Source: Despite threats, no one yet fired from Brock Lesnar’s camp

A week after UFC heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar blasted his team for
talking out of turn, a source close to the fighter told MMAjunkie.com that everything is still business as usual inside
the camp.

Upon announcing his octagon return this past Wednesday after a
life-threatening bout of diverticulosis, Lesnar (4-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC)
expressed dismay at the multiple health reports that trickled out in
the months following his battle with the intestinal disease.

“It’s been difficult when my own camp comes out and says things when
they’re not authorized to say anything,” Lesnar told reporters during
the special UFC teleconference. “It pissed me off.”
