Brock Lesnar backs out





UFC just got rid of the Machida vs. Rua commercials and put out the Lesnar vs. Carwin commercials for UFC 106, but president Dana White came out to say that Lesnar will not be able to fight next month due to illness.

Apparently Lesnar has been sick for the last three weeks and hasn't been able to train.

White said that Lesnar told him he has never been as sick as he is now.

Shane Carwin expressed his disappointment through Twitter of course and said he feels Lesnar's pain as he had to battle the H1N1 virus himself. However, Lesnar has not been linked to H1N1 and the illness has yet to be reported.

The event was scheduled for Nov. 21 in Las Vegas and according to Carwin the fight will be postponed until Jan. 2

Hopefully we can kick off the new year right; watching two giant men beat each other to a bloody pulp.
