Brock Lesnar is Extremely Sick

Brocklesnarpreufc87_medium

In late October Brock Lesnar withdrew from his title fight against Shane Carwin due to an illness. Later it became public that Lesnar was afflicted with mononucleosis but a new report indicates that things may be worse than a simple case of mono.

Dana White informed MMA Junkie of Lesnar's health issues,

"[Lesnar] is in bad shape, and the reality is they don't really know all that's wrong with him," White said. "He owns a bunch of property in Canada. He went up to Canada just to get away from his house, to go up there and just kind of chill out up there.

"He [expletive] dropped. He went down, and he had to go to the hospital. They ran every test on the planet on him, and they ended up finding out something else was wrong with him."

It is beginning to look like the UFC heavyweight champion will be out of commission for an extended period. So what will the UFC do to fill their pay-per view schedule?

An interim title makes sense but who will fight for it? Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira is out with a staph infection, Shane Carwin just underwent knee surgery and Frank Mir is fighting Cheick Kongo at UFC 107. That leaves Cain Velasquez as the last man standing. Could we see an interim title fight between Cain and the winner of Mir vs. Kongo?

Talk about gag worthy.

Remember when Frank Mir said in an article....

…that he wanted to End Brock’s Career?

Unlikely but very interesting, all things considering….

But in all seriousness, let’s hope this sickness doesn’t threaten Brock’s life ’cause no matter how much one could despise someone, you NEVER wish anyone to real harm in real life.

I agree but...

We have to consider the source. In this case Dana White and all his promoter bullshit.

The counter-counter point is the Zach Arnold perspective which states that Brock has quite at everything he has done.

I read that Brock didn’t want the problem disclosed – you think that’s a cover-up?
