UFC President: Lesnar Has Intestinal Disorder

(WCCO) He made his reputation as a big, bad, unstoppable athlete but Ultimate Fighting Champion Brock Lesnar is very sick.

The former University of Minnesota wrestling champion, and pro-wrestler, is hospitalized with a mystery illness.

Ultimate Fighting President Dana White said Lesnar has an intestinal disorder that requires major surgery, possibly at the Mayo Clinic.

A source told WCCO that Lesnar has a severe case of diverticulitis, a disease where small pouches form in the digestive system.

Lesnar announced in October he was withdrawing from his upcoming title defense match due to an unspecified illness. That match, originally scheduled for Nov. 21, was pushed back to January.
