The promotion announced it hopes to re-schedule the (Lesnar vs. Carwin) bout for early 2010. I also read that Ortiz vs. Griffin II headlines UFC 106 in place of Brock and Shane Edited by scsu_83, Oct 27 2009, 09:22 AM.

http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/White-No-Return-in-Sight-for-Ill-Lesnar-20949 Strange that the only news about Brock is coming from Dana White...However private a person Brock is, it seems odd to allow Dana to make a few cryptic comments as the complete body of evidence regarding Brock's health. |

Mono can cause your spleen to rupture. Rare but it does happen

Mono is also bad on your liver and if you get hit just the right way it can also rupture. It's definitly not something to take lightly as it can cause a lot of side affects on your health for years to come. I know when I had it I lost about 40lbs in a month. It totally disrupts your immune system and you can have relapses if you aren't careful. |

People die from Mono. It happens. I work in medical labs and I know of at least three people of the complications of mono while I was at work. The problem with Mono is that it can damage your liver pretty badly. Your liver is what makes the clotting enzymes so you can actually bleed to death, particularly if your spleen bursts. The reason your spleen bursts is because it's kind of a filtering system for the blood and it will try to get the excess lymphocytes out your body by filtering them out. Eventually, it will get too full and burst. I think the reason Dana seemed to be, being cryptic is that because HIV and Mono have very similar symptoms and he wanted to assure people that he does not have HIV. The "other" problem could be bursted spleen,hemolytic anemia, or carditis(swelling of the heart). Hemolytic anemia is a bad deal as well. Basically your red blood cells carry oxygen around your body. When you have hemolytic anemia your red cells are bursting and then they release their protein (hemoglobin) into the blood which can damage the kidneys. So, when you have a sevre case of mono, some very bad related issues can arise which is likely the case with Brock. |

Well, I've never heard of a liver bursting. The liver gernerally does not burst (it doesn't really store anything) but it can certainly be damaged. |

MANCHESTER, England -- Brock Lesnar will not be back in the UFC anytime soon, according to UFC President Dana White. Speaking with the media after UFC 105, White indicated the heavyweight champion is very ill and will be out of action for the foreseeable future. He went on to state that an interim title match might need to be set up. White did little to shed light on the specifics of Lesnar’s condition, but he did state that he has been hospitalized. “He’s in a hospital up in North Dakota somewhere right now,” said White. “He went to Canada and some bad stuff happened to him, so we’ve got to figure it out. “He doesn’t want to talk about it publically, but he’s in bad shape. He’s not well and he’s not going to be getting well anytime soon.” Lesnar pulled out of his Nov. 18 heavyweight title match with top contender Shane Carwin, and reports suggested he had swine flu. But when rumors began to circle about the rescheduled Jan. 2 date being in jeopardy, it was announced that Lesnar had mononucleosis and could be out even longer than originally thought. Now, after White’s comments, it is apparent that Lesnar is in more dire shape. He is not only suffering from mono but other ailments as well. “He has other problems too,” continued White, fielding a question about his diagnosis of mononucleosis. “He is not good. He is very, very sick and he’s going to be out for a while.” White went on to state that the UFC would be doing everything in their power to help Lesnar. “I am worried about it,” said White of his biggest star’s medical situation. “You know, I can’t really talk about it right now, but he’s in rough shape. He’s in really bad shape … and we’re going to have to do some stuff to take care of this guy. He is not well and he’s not getting any better. “We’re going to have to send him to the Mayo Clinic or to Scripps, or one of those really good hospitals to figure out what’s wrong with this guy.” I don't think anybody has let on what he has yet.. Could be H1, Mono, or who knows.. just take a knee for him and pray just a bit. |

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/diverticulitis/DS00070 Definition By Mayo Clinic staff Diverticulitis occurs when one or more diverticula in your digestive tract become inflamed or infected. Diverticula are small, bulging pouches that can form anywhere in your digestive system, including your esophagus, stomach and small intestine. However, they're most commonly found in the large intestine. Diverticula are common, especially after age 40. When you have diverticula, the condition is known as diverticulosis. You may never even know you have these pouches because they seldom cause any problems, such as diverticulitis. Sometimes, however, diverticulitis occurs, causing severe abdominal pain, fever, nausea and a marked change in your bowel habits. Mild cases of diverticulitis can be treated with rest, changes in your diet and antibiotics. But serious cases of diverticulitis may require surgery. Treatment Options Mild cases of diverticulitis can be treated with changes in diet, rest and antibiotics. But recurring diverticulitis and more serious cases may require surgery to remove the diseased portion of the colon. Read more about diverticulitis treatment options.

Yeah, that's not good. My mother had to have a section of her colon removed due to cancer and it takes quite a while to recover from that. Not to mention there are quite a few things that can go wrong. My mom lost a ton of weight when she was recovering from her surgery. The good news is that from what I'm told this is a curable disease. The bad news is that it can get more serious and may require surgery that has some really bad effects on the body. Obviously, getting Brock in good health is the #1 concern but this is a heavy blow for his MMA career. For the average Joe such a surgery would have you back at work within a month but the amount of weight/muscle that Brock would likely lose due to the illness and restricted diet during the recovery time would be pretty significant. It's just at matter of not being able to process the amount of nutrients needed to maintain his type of build. It may be a year or more for him to get back in the octagon and perhaps longer to break off the rust. |

Haven't seen much about Lesnar in the news or on Sportscenter lately. How close are we to an interim heavyweight belt? |

http://www.fightline.com/news/mma/2009/1212/468908/brock-lesnar/index.shtml UFC president Dana White told Fanhouse at the pre-fight press conference for UFC 107 that heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar’s fighting future depends on whether or not his illness requires major surgery. “The doctors know what he has but it’s just a question of whether Brock will need major surgery or not," said White. "It’s something we’ll find out in a couple of months.” The heavyweight behemoth was first inflicted with “mono” months back only later to find out he was also suffering from a serious intestinal disease called diverticulitis. The common digestive disease has not only inflamed pouches in Lesnar’s large intestine but it has also derailed all his past attempts to defend the title against number one contender Shane Carwin. When Brock will actual get an opportunity to make his first title defense is unknown and has been put on hiatus indefinitely after the fighter had to pull out of a rescheduled bout with Carwin, a fight that was set to headline UFC 108 in January. Brock Lesnar’s absence has many fans speculating on how the UFC will handle his champion status in the heavyweight ranks. It has been rumored the situation has forced the organization to consider creating an interim heavyweight belt, an alternative to completely stripping the Minnesota native of the title all together. In the interview Dana White explained the onset of the illness by saying, “It just hit him. He started feeling sick and thought it was the flu. He went to the hospital to find out that none of the doctors knew what was wrong with him. Afterward, Brock’s brother suggested a trip up to Canada to get away. While there Brock just dropped, literally dropped. Canada is where it all started.” Despite the uncertain set-backs, the champ has been in high spirits staying confident about his eventual return to the octagon according to White. When asked what Lesnar talks about during their exchanges, Dana said, “He’s been talking about getting better and fighting. He’s very confident about getting back in there. Listen, he is in a lot better place now than he was at the hospital.” |
