Brock Lesnar is in extremely bad shape and there are questions as to whether he will ever fight again.

Lesnar, 32, is in far worse shape than he has been letting on. He went to Canada last week to try to get some rest, collapsed, and was rushed to the hospital. He has mono and also something else that he doesn't want to get out, and all we now is that he does not have cancer and he does not have AIDS. It is, however, extremely serious and he will not be fighting again for a long, long time, if he is able to fight again.

Dana White is heading to Minnesota tonight and will be working to get Lesnar to the Mayo Clinic or equivalent medical facility for treatment.

Also, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira has a staph infection and his fight with Cain Velasquez at UFC 108 is off. Nogueira will need an IV to hopefully get the infection out. He is also in bad shape.

With Lesnar out indefinitely, Shane Carwin will be undergoing knee surgery, so he will not be available to face Velasquez at UFC 108.

Don't shoot the messenger!

En nog wat meer info op Sherdog.

Damn, dat is beroerd! Op sherdog staat overigens dat hij ondermeer mononucleosis heeft. Ik kende het niet, maar volgens wikipedia betreft dit de ziekte van Pfeifer.

Marloes heeft een aantal jaar geleden toch ook Pfeifer gehad? Denk dat als hij dat op deze leeftijd heeft dat het inderdaad wel even kan duren voordat hij weer hersteld is... Maar wel weer een beetje vaag verhaal.

Klopt idd, maar als ik het verhaal goed lees heeft hij mogelijk meer onder de leden.

Las net op mmalinker.com dat hij ook iets aan zijn nieren had ofzo..ziet er niet best uit voor hem als het klopt.

Brock Lesnar's Health In Question; Blame Canada?

Brock Lesnar; Proof that kissing can deliver cooties.

A man who made his MMA debut under the K-1 banner, Brock Lesnar has apparently succumbed to the ways of living like a mountain man. What was first reported as a bout with Mono (the kissing disease!) has apparently taken a turn for the worse. Dana White briefly touched upon Brock's illness in the post-fight press conference at UFC 105.

White said Lesnar collapsed while spending time on a retreat in Canada and was checked into a hospital.

"[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."

White said he's not yet sure what the UFC will do regarding the heavyweight division with its champion on the shelf for an indeterminable amount of time.

"If it's a long wait, we're gong to have to do something," White said. "We're going to have to – the last thing I ever want to do is strip a guy who won a title. That's the last thing I want to do. I don't know if we'll have to do an interim or what we'll do to fix it."

White said there's still more questions than answers surrounding his heavyweight champion, but one thing was certain: Lesnar will be on the shelf for the foreseeable future.

Honestly, going to Canada might not of been the best idea, what with all the SARS and public healthcare. What else is plaguing the UFC? How about Big Nog? Oh, right, he has another rough bout with staph infection. Ouch.
