November 17, 200916 yr Really sucks, hope he's able to pull through this and that it's not something that will effect him for the rest of his life.

November 17, 200916 yr Ironically, my ex-wife called as I was reading this. She said sepsis develops when you have an infection in your body that goes untreated for a long time. It gets in your bloodstream, and spreads to your organs, shutting them down. Once you have it, it's always there and can come back anytime.
November 17, 200916 yr No link, just what I was told by a guy who trains at Miletich Fighting Systems........ Its also all over Sherdog, but I will not link there..... Sherdog is awful.
November 18, 200916 yr Sounds like another monster from the NFL, Tony Mandarich. I believe he went on a hunting trip in Canada and came back with some crazy illness that made him semi retire. I hate to hear this since he seemed to have a promising career going in the UFC. Even if he never fights again I hope he get's healthy, he should have enough money to get by for a while.
November 18, 200916 yr Sherdog is awful. I can't totally disagree with you.....BUT if you can get through the junk there is good info on there and a lot of pro fighters post there..................
November 18, 200916 yr Author Here's the latest that I could find: http://www.tsn.ca/mma/story/?id=298811 Brock Lesnar was released from a hospital in Bismarck North Dakota and will recover from a bacterial infection at his home. Lesnar's friend and chiropractor Larry Novotny told the Associated Press late Thursday that Lesnar was home and would not be making any decisions about his career until his health improved. Novotny's claim was backed up by UFC president Dana White on his twitter account. "Leaving Bismarck, N.D., right now. Brock had minor surgery and is feeling better," White wrote. "Not 100 per cent sure he is out of the woods but feeling better." While Lesnar and the UFC have not commented on the specifics of his infection or surgery, WCCO-TV in Minneapolis is reporting that Lesnar had a severe case of diverticulitis, which is a common digestive disease that causes small pouches to form in the digestive system. Surgery for the condition could become necessary when there is concern that the infection could spread and cause a potentially fatal inflammation. Lesnar originally was supposed to fight Shane Carwin on November 21 for the title, but that fight was cancelled at the time because Lesnar had mono. The UFC were planning on staging the fight at UFC 108 in January, but with Lesnar's illness the fight has obviously been cancelled. White told the Associated Press on Monday that Lesnar wanted to thank his fans for their support. Later.
November 20, 200916 yr Author Hole In His Intestine - Future In Jeopardy On His Current Status: "The family was worried big time, they were freaking out. We don't know if he'll ever fight again." On What They Found: "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." On Brock's Future: "If he's done what he's done at less than 100 percent, then imagine how he'll be if he is 100 percent." Read more here. Later.
