The Toronto Star has posted an article today revealing new information concerning UFC Champion Brock Lesnar's current medical condition. Below are highlights from the article, and you can read the entire piece if you CLICK HERE.

Ailing cage fighter Brock Lesnar has developed a serious intestinal disorder that requires surgery, Ultimate Fighting Championship boss Dana White told TMZ.com Monday.

UFC President Dana White originally told the press, this past weekend, that "He's [Lesnar] not well. He's not going to be getting well anytime soon," White told reporters after a UFC event in England. "He doesn't have cancer or AIDS or anything like this, (but) he's got some problems."

On Monday, White clarified his diagnosis somewhat. He also said that Lesnar is back in the U.S. and that he might be admitted to the Mayo Clinic for surgery. According to White, Lesnar, 32, might never fight again

Lesnar himself has not been heard from since cancelling a scheduled bout three weeks ago. Shortly thereafter, UFC announced that Lesnar had contracted mononucleosis. Rumours swirled that he had swine flu. Things appear to be going from bad to worse for the superstar mixed-martial artist.

Brock Lesnar is in extremely bad shape and it will be some time as to when he will fight again.

Lesnar, 32, 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 has requested confidentiality with the UFC as to what it is. Dana White said tonight that he promised Lesnar to keep the disease private, and said he doesn't have cancer or AIDS. It is, however, extremely serious and there are at least two things wrong and there may be more.

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


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

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

We can also report that Shane McMahon had a meeting at the UFC offices recently. Dana White, when asked for more information, responded, "No comment."

So nobody noticed the part where Dana White said "disease?" It's not H1N1 and wow, nobody feels a little sympathetic? Sure lots of people (The_Dude) have some hatred for his WWE run, but come on.

Hey, I was keeping quiet, the whole "if you can't say something nice" routine. 97% of what I could say would result in loss of karma points and I need all the good karma I can get.

Plus, its not his WWE run I hate, he had a lot of quality matches and his athletic talents are incredible. The problems with his WWE run are largely WWE's fault. Its the way he ended his WWE run and everything he's done since that bothers me about Lesnar.

I may hate the guy, but the only injury I've wished upon him is professional injury (and injury's not the write word, I just want Lesnar to lose every fight he ever has in quick, highly embarrassing fashion), I have never wished serious injury or illness on the guy. He is a human being afterall.

He has my sympathies and I hope he has a speedy recovery...

I wasn't singling you out, I was just referring to a person who I knew doesn't like him.

Anyways, did you see Generico vs. Shingo yet? Are Hero/Danielson, CIMA/Bucks vs. MCMG/Spanky, Davey/Shingo, or Danielson/Do something you'd want to check out?

I was listening to Meltzer, and according to him, White said (or something to the effect of) it was one time you will hear him say no comment.

I have been rather vocal, in the past. I was going to let this slide.

And Shane-O-Mac meeting with UFC is highly curious. I doubt anything will come of it. Seriously, if you're Dana White, how the hell could you trust Shane McMahon.

I actually haven't because I was already sold on that show. I'm going to go on a splurge around New Years when I move (would have made order eariler, but so much easier to wait until I'm back on my own), which should be around the time that BOLA pre-orders show up, maybe a couple of FIP shows finally get released (not holding my breath, but BOTB II, PLEASE), and, hopefully, get a bundle of the two DGUSA PPVs. Maybe even an ROH order, with the right sale. I'm sure they've done something worthwhile since Supercard 4... right... right? I mean KENTA was around a bunch.

I wish him a speedy recovery too, I can't imagine what may be wrong with him. But it must be something really bad since he doesn't want anyone to know.

and lol The_Dude. Funny sarcasm never gets you negative Karma points.

Unlikely. He'd have to be pretty hard up to come back. He has shown nothing but disdain for the business that made him.

If he considered it, it would fall apart quickly. TNA can't (or shouldn't try) pay him what he thinks he's worth, and he should never win a WWE match ever again.

Finally, if this threatens his MMA career, I can't see how wrestling would still be an option (at least regularly). Not just bumps, but the travel schedule can't be much better for the gut.

Its pretty clear, by this point, that it would take a lot to get me to stop watching wrestling, but, were the stars to align and he were to come back, I honestly believe that would actually do it.

Dana White recently spoke with Yahoo Sports! about Brock Lesnar's health issues, here are the highlights

On What They Found: "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."

I feel for the guy. Leaving WWE may have been a good plan, since I would rather die than see a Lesnar/Lashley feud.

I hope he is able to recover from this, and hopefully fight again. I mean you can tell that Brock really loves fighting and just putting and act for people to talk about. I am one of those fans that "love to hate him" just because of the way he goes about his business.

And Jimmy, if Lesnar was to recover and be able to fight and Lashley could prove he is a legit fighter. Well, they might have a real feud and face each other in the octagon. lol, of course it would be much different and probably more enjoyable.
