Heavy.com spoke to sources inside Lesnar’s camp, who indicated that the heavyweight champion fell ill last week and not three weeks ago as originally reported. He is currently at the hospital undergoing blood work, but there is no indication if the virus is H1N1.
The MMA world was shocked when the UFC announced that Lesnar would not face Shane Carwin at November’s UFC 106, striking another nail into the coffin of an already troubled show. Carwin had been very public in his desire to face Brock, so it remains to be seen how the war of words between the two heavyweights will escalate.
