With Another Hard Fought Battle With a Disease On The Horizon, Is Brock Lesnar Done
Diverticulitis is no laughing matter. It can be a nasty illness and once you have it, it may never leave you. While some forms of the sickness are mild, Brock Lesnar has a very severe form. It is causing him to miss fights and ruining his MMA career.
It has caused Brock to delay his fights and even drop out of one. Whether you believe it or not, it is very hard on him emotionally and physically. Imagine being that big and unstoppable. Now imagine being told that you can’t do something you’re born to do. Brock has viking heritage and even if its a small amount, it is in his blood to fight.
I think that Lesnar will continue to fight through this disease and get back to a UFC title fight. I don’t think that he will ever beat Cain Velasquez, but I do feel that while he is around, he will always be in the top five heavyweights. Lesnar has speed and strength that many cannot match. He trains very hard and is always improving. Brock started completely raw and has managed to defeat some seriously talented fighters. He only has 7 fights under his belt and is 33 years old.
Rumors have surfaced that Lesnar is nearly done with his stint with the UFC, but I disagree. As a \matter of fact, he is just getting started.
