UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar has decided to withdraw from his UFC 106 bout.

UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar has removed himself from his previously scheduled UFC 106 title fight versus top contender Shane Carwin as reported by Yahoo’s Kevin Iole.

Lesnar has been suffering from an unknown illness for the last several weeks that has not allowed him to continue his camp.

According to the report, UFC President Dana White spoke to Lesnar regarding the situation.

“He said he’s never been this sick in his life,” White said. “He said it’s been going on for a long time and he just hasn’t been able to shake it.”

White said he does not believe Lesnar had the H1N1 virus, commonly known as swine flu.

The UFC has announced that Tito Ortiz’s long awaited return to the octagon versus the people’s champ Forrest Griffin will now headline UFC 106 as the main event.

    How about Velasquez vs. Big Nog gets the winner of Lesnar vs. Carwin? I like Nog in that fight, Velasquez’s punches are just hard enough not to finish Nog hahaha. Seriously though, Nog would have his nads full with Cain, but at this point in Cain’s career I think he’s due for a reality check at the hands of a living legend like Minotauro.

    Carwin’s gotta be fuming right now,whoever they put in front of him (If they do!) He’ll walk through ayone at the moment. You get that pumped for a title fight (Any fight actually!) And then the guy pulls out (A guy you wanna put your fist through his face!) I had it once when I kickboxed,a guy pulled out due to an injuury,yeah it aint his fault but I was fucking going mad!!!

    Yeah agreen Dirty, no one is on here anymore. Good talking
