From the Wrestling Online Network:
LESNAR BACK IN THE OCTAGON THIS SUMMER
- The current UFC Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar made his first TV
interview since falling ill towards the end of last year, appearing on ESPN
SportsCenter. Lesnar said that he was diagnosed with diverticulous - a hole
in the stomach - after he was originally diagnosed with mononucleosis.
Lesnar was put on medication as he didn't want to have surgery which would
have resulted in the end of his fighting career. However a second opinion
from the world-famous Mayo Clinic suggested that he should have his colon
removed, a surgery that he avoided the first time around. This month - after
losing a total of 40 pounds - Lesnar gained back 30 of those through hard
training in the gym and went back to see his doctors who couldn't find any
problems with his stomach anymore. The UFC champ, along with his doctors,
couldn't believe it so they scheduled another CT scan to confirm the
original findings with the results being negative again. Dana White, who was
also on the show, said that Lesnar will be back in the Octagon this Summer
to unify the Heavyweight belt again after Frank Mir and Shane Carwin will
battle out to see who will be crowned the interim champion.
