UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar has withdrawn from his upcoming title defense against Shane Carwin due to illness, UFC President Dana White told Yahoo Sports on Monday.

“He said he’s never been this sick in his life,” White said of Lesnar. “He said it’s been going on for a long time and he just hasn’t been able to shake it.”

Lesnar was scheduled to face Carwin Nov. 21 in Las Vegas at UFC 106. White told Yahoo, however, that Lesnar has been sick for more than three and a half weeks and has been unable to train. White does not think Lesnar has the H1N1 virus, according to Yahoo’s report.

Sherdog.com has not been able to reach Carwin for comment, but he posted on his Twitter account that he was "very disappointed."

"It's (disappointing) hearing about your career and life through the media," Carwin wrote in a second message. "Nothing from the (bosses) yet."

This article was updated at 4:47 p.m. EST with quotes from Carwin's Twitter account.

djohn14 mentioned it in one of the other threads so I surfed to see what was going on.

Damn I hope its not true. 4 weeks to get back in shape seems like a long time to me, especially for someone like Lesnar. Maybe the roids take longer to kick in.

ufc 104 sucks and now ufc 106 will suck

Thanks for the backup!

Camps are longer than 4 weeks, and apparently Brock has been unable to shake off the illness for almost a month. It's a bad situation for the UFC, after UFC 104 controversy.

I hope this is rescheduled for sometime within the next 2 months and they don't waste Carwin's time with another opponent. That belt needs to be defended as soon as Brock's health permits. Get well, Brocky!

[dallaskd]

what a vag. nog would have sucked it up.

[anakha]

what a vag. nog would have sucked it up.

And look where that got him against Mir.

[760Spursfan]

Sucks for Carwin, I am sure he is bummed especially having to hear it throught the media. I haven't seen Carwin fight but I was actually looking forward to this fight since Mir got his ass kicked.

[djohn14]

I dont know how they are going to save this one, but Im looking forward to finding out.

[desflood]

Tito/Forrest is now the main event.

[tlongII]

This sucks. Tito/Forrest is not a good main event.

[dbreiden83080]

what a vag. nog would have sucked it up.

Last time Nog sucked it up Mir flattened him..

[dbreiden83080]

This sucks but they'll just postpone till like UFC 108 or something. If Brock has been sick enough to be out of camp for a few weeks, it's smart to call it off and reschedule..

[dallaskd]

Last time Nog sucked it up Mir flattened him..

Kids.. the reality here is, Lesnar heard Carwin was coming so he backed out.

[dbreiden83080]

Kids.. the reality here is, Lesnar heard Carwin was coming so he backed out.

Brock's about as scared of Carwin as he was of Mir.. They'll reschedule..

[desflood]

This sucks. Tito/Forrest is not a good main event.
It's better than Couture/Vera. Forrest/Tito is at least somewhat relevant to the rankings.

[lebomb]

I will not tune in to Forrest/Tito.............no thanks.

[desflood]

Too sick to train - but not too sick to catch a Vikings game.

Saw that weird, but if he's been out of camp, for weeks i get why it's off. Rumor is they are looking at UFC 108 for reschedule.

[dbreiden83080]

Kids.. the reality here is, Lesnar heard Carwin was coming so he backed out.

-Clears Throat-

"Shane Carwin has just Tweeted that he’ll be officially fighting Brock Lesnar on January 2nd at UFC 108, barring any injuries or illnesses of course. “Just received a bout agreement for UFC 108. “Looks like January 2nd is the new date,” The number one contender wrote."

[dallaskd]

I guess Brock needed a little more time. His butt must have been real tight when he figured he couldnt dodge it completely.

Brock by GNP RD 2 book it..

[dallaskd]

Brock by GNP RD 2 book it..

You on Forrest vs Silva..


Against Middleweights he is 10 times better than. If he beats down Forrest like Irvin, i will be friggin shocked. Forrest is a legit great 205er..


Well he threw a leg kick and got cracked right on the button with a counter, really anyone goes out with a shot like that. We'll see, i just don't see Forrest getting blown out of the water here..


Im just gonna ignore your predictions all together..

[dbreiden83080]

You on Forrest vs Silva..






Im just gonna ignore your predictions all together..

LOL okay..

dbreiden83080 -----67-34 .663
dallaskd ------------57-34 .626

BTW

Who told you GSP would beat the dog shit out of BJ like the bitch he is??

Who told you Randy was gonna lose to Brock??

Oh yeah you also had Herring and Mir beating Brock in the rematch..

[dallaskd]

I make my picks by who i like not buy any complex MMath. But congrats on your ST prediction title. maybe your new name should be stat.

Well don't shit-talk me about garbage if you don't want some facts thrown in your face there buddy..

[dbreiden83080]

I make my picks by who i like.

That's how i buy my stocks you know? If the name of the company sounds really catchy, i call my financial guy right away and say "Get me 100 shares of that man gotta have it"

[dallaskd]

you dont own any stock, stat.

[dbreiden83080]

Stock yes, Crack sorry all out..

[Stringer_Bell]

I also choose my predictions based on who I like (could be a name or comment the fighter makes), but if I was betting on people I'd use those fightmetric things and create my own "strength of schedule" table to figure out who has beaten more quality fighters based on empirical statistical evidence.

Then I'd be "stat" and put it on my Gina Carano boyfriend application. :wakeup

[The TroutBum]

After UFC welterweight Jon Fitch's original opponent, Ricardo Almeida, was forced to withdraw from a UFC 106 contest due to injury, the American Kickboxing Academy product agreed to instead meet Thiago Alves at UFC 107.

But Fitch again finds himself without an opponent, as AOL FanHouse is reporting that Alves has now been forced to withdraw as well.

AOL FanHouse's report cites a torn posterior cruciate ligament as the culprit, and MMAjunkie.com has since been able to verify the assessment.

Everyone? Really? He's had a few wins, along with one embarrassing defeat. Heath was a worthless win, and as much as I hate to say it, so was Mir. Randy was his only decent win.

Carwin is going to make him bleed. I can't wait.

Embarassing defeat, he was winning that fight and got caught in a sub that's MMA for you..

Herring was a top 10-12 Heavy in the world when they fought, Brock handed him his ass for 3 rds with just 2 fights experience..

Randy he handled with little trouble..

And he cracked Mir hard in the Re-Match.

Brock's the real deal, i don't know why so many people give him shit. There's far bigger assholes in MMA than Brock..

You know, you guys don't live that far apart -- why not meet up and go 3 5 minute rounds? I'll be the ref.

Are there any fighters (pro or amateur) in here that know a decent strategy to stop Lesnar besides getting him sick? Hell, does anyone have one?

Keep flexing keyboard warrior, it's so scary..

[dbreiden83080]

edit.. im not going to waste my time with you.

You haven't even told me what your fuckin problem is with me at all. I got news for you nine times out of ten when we get into it you are the one that starts it, not me. I say something supportive about a fighter i root for and you come along with a nasty remark at me, like this when i was talking to someone else about Brock.


and beat on your face..

I'm not talking to you and my comment has nothing to do with you yet you attack me anyway..

[dallaskd]

Correction: lame ass nigga wit' attitude, bitch.

Seems like a quick turnaround for Anthony Johnson to be fighting again. I guess that one punch he threw a few weeks ago didn't bother him too much.

It should mean a much easier weight cut for him this time around - not as much time in between to gain it all back.

Yeah just ignore comments like that or pm him. No reason to spill it all over this nice semi troll free forum. Dallas come on man your a mod here, you know better than that.

Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight title-holder Brock Lesnar has mononucleosis and can’t train for at least a month, and perhaps as long as six weeks, UFC president Dana White said Wednesday...

White had targeted the rescheduled bout for Jan. 2 in Las Vegas as the main event of UFC 108, but that is now also out of the question. Lesnar won’t be able to begin training until sometime in December.

White said he is unsure when the Lesnar-Carwin fight will occur or whether Carwin will fight an opponent in the interim.

I didn't know mono could take someone out of training for 6 weeks. I'm never sharing drinks, cigarettes, or ham sandwiches again.

[polandprzem]

Interim would be the worst thing they could come up with.

Set him with Nog or cain on Jan2

UFC losing the mega HW bout so they are priobably pissed as heck

Mono is bad news. My father had it when he was young and he was pretty out of it for like 6 months. Roger Federer tried to play through it and was not himself for most of the season about 2 years ago..
