Ailing UFC champ Brock Lesnar gives health update Wednesday on ESPN

The Ultimate Fighting Championship will no longer host a planned press conference for the fighter, but UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar instead will appear on Wednesday’s edition of ESPN’s “SportsCenter” to give an update on his health status.

A UFC spokesperson today confirmed the media appearance with MMAjunkie.com, which is slated to begin at 11 a.m. ET.

Lesnar has been out of action since July due to an illness.
