UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar is said to be suffering from a ’serious illness’ that may lead him to an early permanent retirement from fighting.
Contacted today by The Times, UFC owner Lorenzo Fertitta would say only that the organization is granting Lesnar’s request for privacy.
The Yahoo story, quoting UFC President Dana White from a Saturday event in Manchester, England, reported that Lesnar recently collapsed in Canada and returned home to learn he had a health problem beyond his previous diagnosis for mononucleosis.
Lesnar had to pull out of his scheduled fight Saturday at UFC 106 in Las Vegas and the UFC’s Jan. 2 card versus Shane Carwin.
“It’s bad,” White told Yahoo’s Dave Meltzer. “It’s real bad. I am worried about it. I can’t really talk about it right now, but [Lesnar] is in rough shape.”
Rumor has it he’s suffering from an intestinal disorder and will probably require major surgery resulting in his inability to fight again. I’m not into UFC type sports but if you’ve never seen Brock, the man is an animal. He’s huge and really good at what he does. Let’s hope all this is media hype and Brock will recover smoothly from his illness. Although he may never return to the Ultimate Fighting ring, let’s hope he continues to live a happy healthy life.

The last think I heard is that he is going to be ok. Should return home soon.

I understand White hyping Lesnar, but lets be rational.
