Brock Lesnar recently appeared on ‘The Fight Show’ with Maura Ranallo. Brock was there to promote his book, but also gave an update on his current medical battle.
MR: What is the plan for you, Brock? Are you scheduled to go to the doctor this week, I understand, or what’s the future hold for Brock Lesnar as a Mixed Martial Artist?
BL: Yeah, I’m very disappointed. This has not only mentally but this has been very physically strenuous on me, since my first bout with Diverticulitis in 2009. Having to back away from a fight is not something that I think anybody likes to do, surely me. The first time it happened to me and to fall under the same circumstances, I thought I had this thing beaten and I’m very disappointed but getting past that and understand that my health is very important. I got another doctor’s appointment on Thursday and a consultation where we’re going to go over and just try to figure out the best approach to try to handle this and it may be surgery and it may be not. We’re reviewing other options here to try to help me but, I want to get back into the Octagon sooner than later.
Also today in a press conference to promote this weekend’s UFC 128, UFC President was optimistic about Brock’s situation as well:
“I’m optimistic that Brock (Lesnar) will bounce back from this thing. Maybe by the first of the year.”
