(HMG)- As we previously reported, UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar had been hospitalized due to mono and a mysterious intestinal disorder. It was recently revealed that Lesnar has been dealing with his internal illness for a year, which caused UFC president Dana White to question Lesnar’s future as a fighter last weekend. White said on Thursday that Lesnar had a “hole in in intestine” that was causing a leak into his stomach, which caused pain for Lesnar. “The doctor told him he hasn’t been right for a year,” White said. “His immune system has been trying to fight this thing and that’s why he was susceptible to getting sick.”
But there is some more positive news now. The former WWE star is back home in Minnesota recuperating from surgery with a more positive prognosis for the future, according to his coach. “He’s at home now, much better than he was,” Lesnar’s coach Greg Nelson, head instructor at the Minnesota Mixed Martial Arts Academy, said Wednesday. According to a TMZ source, Lesnar will be ready to fight again within six months. But Nelson has cautioned there was “no definitive answer” yet whether Lesnar would require surgery in the future. The rumor now is that the UFC will have an interim heavyweight championship, and that match will probably involve Cain Velasquez and Shane Carwin.
