Brock Lesnar is very, very sick

[tlongII]

I wonder how much weight he's lost?

I hate Lesnar with a passion, but he is good for the UFC and good for the sport.

Brock Lesnar's longtime friend and Jiu-Jitsu coach Rodrigo "Comprido" Medeiros told TMZ yesterday that Brock WILL be ready to fight again within six months.

"I can just say that the heavyweights can stop laughing and get ready to start crying because the champion will be back soon."

Lesnar is healing up following surgery to fix a hole in his intestine.

Hope this isn't bull , so we can go back to cheering him on/booing the out of him in the ring.

Alright, I'm a . I get it. You guys are all right. I said some things I shouldn't have, and now, I am regretting it. Ya, ya, it's just an internet message board, but I really do feel like a . I have done a lot of reading about Lesner today, and I must admit, I feel even worse for it.

You guys have made some good points, and I agree with all of you. I hope he gets better, I hope he returns to the cage, and I hope that someone breaks his face in there.


And, to top it off, you guys will love this...

I've been sick for the last two weeks or so. I actually had to go to the hospital twice because of insane pain in my left side. After weeks of pain, many trips to the doctors, etc. they diagnosed me with Mono. Go figure, eh? So, on top of feeling like a complete head here, I've now got what Brock has. Life, it seems, has a sense of revenge.

Hope you get better soon as well. Being sick sucks.

Its just that we've managed to keep discussions here highly civil for a couple of years...and through the arguments we've managed to stay from crossing the standard forum overboard comment line.

No biggy...glad you're feeling better.

Damn, that was close.

Brock is such a unique physical specimen. It would be a damn shame for us to be robbed of our entertainment.

Dana and everyone need to quit ing around and get THE FIGHT locked in. This is reaching IanMckellen/TheHobbit status QUICK. The world is running out of time!!!!!!

Dana White: Brock Lesnar's doctor claims he's been competing at 60% for the past year


UFC President Dana White recently talked with Steve Cofield about a variety of issues ranging from the return of o Ortiz to competing against boxing cards and answering questions about UFC Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar's status and future.

If it were up to Lesnar, nobody would even know he was sick. Understandably, he puts heavy emphasis on personal privacy (though some might question that after he publicly proclaimed his post-UFC 100 plans between himself and his wife).

According to White, Lesnar's problem is a perforated intestine which had a derogatory effect on his immune system causing him to be constantly worn down. Lesnar recently had surgery, but its unknown if the hole was completely closed.

White also said in the video interview embedded below that doctors told Lesnar that he's only been competing at 60% due to the condition.

If that diagnosis is correct, how much better can a fully recovered Brock Lesnar really be? Does it mean that he'll be stronger? Faster? Have more endurance? Be more flexible?

The only area that I can think of that could possibly be affected is his cardio. But the only time he's looked even remotely winded is at the end of the first round in his match against Randy Couture. Other than that, it's never been an issue.

But the hype machine will likely get rolling as soon as they know for sure that Brock is okay and is on his way to a full recovery.

Considering how Brock Lesnar was at 60% - that is some scary, scary sh*t right there.

Dana is already pimping Brocks return hard..

[ATRAIN]

Any more updates on Brock's return?
