Sick Lesnar Moves Fight

         Brock Lesnar, the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s massive heavyweight titleholder, was forced to withdraw Monday from his highly anticipated Nov. 21 title defense in Las Vegas against Shane Carwin.

Carwin, via his Twitter feed, said the fight will be rescheduled for UFC 108 on Jan. 2. UFC president Dana White confirmed the news to Yahoo! Sports. White said Lesnar has been ill for more than three-and-a-half weeks and unable to train. With the bout at UFC 106 less than a month away, Lesnar was forced to postpone the title defense. “He said he’s never been this sick in his life,” White said. “He said it’s been going on for a long time and he just hasn’t been able to shake it.” Lesnar’s co-manager, Brian Stegeman, said he does not know whether Lesnar had H1N1, commonly known as swine flu, and that he is beyond the stage at which he could be tested for the virus. He said Lesnar had upper respiratory issues, fever and extreme fatigue. “Honestly, he’s been sick since the beginning of this camp and he’s had to take days off throughout,” Stegeman said.
        The fight matches two of the biggest and most powerful heavyweights in the UFC. Lesnar (4-1), a former World Wrestling Entertainment star, was a junior college and NCAA Division I wrestling champion. Carwin is a former Division II national wrestling champion. Both men weigh around 295 pounds and cut weight to make the heavyweight division’s 265-pound limit

I being a Brock Lesnar fan like the fact that he is taking time off to get healthy. It wouldnt be fair for him to loose training for his next fight if he isn't fit enough to train. It makes sense to postpone the fight so that the Champ is ready to go in January. Although I would like him to fight sooner
