Brock Lesnar Hospitalized And Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira Is Out Of UFC 108 Fight

Brock Lesnar apparently collapsed in Canada and is now hospitalized in North Dakota according to the Canadian Press:

"He's in rough shape, he's in really bad shape," White said Saturday after UFC 105.

"He is not well and he is not getting any better. . . . He's very, very sick and he's going to be out for a while. He's got a lot of problems."

"He's got mono and he's got something else wrong with him. I know what's wrong with him, he just doesn't want me talking about it," White said.

"He doesn't have cancer or AIDS or anything like this, (but) he's got some problems, man." He said Lesnar may have to go to the Mayo Clinic or another top hospital "to figure out what's wrong with this guy."

So it seems as if the UFC heavyweight champion will be out of action for quite a while, if not indefinitely unless they can figure out what's wrong with him. My thing is, White knows what's wrong with him, but Lesnar may have to goto a top hospital to figure out what's wrong with him? Also, the newly announced fight between Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Cain Velasquez at UFC 108 is now off. Nogueira has been struck with another staph infection, and it's apparently in his bloodstream now:

"(It's) bad, to the point now that it's in his bloodstream," White said. "He's probably going to have to be hospitalized and intravenously given antibiotics."

To make matters worse, Shane Carwin just underwent knee surgery, but it's not specified how long he'll be out of action.

you think this has anything to do with past steroid abuse?

As far as I know..dude’s never tested positive for them…so I can’t say that’s the case.

i'm not sure either but i think he refered to it in a post interview after he was done

with the wwe. he said he was living a dirty life and wanted to move on to something new. part of it was groupies when he said that but i also think he was refering to this. i’ll just say it “might” be a possiblity. get well soon brock the ufc needs you. it was a great free show on spike. great fights and my boy hardy come through. he was bet up to a + 200 in reno. he had a great gameplan while swick’s was awful. peace.

No.

The guy has been fighting professionally for over two years, and in the states that have an athletic commision that he fights (ie every UFC fight) he has to be licensed. To get licensed, you go through health exams and blood tests (steroids, drugs of abuse, disease, etc) to make sure you’re not spreading anything to other fighters. So in a word, no.

Well

it takes a while for it to show up in your blood stream, but Brock has been settled down for a while now, so that is likely out of the question.

i was talking about when he was in the wwe. that was 4 or 5 years ago.

I know what you meant, what I’m saying is that if that was the case something would’ve come up between now and then. These typically aren’t things that incubate for four or five years and then spring out of nowhere without tests catching it in the meantime.
