The UFC recently announced at a last minute press conference that Brock Lesnar would be withdrawing from his fight against Junior Dos Santos due to a recurrence of diverticulitis.

The fight which was scheduled for UFC 131 in Vancouver was meant to be Brock's come-back fight after losing his title to Cain Velasquez, and has been recently built-up in the Ultimate Fighter reality tv series where Brock and Junior are both coaches.

At this stage Brock said that he hopes to continue fighting but will not be making a decisions as he awaits results from the Mayo clinic. Junior Dos Santos will now face Shane Carwin in place of Brock.
