which happened today.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I haven&#8217;t gotten it checked out yet. I&#8217;ve been through enough injuries where I&#8217;m pretty sure it&#8217;s my ACL. It&#8217;s just a matter of how torn it is and what the severity is,&#8221; Kevin Lee said to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MMAonSiriusXM\/status\/1251288227690024962\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sirius XM<\/a>. &#8220;I got an appointment at 6:30 [today] all the hospitals are super backed up so I didn&#8217;t even bother going to the hospital. They are just sending me straight to the imaging center, get an MRI done on it. I haven&#8217;t been able to do much PT, it&#8217;s been about five days since it happened. It&#8217;s f****d, it&#8217;s my first time really going through a knee injury like this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Lee says he heard a loud a pop and since then the knee has been swelling. He also doesn&#8217;t know how long will be out as it depends on how the MRI goes.<\/p>\n<p>Not only is the knee bad, but &#8220;The Motown Phenom,&#8221; says he may also have been affected by the coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Honestly, not even doing anything that was totally out of the ordinary. I mean, I&#8217;m not going to stay specifically how it happened because of insurance, you know. But, it wasn&#8217;t something totally out of the ordinary,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I think I may have been affected by this whole virus and shit more than I think. For some reason, I&#8217;ve been overly fatigued and my body isn&#8217;t feeling great. I zigged when I should have zagged and heard a pop pretty loud. Since then I&#8217;m unable to move it much.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lee is coming off a submission loss to Charles Oliveira back at UFC Brasilia.
