Brock Lesnar, the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s massive heavyweight titleholder, was forced to withdraw Monday from his highly anticipated Nov. 21 title defense in Las Vegas against Shane Carwin.
“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.”
White said he does not believe Lesnar had the H1N1 virus, commonly known as swine flu.
Both men weigh around 295 pounds and cut weight to make the heavyweight division’s 265-pound limit.
White said he is not sure when the fight will be rescheduled or if Carwin will still fight on the card.
