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 title. 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.

I wonder what Brock has that he doesn't want to get out? Herpes?

I am not a fan of the guy and his antics and yes he is overrated, but I do hope he gets well..

Brock is faking illness so he doesn't have to ever fight Fedor.

I still think its hepatitis.

What makes you think that?

Maybe all his tats or something. Or Kissing sable

If he's having his intestines cut on, it's very, very serious

That's what I read. Intestinal disorder.

Very tricky stuff. Hard to beat an infection that gets in there

He has some kind of crazy bacterial infection in his intestines he probably ate something that wasnt right or maybe Sable tried to poison him

I heard from a source inside the mma community that he has Colon Cancer.

Shit in this country is a joke a times. We have all these fighters, boxers, wrestlers, MMA guys, people in general etc. coming down with bad bacterial infections, that antibiotics aren't curing. Their lives are in danger, yet there is an alternative way to eradicate bacterial infections from your body, that actually works around damn near 100% of the time even for antibiotic resistant bugs like MRSA etc. Yet it isn't legal in this country to get cured using this method, because big pharma hasn't found out a way to make money off of it yet. But people have been getting their infections cured over in eastern Europe for about 40 years now using this method. Bacteriophages, are even type specific. So instead of taking strong a$$ antibiotics that are killing all the bacteria in your guts except for the ones that need to be killed, and in the process making you sicker, because you will now have bad diarhea since all of your stomach and intestinal flaura have been killed off, you could be getting treated with something that is type specific. A specific cocktail of bacteriophages that only attack the bacteria causing your infection. Leaving the good bacteria in your body alive and well.

Phage therapy would likely have Nog's staff cured in less than two weeks.

Lesner's likely could be cured in the same time frame, as long as the right phages are paired with the bacteria causing his infection.

Can't recall the name of the disorder that he allegedly has. Something about pitting in the large intestine......very painful. Not sure how treatable it is. One report I heard suggested that his career was in doubt. Can't help but wonder when health issues like this arise, if its the result of some of the shit he may have put into his body.

Oh I see. The article I read speculated it was a bacterial infection.

It is...caused by pitting in the intestines. Those pits are prone to infection due to bacterial accumulation.

any updates in his condition?

He had surgery and is on the mend.
