The current UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar has been slowly recovering from a very delicate surgery to repair damage caused by intestinal diverticulitis. Lesnar’s last fight was against Frank Mir at UFC 100. The former 2000 NCAA heavyweight wrestling champion defeated Mir by way of TKO and acquired the UFC title for the very first time. He was scheduled to defend his title against Shane Carwin, but this is when doctors took him in for necessary surgery.
Lesnar has been slowly recovering and his trainers hinted a possible late return in 2010 if everything goes as planned. After taking another visit to the doctor’s office, Lesnar was given some news on whether or not he would be able to make an octagon return. On January 20th at 11am ET., ESPN’s SportsCenter will air a live interview with Lesnar as he reveals his current health conditions.
We’ll keep you guys posted, stay tuned…
