UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar has already re-scheduled his bout with Shane Carwin twice. Now it appears to be off indefinitely.

At Saturday night's UFC 105 post-event press conference, UFC president Dana White said the mononucleosis that had been bothering Lesnar is still present, but the champ is now suffering a new set of illnesses, as well.

"I am worried about it," White said. "I can't really talk about it right now, but [Lesnar] is in rough shape. He's in really bad shape.

"I'm actually probably going to fly to go see him, and we're going to probably have to do some stuff to take care of this guy. He is not well, and he's not getting any better."

White said he wasn't sure how serious the new illnesses were and whether they could be career- or even life-threatening.

"I don't know," White told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "I've got to get him to one of these really good hospitals with really good doctors to figure out what's wrong and how we get him better."

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.

"He is not good," White said. "He is very, very sick, and he's going to be out for a while.

"He doesn't want to talk about it publicly, but he's in bad shape. He's not well. He's not going to be getting well anytime soon.

This is really crazy news. First it was mono, now he has something else seriously wrong with him. I am not a huge fan of his, but you never want to see this happen.

In all honesty, it sounds like his career is the least of his worries atm. -He is an uber athlete, and for something to affect him like this is bad news. -Sounds like his life is really in danger There are tons of viruses, fungi, etc. that can do some terrible things to you My buddies dad got the Hanta virus and almost died a day later

Sounds like it could be Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, or some other type of dysautonomia.

I hope everything goes well for Brock, though he's a bit controversial he's still a human being

and one hell of an athelete. If he's out for too long Dana White, as much as he doesn't want

to might have to strip the title. I say Shane Carwin vs Cain Velasquez.

Mononucleousis is such a horrible illness, it ruins so many athletic careers.

This is not cool, I actually liked Lesnar. I hope that he gets well soon so I can watch him destroy Carwin.

There are going to have a meeting next week to determine Lesnar's future. Dana has mentioned he most likely will strip the title from him, but no one knows exactly what will happen.
