UFC president Dana White said, “he’s in rough shape, he’s in really bad shape.”

“He is not well and he is not getting any better. … He’s very, very sick and he’s going to be out for a while. He’s got a lot of problems.”

Lesnar, 32, was forced to postpone a fight against Shane Carwin that was scheduled for UFC 106 on Nov. 21 in Las Vegas. The fight at first was postponed until January 2, but now that has also been canceled.

“He’s got mono and he’s got something else wrong with him. I know what’s wrong with him, he just doesn’t want me talking about it,” White said. “He doesn’t have cancer or AIDS or anything like this, (but) he’s got some problems, man.”

Brock Lesnar, the 6-foot-3, 265-pounder was currently in a hospital but may need to go to another t op facility “to figure out what’s wrong with this guy.”

“He’s not going to be getting well any time soon,” he said.
