I often think it would be lovely if gun-toting homophobes were suddenly struck ill.

Well, my work here is done.

Ok I guess I will be "that guy"
Fuck lesner, one way or another he was about to never fight again any fucking way, cause Carwin was going to cripple his roided up ass.
I don't care how sick he is but I hope I never see that useless bag of shit in the UFC again ever.
The day they announce he cant fight again will be the day the UFC gets some respect back.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.

lets give randy another belt .... couture vs congo for the interim title!!!!

Anal Tear

i'm telling you man. oral steroids. fuck those things man, they kill your insides.

Get better Big Guy. You're not my favorite fighter, but you're the man right now.

As for trying to guess just what disease he has with the information out there, it's just morbid speculation at this point. Why not just make a pool and take bets on it. I'll put my money on prostatitis. Priapism anyone?

whatever it is it's for real. Brock's on his way to the Mayo clinic.

@J-Dog

I doubt Lesnar has Crohn's disease. Crohn's is common among Jews. Brock's ancestors were Vikings, not money lenders.

Anyway, I'm pleased to see that most of the comments in this thread have been supportive. I had expected the Lesnar bashing to continue. Like him or hate him, Brock's a good fighter and a hard worker. I wish him and his family the best.

Bens, check out C Diff. its heavy duty and potentially surgical/life threatening and has to do with the intestines... He coulda shat out 30 lbs in a matter of days.

that really sucks. i really hope he gets better soon.

in the mean time, if lesnar doesnt come back does the ufc hw division lose a lot of credibility? without lesnar can we honestly have the debate of whether or not fedor is the best hw in the world?

get well soon brock, hope to see you in the cage again.

he might have crohns disease if it is intestinal related. mark my words...

Burger King claims another victim.

douche

Tomohawkfan:

You just wrinkled the living shit outta my brain... Yet very interesting...

I hope Brock gets better... Like someone mentioned above, I wanna see how a healthy Brock Lesnar's career will play it....

jokes aside, I do hope he recovers quickly and completely. If only because I want to see him lose (he must, someday - although he's looked better skilled and strategically in every match)

also jokes aside, I totally bet tomahawk is right - given what we know about BL there's virtual certainty that he never eats salad because 'its rabbit food for chicks and homos.'

If Brock dies, maybe Dana could try to work Sable into one of the story lines, that would be a classy send-off.

Sometimes a relaxing trip to Canada can ruin your career.

Sincerely,

Tony Mandarich

Maybe he has Crohn's disease or something. I had a g/f who was hospitalized for it a few times before finally having part of her colon removed. I don't think they treat it w/ antibiotics, though.

Anyway it's a bummer because I don't want to see him go out that way. If Fedor ever comes to the UFC or if there is ever another dominant heavyweight, I'd hate to see them have an asterisk after their legacy - *never fought Lesnar.

It also would suck to never see Lesnar be on the receiving end of a good beat down.

Stop being a pussy cockchest. You're fine!

Uhhh I almost guarantee that his fighting career is not going to be in jeopardy. Im not doubting that he might be pretty sick and need surgery, but this sort of talk from Dana is expected: Exaggeration, and jumping to conclusions too fast.

@tomahawk1fan I believe Allan Green, a world-ranked boxer, fights with part of his colon removed, but I could be mistaken.

@ tomahawk1fan:

Makes sense, I bet as soon as someone told Brock that fiber "pushes your stool" he immediately cut all fiber from his diet.

Damn i always was on his side for fights. I was the only one out of my mma crew. Met him in Minesota. We had the same flight to san jose. He was going to a wwe show. Then when we landed he was cool and took a pic with me. Ever since then ive been a fan no matter what hes doin. Hell be back

I hope the man gets better, that sucks..

Man, the Hvy Wt division of UFC is totally screwed right now. Lesnar is too sick to defend the title, so DW says over the weekend that there may be an interim champ...Who fights for that? Big Nog is out of his fight against Velasquez...So you could put Carwin vs. Velasquez for the interim strap, but oh wait...Carwin choose surgery, so he's out. Frank Mir shouldn't be involved because he's coming off a loss to Lesnar and is fighting Kongo who is coming off a loss to Veslasquez...Jesus Christ I have a headache. Please dear god do not let Roy Nelson or Kimbo fight Cain Velasquez for the Interim Championship.

I don't buy the intestinal thing. I still think it might be the liver cysts from steroid abuse.

THANK YOU Goog.
Now THAT was a good post!

Your thoughts and prayers will do nothing. If you want to actually help him, send him something, or invent a cure for whatever he has.

@ Goog

Agreed; I'd take this with a grain of salt.

Even if it does turn out to be as dire as this though, I hope he gets well soon. Love him or hate him, it sucks to think a bright a career as his to possibly end like this.

Keep in mind it was also reported that Fedor almost signed, Kimo was dead, and Rampage is funny.

Based on the quotes in the articles I have read is that Brock has an intestinal disorder that he has been hospitalized for and is currently taking antibiotics and may require surgery. I work in the gastrointestinal field and it sounds as if he may have diverticulitis. Diverticulitis happens when pouches (diverticula) form in the wall of the colon and then get inflamed or infected. Doctors aren't sure what causes diverticulitis. But they think that a low-fiber diet may play a role. Without fiber to add bulk to the stool, the colon has to work harder than normal to push the stool forward. The pressure from this may cause pouches to form in weak spots along the colon. Diverticulitis happens when bacteria get trapped in the pouches. This can lead to inflammation or infection.

First doctors try antibiotics, but if that is unsuccessful, or if there is a perforation or blockage, surgery would be required. How this would affect Brock is that weight-cutting affects the bodies ability to move solid waste out, increasing the probability he may have another occurence. Also, I don't think there are many MMA fighters with portions of their colon removed.

Again, I am just speculating, but some of the quotes lead me to believe this may be the cause.

Eat your fiber and drink plenty of water, dammit...

you know, not to say I told you so over something so serious, but remember when I said there was no way this was the swine flu because of the the symptoms? I hope he gets better, from what I hear from people other than DW and this site, he is damn lucky he is as strong as he is because this is gnarly...

Say what you will about him, he is a top tier fighter and we all pay to see him do his thing. I will probably never root for him, but I hope he recovers and jumps back into the cage.

Where to begin Brock lets see ...

That's what you get from drinking Coors.

That'll teach ya to never get on top of your wife!

Bud Light Poisoned You.

Kissing Kurt Angle was bound to catch up with you one day.

See, scientific proof that laying on top of & pounding another man is going to give you an intestinal disorder.

The list is endless.

^^ Yeah there haven't been any comments of the week for 2 weeks now but thanks for stopping by.

Im not a big fan of the guy, but I dont want to see anybody have their health and well being in danger.

:::a moment of silence before people jump in with more bad attempts at humor for the sake of a t-shirt at the expense of a dude who has a family and is in real bad shape:::

You have to throw dos santos into the mix.

As much as I hate Lesnars personality & charisma choices I'd be pretty fecking gutted if I never got to watch him in the Octagon again. I wanted to see if he really was the most dominant heavyweight in the world and it wasn't just hype and Im sure Im not the only person in the world (or on CP) thinking this!

The roadkill diet isnt paying off

I wonder if Carwin feels like a complete douche after the whole "I would never pull out of a fight no matter how sick I get!" Mr. Nice Guy...

Actually strike that... If he feels bad about it then he'll write a 3 page article about how fragile human life is and how humbled he is to be givin this gift during his short time on earth.


There both douche's but at least one guy knows he is.

Carwin vs. Cain back on?

Fuck, is this karma striking back at Lesnar for poor sportsmanship and sponsor bashing? I always found the guy entertaining, I hope he gets better.

Now, do they do an interim heavyweight champion and wait for Lesnar to decide if he'll fight ever again, or do they just strip him of the title now? Either way, Carwin Vs. Velasquez for the title, with the winner defending the title against the winner of Mir Vs. Kongo, make it happen DW.

Damn dude. Just because beef jerky sticks are a major sponsor doesn't mean they should be a major component of your diet.

First? Too bad I really wanted to see this fight.
