UFC News: Shane McMahon, Brock Lesnar’s Illness, Nogueira

November 15, 2009
By Brian Cantor

– Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira is suffering from a severe staph infection, and his scheduled number one contender’s match with fellow heavyweight Cain Velasquez will no longer take place on the January UFC 108 card. The match postponement is the latest in a long list of changes to the show; at least three planned main events have been dropped due to injury and illness.

– On the subject of postponement, UFC President Dana White confirmed at the UFC 105 press conference that Brock Lesnar will “not be getting well anytime soon.” According to F4WOnline.com, a recent series of tests revealed that Lesnar is suffering from an additional, unreported condition, and his ability to fight in the near future is in serious jeopardy. Plans have not yet been developed for addressing the state of Lesnar’s UFC Heavyweight Championship.

– Shane McMahon met with UFC officials last week; nothing has been disclosed on the meetings. When word broke that McMahon was leaving WWE, many assumed he was planning some sort of involvement in mixed martial arts, although working directly with UFC did not appear to be the most intuitive option since McMahon would be unable to purchase a significant chunk of the company on his own (and many assumed he would want to have an ownership stake in his latest business venture).

– According to F4WOnline.com, another “important name” also met with the company.

    Well, this is the word on the inside as far as Brock Lesnar goes. Brock Lesnar is suffering from a massive asshole infection. His asshole is almost completely destroyed because the infection went “unnoticed” for such a long time. I will supply updates when I get more info.

    UFC is the best although in all honesty I love watching the Ultimate Fighter more than the actual events, the most exiting fighter ever is either Pat Barry or maybe Anderson Silva.
