Brock Lesnar Has Mono; Fight With Shane Carwin Pushed Back Even Further
(You can blame Kurt Angle for this one.)
From a post on shane-carwin.com titled "UFC 108 Not Happening For Me":
Guys my manager Jason Genet just told me that UFC 108 is not happening. Brock has Mono and what the UFC has told me is that I have earned the title shoot but I have to wait for the title holder. I hope Brock gets well soon. I highly suggest he get into a Max Muscle store because they have the best advice and supplements to support that advice. It really is the only way to make it through the grueling weather and training we live through. [Ed. note: Damn, Shane, that was the smoothest product placement since Wayne's World.] Here's to spending some time with the family and eating as much as I can at Thanksgiving.
Heavy.com confirms that Lesnar has been struck down by what teenagers refer to as "the kissing disease," and not the flu as originally reported. There's currently no timeframe on when Brock will be healthy enough to return to competition.
Unfortunately, this means UFC 108 is currently being headlined by Rashad Evans vs. Thiago Silva. But there is hope: To shore up the January 2nd card, a heavyweight clash between Cain Velasquez and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira may be in the works — which would surely determine who's next in line for a title shot after Shane finally gets his turn.

@echoxer0:
Really? I thought steroids were sometimes used to treat mono, didn't know it could be a side effect.

It looks like you skinhead fags are at it again.

I know wrestling is fake, but that kiss looked soooo real.

Apparently Brock did more than just get on his wife...
831 Son Says:
What the fuck is with everyone getting injured or sick. My Muay Thai gym, and my BJJ gym have over 10 dudes collectively out with injuries or sickness. I just broke my ankle too so Im in that mix.
I hope Nogueira destroys Cain's dumb ass by the way.
Da Spied Her Says:
It's nice to finally see a MMA fighter with some decent acting skills.
Harry Russo Says:
Kurt Angle eats percocet like chicklets.
Sneaky Pete Says:
"Kissing disease"? I thought it was called the "hornblower's disease". Go figure.

Cain vs. Biggie Noggles, eh? So much for that unbeaten streak. Well, maybe if he learns to turn his fucking hips when he throws a punch...
mthomas Says:
Wow...apparently since he won't be fighting at UFC 106 OR 108, Shane Carwin has had to find other ways to SUPPLEMENT his income. Get it! Get it!? Whatever, fuck you guys....
Aenarion Says:
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
fACE7biter Says:
Get mthomas a t-shirt!
mthomas Says:
@ fACE7biter: Thanks!
mthomas Says:
I thought Lesnar "didn't like gays": perhaps he just prefers to be the one making the advances...
Merlin Says:
No, I said come ninety then I come ten! You don't go the whole hundred! My mouth was open, Brock ... You overeager son of a BITCH!
UFC fan Says:
stupid lesner , never suck a cock after 831 son has been licking on it.
Tai-Pan Says:
Its not gay as long as your the one getting your dick sucked.
NateGetsIrate Says:
I'm sure his excuse is that he was acting and he gets paid to act, but then i start thinking about the ever popular question "would you let another dude ream you in the ass for a million dollars"...
gracie_nuthugger Says:
Isnt it strange that out of the two gay fake wrestlers, the one who was TWICE world champion isnt in MMA and the one who never even made the national team (and whose claim to fame was beating a few 18-21 yrs olds ouf of high school) is an MMA champion?
