		<description>That&#039;s really bad news.
I hope for Brock Lesnar&#039;s speedy recovery and
that he returns to the Octagon quicker than
most people anticipate.</description>

		<description>Glad to hear it, I anticipate his return to fighting form, I do have to wonder if this sickness, the weight loss, the lack of training ect, will cause a permanent loss in mass or muscle that could effect him size wise. 

It&#039;s no opinion but fact at this point that Brock has lost considerable mass since leaving the WWE and coming into legitimate sports. Without &#039;help&#039; I am wondering how long he can maintain 265-280lbs of muscle being as sick and without exercise for 3 months to 4 months.

I am sure he will still be powerful, but will it be more than enough to overcome guys like Carwin and Cain as in the past?</description>

		<description>Brock Lesnar&#039;s longtime friend and Jiu-Jitsu coach tells TMZ the hospitalized fighter WILL return to the Octagon -- and he guarantees Brock will return to battle condition in the next six months.

We spoke with Rodrigo &quot;Comprido&quot; Medeiros -- a 7-time World Jiu-Jitsu champ -- who tells us the reigning UFC heavyweight champ &quot;is getting better and that is the most important thing ... He will be fine and be fighting again within 6 months.&quot;

Medeiros adds, &quot;I can just say that the heavyweights can stop laughing and get ready to start crying because the champion will be back soon.&quot;

As we previously reported, Lesnar had been hospitalized due to a mysterious intestinal disorder. UFC president Dana White claimed the illness is so severe, Brock may never fight again.

So far, Brock has yet to release a comment himself.</description>

		<description>Yea, this totally changes everything. This is what I suspected and stated a while back. If he has a whole that is leaking stomach acid into his pleural cavity, he most likely could develop an extremely high fever and if not treated properly, could die.

To give you guys an example:

A friend of mine was not feeling well and went to the hospital with stomach pains. The radiologist mis-diagnosed her CT.  She goes home. Two days later, she is in the emergency room. The stomach acid causes infection, after several scans and tests, the rupture can not be found. She is put into an induced coma and starts battling for her life. The doctors give her a 5% chance of surviving. This battle goes on for 6 months. After all of the tests, treatments,tracheotomies, collapsed lungs, she survived. It has now been almost 2 years since all this happened and she still walks with a cane, copes with partial paralysis, etc.

They never found the leak and she still comes back every few months for surgery to repair the damage to her intestines. A total nightmare and life changing experience. 

It was mind-boggling how quickly her condition deterioratedin the first few days of the illness.

Good luck Brock...I hope you have the best medical care out there.</description>

		<description>Lesnar had surgery to help solve a bacterial infection in his intestinal tract that helped cause the postponement of Saturday’s fight against Shane Carwin and left his long-term future in doubt.

“The family was worried big time, they were freaking out,” White, the UFC president, said Wednesday. “Brock was in big pain, he was hurting.

“We don’t know if he’ll ever fight again.”

White cautioned that things could still go either way. He could fight. He could not. No one knows at this point. Lesnar was resting Wednesday at his home in Alexandria, Minn. and was scheduled to visit the famed Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. early next week for a battery of tests.

“He had a hole in his intestine,” White said. “The (stuff) was leaking into his stomach. That’s what was causing him so much pain. That and he had abscesses.

“The doctor told him he hasn’t been right for a year. His immune system has been trying to fight this thing and that’s why he was susceptible to getting sick.”

That likely explains Lesnar’s original diagnosis of mono. He had been weakened to the point that he was unable to train for the Carwin fight for much of October. That prompted the original delay in the fight. Then last week, the intestinal problem flamed up and Lesnar was hospitalized.

“We’ll find out more next week,” White said. “We’re going to send him to the Mayo Clinic for a couple of days. I don’t know what to say. It’s looking better now than last week, but what that means, I don’t know.”

White said no decision would be made on setting up an interim heavyweight championship until he knew how long Lesnar might be out.</description>

		<description>nah RJ i dont see any faking happening or sensationalizing by Dana.  

Look at Mitrone on TUF, guy might have a concussion, maybe not but hes definitely messed up to be dizzy and vomiting, etc..  Now the first thing everyone says is &quot;hes faking&quot; that really pisses me off because i know what its like to be sick.  If you have a big cut or abrasion on you people can see it and realize your injured.  The irony is that internal injuries are MUCH more severe than surface injuries or even broken bones and THOSE are the ones that people often consider to be faked.

Why would Mitrone decide to start faking a head injury? so he can make everyone watching the show think hes a btch? so he can eliminate himself from the competition after a win? so he can lose face and money for what?  because he doesnt want to train or something like that?? i SERIOUSLY doubt it.

Most people who call others out for faking usually havent experienced any health problems or havent had anyone close to them with problems.  They might even think that certain conditions are a myth and these people arent &quot;tough enough&quot; to walk it off.

Thats where the whole faking it thing stems from, ignorance.</description>

		<description>Amir, the ailments dont necessarily have to do with a persons lifestyle or their diet, everyone is just different.  For example, a friend of mine recently had really bad abdominal pain every time he ate.  He also had his appendix removed a few years earlier so it wasnt that, he figured it was some kind of ulcer or something.

Between trying to tough it out and being afraid of doctors he waited about 2 weeks before he went to the hospital.  They took some tests and it turned out that he had a bacterial infection and inflammation in his intestines.  So they gave him some medication for it while he waited for test results and further scheduled tests to happen.  He had a reaction to the medication which caused his kidneys and liver to begin shutting down so then switched medications and he couldnt eat for a few days because his organs couldnt filter it properly.

Turns out hes now diagnosed as having colitis, of the family of crohns disease.  He always ate good homemade food everyday, its just a matter of his genetics or something, it was inevitable.

My point is that Lesnar obviously has some problems, its not hype and theres nothing he can do about it.  The fact that hes that big and eats and processes so much food everyday (in my opinion) cant be normal for a human being.  He himself is not your average dude, but if he had an operation on his intestines, this is definitely a serious condition.</description>

		<description>but from what i understand it all started from him getting mono and not having it dealt with. i got mono once as a teen, and i got it from my buddies Mom! i sh*t you not! and here is how, my buddies Mom when to visit his brother and while she was there they shared some ice cream (same spoon) so he gave it to her, a few days later i drink from a coffee mug with a chip on the rim at his house, boom now i have mono, turns out a chip in a glass is a wonderful place for bacteria to hang out even if you thought it was clean. so getting a random illness, under random circumstances is possible. but i do know what your saying like a heroin addict getting HIV is not a big shock but a nun getting an STD is, and faking something to keep Brock from fighting for awhile could make a big &quot;comeback story&quot; sell lots of pay per views.</description>

		<description>I just don&#039;t see how any of this adds up. I totally can see some DW sensationalism here. I work in a hospital and basically it is obvious when someone strolls in if their diseases match their lifestyle choices.

For example, I&#039;m not suprised Pamela Anderson has Hepatitis.
I don&#039;t believe a straight arrow guy with a stick up his ass like Lesnar associates himself with unsavory characters (drug addicts, dealers, prostitutes etc.)

I also assume his diet is super strict and restrictive.

They do say that extreme over exercising can lower one&#039;s immune system and cause illness but that relates to colds and stuff NOT bacterial infections which are probably ingested.</description>

		<description>yeah there is always the chance that Dana noticed some people showed concern when Brock came down with an illness and couldnt fight so he came up with the idea of making Brock seem worse off so even more people would get on the get well soon wagon. BUT something like that could be ill advised because if its discovered to be a scam both Dana and Brock could end up being hated five times more then they are now.</description>
