Brock Lesnar to require major surgery?

According to TMZ.com (quoting Dana White), Lesnar has an intestinal disorder that will require major surgery. Could this be the end of the Heavyweight champ?

Brock 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."

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

wow. Talk about the curse of Fedor. Since not signing him the ufc has had some serious problems with fighters dropping out.

They have been “not signing him” for a long time.

Why would White be telling this to TMZ and not Yahoo sports or something like that?

To get the word out to the general public, somebody who reads Yahoo Sports probably already knows about it.

An intestinal disease ruining an entire career? Weird. I wonder if he has Crohn’s Disease. Probably not. I also wonder if this ilness has to do with past steroid usage.
