Brock Lesnar withdraws from title fight with Shane Carwin

Kevin Iole breaks the story,

UFC president Dana White confirmed the news to Yahoo! Sports. White said Lesnar has been ill for more than three-and-a-half weeks and unable to train. With the bout at UFC 106 less than a month away, Lesnar was forced to postpone the title defense.

"He said he's never been this sick in his life," White said. "He said it's been going on for a long time and he just hasn't been able to shake it."

This certainly opens the door for Cain Velasquez, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Junior dos Santos all of whom are coming off of recent wins.

Will the UFC decided to make Shane Carwin's fight at 106 for an interim title? Or will they pull Carwin off the card?

obviously big news here and i was really hyped for 106. They will take Carwin off the card. If he fights and loses they lose a huge fight between him and Brock. When Brock is ready they promotional job for that fight will be so easy, just let them talk.

pull him off the card
