Crazy- there's a few things that could look like mono, that would be discovered in certain types of blood panels, and some of them aren't good at all. Hope Brock is ok and gets better soon.
Dana White: Brock Lesnar is "not going to be getting well any time soon"

"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 le. 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"
Lets hope Dana was just being a little dramatic and we don't hear Brock has cancer or something..
Crazy- there's a few things that could look like mono, that would be discovered in certain types of blood panels, and some of them aren't good at all. Hope Brock is ok and gets better soon.
You mean Cancer..
Teh Herpes is known to people up
mono is a form of the herpes virus
It sounds like he has cancer, based on the comments from Dana or they fear he has Cancer..
any idea where the cancer would be?
Whatever is going on we'll know probably in a few days, as he is getting looked over by all these doctors..
if he used performance enhancers and unsanitary needles, it could be Hep or HIV
Dirty Needles, in this day and age, i doubt that..
I actually thought of that.
It's nothing like hep or HIV, or else Dana would say Lesnar was no longer "safe" to fight. My guess is that it's either a serious respiratory infection or something like diabetes that requires him to take doses on a regular basis. I know football players play with diabetes and sickle cell anemia.
Either way, I hope he's back to full health as quickly as possible.
Will I get blasted on here if I jump for joy and praise Allah?
Even though I've said it before, I don't want him to die -- but a career ending injury/illness would really make me moist.

Brock Lesnar is so sick, he'll be going to the Mayo Clinic so doctors can figure out what to do -- but it will probably require major surgery ... UFC Prez Dana White tells TMZ.
White tells us Lesnar -- the UFC heavyweight champ -- is "very, very sick" with some sort of intestinal disorder, although listening to White, it sounds a lot more serious than that. White says the condition will require "major surgery."
White is going to visit Lesnar in the hospital and is trying to get him transferred to the Mayo Clinic, one of the most renowned medical facilities in the world.
White says Lesnar -- formerly of the WWE -- was diagnosed with mono more than a week ago and was "bummed out" that he had to cancel the fight and went to Canada to rest. White says Lesnar collapsed in Canada a week ago today and has been hospitalized ever since.
White acknowledges the current condition is not mono but he will not be specific. White says the condition is not HIV or cancer.
And, White tells TMZ, "There's a possibility Lesnar will never fight again."

brock will find any excuse not to fight fedor
I can't help but irony.
That sucks.
That's unfortunate, if true.
I'm sure he'll fight again.. But he is probably gonna get stripped of the belt..
Bacterial infection in his intestinal tract..
http://sports.espn.go.com/extra/mma/...ory?id=4661873
We'll see if he needs some kind of surgery..
What i'm reading is if he needs surgery that it will heal very slowly and he may drop a ton of weight. That his career may be in danger because of the area never being suited for a fighter to come back from. This sounds bad, we'll see..
Well, that blows..
The guy's a freak physically, so hopefully that bodes well for his prognosis; it would suck not to be able to see the fighter he could become.
