Former Delano-area resident Brock Lesnar hospitalized after collapsing in Canada

UFC heavyweight champion and former Golden Gopher Brock Lesnar is seriously ill in a hospital after collapsing in Canada, UFC president Dana White said Saturday, reported KARE 11. Lesnar is a former resident of the Delano area.

“He’s in rough shape, he’s in really bad shape,” White said Saturday after UFC 105, an Ultimate Fighting contest in Manchester, England.

Lesnar had a title fight scheduled for later this month, but was forced to cancel it, citing mononucleosis.  But now it appears, it may be something more.

“He’s got mono and he’s got something else wrong with him. I know what’s wrong with him, he just doesn’t want me talking about it,” White said. “He doesn’t have cancer or AIDS or anything like this, (but) he’s got some problems, man.”

White said Lesnar was currently in a hospital in North Dakota.

He went on to say, the 32-year old Lesnar may have to go to the Mayo Clinic or another top hospital “to figure out what’s wrong with this guy.”

Calls made to Lesnar’s agent have gone unreturned.
