Lesnar -- Mayo Bound and May Never Fight Again

Posted Nov 16th 2009 12:05PM by TMZ Staff

Brock LesnarBrock Lesnar is so sick, he'll be going to the Mayo Clinic so doctors can figure out what to do -- but it will probably require major surgery ... UFC Prez Dana White tells TMZ.

White tells us Lesnar -- the UFC heavyweight champ -- is "very, very sick" with some sort of intestinal disorder, although listening to White, it sounds a lot more serious than that. White says the condition will require "major surgery."

White is going to visit Lesnar in the hospital and is trying to get him transferred to the Mayo Clinic, one of the most renowned medical facilities in the world.

White says Lesnar -- formerly of the WWE -- was diagnosed with mono more than a week ago and was "bummed out" that he had to cancel the fight and went to Canada to rest. White says Lesnar collapsed in Canada a week ago today and has been hospitalized ever since.

White acknowledges the current condition is not mono but he will not be specific. White says the condition is not HIV or cancer.

And, White tells TMZ, "There's a possibility Lesnar will never fight again."

7. I've heard a rumor that he has kidney failure due to years of steroid abuse, not sure if it's true but it would require major surgury. I really hope it's not that serious but it sounds like it is. I'm really hoping for a quick recovery, Brock is one of my fav fighters of all time. Love him or hate him, he's entertaining. Get Well Soon Brock.

8. He is in the hospital here where I live and if you ask a few people around here it has been leaked with what is going on with him. Very sad, hopefully he makes a speedy recovery

12. Dana White is a little gossip-hound. Why can't he just say "Brock is very sick and we're getting him the best medical care possible" instead of saying things like "it's very serious but not HIV or cancer. He may never fight again." The next time Dana acts like a professional will be the first.

15. He could have Crohn's or another intestinal disorder. When really severe, you often have most of your intestines and colon removed. It would be hard to fight with a permanent colostomy.
