Dana White Identifies UFC Champ Brock Lesnar’s Illness

The mystery is at least partially solved, as UFC President Dana White finally identified the source of Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar’s severe health issues.

White confirmed to the Associated Press that Lesnar is suffering from a bacterial infection of the intestines.

That ailment follows his previously-reported struggle with mononucleosis. Lesnar, according to White, is recovering from the bacterial infection although had not been released from the hospital at press time.

With Lesnar’s recovery timeframe still unclear, White is reportedly encouraging his promotion’s star champion to receive further treatment at the Mayo Clinic.

F4WOnline.com added that in addition to the intestinal issue and mono, “there are other things wrong with him as well.”

Brock Lesnar has not issued a formal statement on his latest health situation.
