Rodrigo Nogueira was in the middle of giving an interview when he was told about Brock Lesnar suffering a recurrence of the stomach ailment diverticulitis and the new match of Shane Carwin against Junior Dos Santos at UFC 131.

Is Lesnar out? It this a lie? Are you speaking seriously!? Nogueira said when he found Lesnar wouldn’t face Dos Santos anymore. So this is the reason my coach was calling me all the time! (Nogueira was on a flight to Brasilia). I think the change is good and will help us in Cigano’s training. He was very much focused into boxing and a little without wrestling. The fight will be easier for him for sure.
