Latest news from the
UFC, Lesnar is fighting fit and ready to get back into the Octagon.
Lesnar claims to have been not been feeling well for a long period of time prior to his diagnosis, citing flu-like symptoms. It wasn't until October, when on vacation, that Lesnar's condition worsened. Lesnar returned home with severe stomach pain and was diagnosed with diverticulitis. He refused surgery, as there was a chance that he would never be able to fight again. Lesnar chose to take time off and heal with a strict diet and rest, and after initially losing 40 pounds, he is now on the path of recovery, having regained 30 pounds and feeling strong again. He is training again and was quoted as saying "Let’s make it clear, I still am the UFC heavyweight champion." Lesnar said he is ready to take on anybody. It's likely that an opponent will be decided for Lesnar out of the fights in the near future between Carwin/Mir and Velasquez/Noguiera.
