Brock Lesnar Hospitalized After Collapsing: Health Not Looking Good

The health of UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar has taken a turn for the worse. Lesnar collapsed last week while in Canada and was rushed to the hospital, according to UFC president Dana White at the UFC 105 post-fight press conference.

Lesnar's UFC 106 fight against Shane Carwin was postponed to UFC 108 on October 27th after it was announced Lesnar had contracted mononucleosis. UFC President Dana White told reporters at the press conference that the Lesnar/Carwin fight will be delayed again because Lesnar's health has not improved and the diagnosis is worse than originally reported.

"He's in a hospital up in North Dakota somewhere right now," said White. "He went to Canada and some bad stuff happened to him, so we've got to figure it out.

"He doesn't want to talk about it publicly, but he's in bad shape. He's not well and he's not going to be getting well anytime soon."

White said he promised Lesnar he would not reveal what he's suffering from, but said that Lesnar doesn't have cancer or AIDS.

Brock Lesnar is so sick, he'll be going to the Mayo Clinic so doctors can figure out what to do -- but it will probably require major surgery ... UFC Prez Dana White tells TMZ.

White tells us Lesnar -- the UFC heavyweight champ -- is "very, very sick" with some sort of intestinal disorder, although listening to White, it sounds a lot more serious than that. White says the condition will require "major surgery."

White is going to visit Lesnar in the hospital and is trying to get him transferred to the Mayo Clinic, one of the most renowned medical facilities in the world.

White says Lesnar -- formerly of the WWE -- was diagnosed with mono more than a week ago and was "bummed out" that he had to cancel the fight and went to Canada to rest. White says Lesnar collapsed in Canada a week ago today and has been hospitalized ever since.

White acknowledges the current condition is not mono but he will not be specific. White says the condition is not HIV or cancer.

And, White tells TMZ, "There's a possibility Lesnar will never fight again."
