    Holy Crap, Lesnar out of UFC 106! (back on for UFC 108)

    This is not a joke. As much as it would sound like one.

    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.

    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.”

    White said he does not believe Lesnar had the H1N1 virus, commonly known as swine flu.

    Dana goes out of his way to say it isn't swine flu, then Carwin spills the beans. LOL!

    "UFC Champ contracts Mad Sow Disease. "

    OK, I can see Dana not wanting to read that!

    UFC 106 is super weak now. I wonder if theyll throw in another fight to the card.
