“I’m not sure exactly what it is he has, mono or whatever, but I know that he was sick and couldn’t get a good, hard workout in. There’s a big difference between making an appearance and smiling and waving at a football game and going out and doing what he has to do in his training.”

– Greg Nelson, the founder, owner and head coach at the Minnesota Martial Arts Academy in Minneapolis, Minn., tells Yahoo!Sports.com that his biggest fighter, UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar, is still not well. Lesnar was recently forced to withdraw from his upcoming title fight against number one contender, Shane Carwin, at UFC 106 on Nov. 21. It was a difficult decision that did not sit well with most fans, setting off a firestorm on conspiracy theories that Lesnar wasn’t really sick, but just preferred to fight on the blockbuster year-end show, UFC 108, which is scheduled for Jan. 2, 2010. Most of those Oliver Stones pointed to Lesnar’s appearance at a Minnesota Vikings football game as proof that his illness was hogwash. Nelson defends Lesnar, saying that he has been unable to train hard because of the mysterious malady. In fact, he even indicates that Lesnar still has not returned to full strength and that he may have to postpone his return until the Superbowl weekend event in early February.

I think he has pretendonitis.

He's ducking....Shane Carwin

he messed up his cycle and he is all messed up now....sick like this for 6 weeks. BULLLLLSHITTTTTTT

This isn't exactly bad news for the UFC. It moves from the Jan.2 card to the Super Bowl weekend card. I think it is possible that the UFC is trying to look at where they need this fight the most. Just a thought.

I was hoping Brock fought on the Jan. 2nd card but if he isnt 100 percent then dont fight we dont want another Nog thing where he is destroyed and says he shouldnt of fought.

I'd like to see Nog face Carwin instead on Jan. 2. I know Shane wants the title, but it's not as if he really deserved the title shot and Nog has just as much claim.

Lesner will lose his next fight. No way can he be 100 % after battling illness for months and months.

Well Wolf they are talking about him not fighting till March now so hopefully he is 100 percent by then.
