UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar has been forced to withdraw from UFC 106 due to an illness he has been battling for the past few weeks. He was going to fight with Shane Carwin for the Heavyweight Title on November 21 at UFC 106.

From UFC President Dana White, courtesy of Yahoo Sports:

“He said he’s never been this sick in his life. He said it’s been going on for a long time and he just hasn’t been able to shake it.”

This is bad news for fans and UFC as well since Brock is one of the most famous fighters right now and that fight was going to be the highlight of UFC 106.

We wish Brock Lesnar good health and hope he will recover in a snap and be back in the cage to kick some more butt.
