Brock

Brock appears to be in a bad, career threatening way beyond the original mono:

Major surgery adds a new thing to the mix. The earlier nature of the comments made me think it might be something along the lines of Hepatitis (since cancer and HIV were denied by Dana). Major intestinal disorder and surgery... doesn't sound like Hep at this stage. Not how one would describe kidney failure either, which would be something that's career threatening.

 

I'm less knowledgeable about intestinal issues than kidney and liver. Anyone know what the possibilities of what this is sounding like that could be career threatening?

BTW... does anyone having an idea why Yahoo's UFC page has nothing on this since Saturday? TMZ had a piece this morning that's getting quoted all over the place:

The MSM is on it:

 

Minneapolis Star Tribune

Toronto Star

http://www.thestar.com/sports/article/7264...ry-manager-says

 

And others.

 

Strange. They get tons of MMA/UFC hits/traffic to the point of being proud about it. Kind of a big story.

Brock has vowed to make the Cottton Bowl show.

Nature Boy Coture vs Brock Von Lesnar

Dave said he has at least 3 or 4 things wrong with him, at least 2 of which are known. I really liked the joke on DVDVR about people thinking they're Dr. House.

[El-P]

Cracked me up too.

 

So, what's really wrong with Brock already? Complications from mono ?

[jdw]

That's a lot of complications from Mono.

Per Dana White, it's some sort of intestinal disorder. Brock has to undergo surgery and his fighting career may be over.

Rumour mill says it's diverticulitis, which if it requires surgery probably indicates that they'll remove the area of the colon with the diverticula. In other words, a partial colectomy.

AP is calling it a bacterial infection in his intestinal track.

Well, don't ever ask Dana White to report on your health condition.

[floyd]

That's crazy. I didnt know such complications could come from mono. I'm guessing he forced himself to train or refused to go to the doctor to get treated and his immune system got shot?

 

I dont know cause I dont watch House. More of a "Lost" guy (which is why i'm always confused) :-)

 

Here hoping they find out what wrong with him and he starts getting treated and its not serious since he just had a child,

It's lupus.

It's not lupus.

[Matt D]

It's never Lupus.

Lesnar's BJJ coach Rodrigo Medeiros is claiming that Lesnar will be back in 6 months.

 

The Lesnar camp also released this hype video on their YouTube account:
