Dana White talks about Brock Lesnar's Illness

Dana White took to the ESPN airwaves to give updates about Brock Lesnar's status.

Also Dan Wetzel got more information from White regarding Lesnar's health,

White cautioned that things could still go either way. He could fight. He could not. No one knows at this point. Lesnar was resting Wednesday at his home in Alexandria, Minn. and was scheduled to visit the famed Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. early next week for a battery of tests.

"He had a hole in his intestine," White said. "The (stuff) was leaking into his stomach. That's what was causing him so much pain. That and he had abscesses.

"The doctor told him he hasn't been right for a year. His immune system has been trying to fight this thing and that's why he was susceptible to getting sick."

That likely explains Lesnar's original diagnosis of mono. He had been weakened to the point that he was unable to train for the Carwin fight for much of October. That prompted the original delay in the fight. Then last week, the intestinal problem flamed up and Lesnar was hospitalized.

I am not going to argue with Dana White but I am not sure how a hole in your intestine causes leakage into your stomach. Maybe he means abdomen? But we are splitting hairs.

WKR's best wishes to Brock Lesnar and his family.
