Report: Brock Lesnar Out Of Proposed UFC 108 Bout Against Shane Carwin

Frank Mir And Brock Lesnar II Will Take Place At UFC 100

Sources close to Brock Lesnar's camp informed Heavy.com tonight that Lesnar will not be able to participate in the postponed main event of UFC 108 against Shane Carwin.

Lesnar has battled an undisclosed illness for the past month that forced him to withdraw from a scheduled title defense against Carwin at UFC 106. The bout was rescheduled for UFC 108, but Heavy.com learned earlier this week that Lesnar has not recovered from the illness and cannot train at even a moderate page without quickly becoming exhausted.

A source close to the UFC confirmed the story while pointing out that Lesnar was never officially part of the UFC 108 card.

I made a post earlier today stating that this was a possibility, and now it looks like it has come to fruition. According to Lesnar's head trainer, he could possibly have mononucleosis instead of what they thought was H1N1. That's too bad for Shane Carwin.

so now we know why nog/cain got made so quick. 108 is still a dope card. maybe they will try and pair up brock and gsp again, wich would be a ppv bonanza. if brock keeps missing dates, he will start to lose some steam on fedor, especially since fedor will be fighting this sat.

damn it…I want to see Nog/Lesnar…BUT…if Nog can beat Cain…I’d feel a whole lot better about his chances against Lesnar.

nog/lesnar

is the biggest money fight the ufc has imo. why waste it? go back to the orignal plan of carwin vs cain and let brock fight nog in feb. seems like easy matchmaking to me, but…. we all know how that goes.

Mono sucks.

For a guy as big as him I’m sure it’s tough enough day to day without having to train. It’s tough to imagine him getting stuff done around the house with that baby.
