A few weeks back UFC heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar was pulled off of the UFC 106 card in Las Vegas scheduled for Nov. 21, reportedly due to illness. Now it has been announced that his appearance on the UFC 108 card slated for January is cancelled too. According to UFC president Dana White, Brock is in “rough shape and won’t be back in the ring any time soon.”
Brock is currently in a hospital in North Dakota. Dana said, “He went to Canada and some bad stuff happened to him, so we’ve got to figure it out.” White went on to say that Brock does not want to talk publicly about his situation and White doesn’t expect him to be fully recovered any time soon.
It started out with people saying the fighter had swine flu. Shortly thereafter it was reported that he was suffering from mononucleosis. Now it appears that there is something else going on. What is wrong with Brock Lesnar?
Plans to send Lesnar to the Mayo Clinic or the Scripps Institute are being considered. Read more on what White had to say here.
