UFC's Dana White: Decision on Brock Lesnar's Future This Week, Mir Versus Carwin For Title
By: Fighters.com Staff Posted On: January 1, 2010 at 3:08pm
UFC President Dana White told MMA Junkie Wednesday that a doctor’s visit next week will determine Fighters.com’s second-ranked heavyweight and UFC champion Brock Lesnar‘s (4-1) future.
Lesnar has been sidelined since October with what White reiterated is a “career-threatening” ailment. Lesnar had surgery to repair a perforated intestine, but White indicated that the surgery wasn’t the entire story of Lesnar’s illness.
White also insisted that Lesnar has been treated at the Mayo Clinic, though Lesnar’s camp denies the claim.
White expects an interim heavyweight title fight between third-ranked Frank Mir (13-4) and sixth-ranked Shane Carwin (10-0) to occur at UFC 111 in Newark March 27, but expressed the possibility that the fight be for the full title depending on the diagnosis after Lesnar’s medical examination next week.
