Brock Lesnar backs out of Carwin fight due to illness

Quote:Looks like the MMA drama pot is getting a good stir, as already speculation has begun as to whether or not illness is the real reason behind Brock Lesnar withdrawing from UFC 106. Seems like the catalyst for such speculation is the fact that Lesnar appeared at the October 18th Vikings-Ravens game, where he did an interview and looked relatively fine. (He also blew a big *** horn- that’s not a sentence you see everyday…Wink Thanks to Cage Potato for the tip.

Now that alone shouldn’t be enough to say that the champ faked an illness to avoid fighting Shane Carwin on November 21st. Yahoo! Sport’s writer Kevin Iole, who broke the original illness story via Dana White, offered this “mail bag” response regarding Lesnar’s recent appearance.

His management insists he’s been very sick and his training partners have concurred. I asked Dana White and he said he hadn’t seen the video. He said Lesnar called him Monday, which is the first he found out about the illness, and said he couldn’t make it. White further said Lesnar told him he is not sure if he could fight in January. I asked if Lesnar sounded ill when they spoke and he said no. White said he had breakfast with Lesnar in Las Vegas about a month ago and said Lesnar told him at that time he wanted to fight frequently. Something doesn’t add up here and this bears further watching.

Now to be fair, if White had his dates mixed up, it’s more than conceivable that Lesnar returned from Vegas, became seriously ill for two or three weeks and opted to drop out. More to come?

Sounds like they're trying to make it look like hes scared.
