"My next fight is up in the air a little bit right now. I could probably come back in February but my little girl is going to be born in February and I don’t want to miss that. It’s been an extremely long camp. I started in July to fight Cain (Velasquez) and then I got the call to fight Brock (Lesnar). I get prepared for UFC 106 then that’s off. Then UFC 108 came and then it was off a week or two later. It’s been up and down. All we can hope is Brock can get better. He’s definitely in our prayers. I would assume another fight will come first. I don’t know what’s out there just yet but I assume [a Velasquez fight] will happen if Brock can’t compete. I want to fight the best and challenge myself. Right now Brock holds the title. To be the champ, you gotta beat the champ. It’s a fight I’m still excited for but at the same time there’s a lot of heavyweights that are just as tough and on the same level. It’s an exciting division. Whoever you get in the UFC is a tough fight and that’s what I expect going forward, just a hard fought battle every time out."
-- UFC heavyweight number one contender Shane Carwin faces an uncertain future after division champion Brock Lesnar succumbed to an intestinal illness that as of now, will keep him from fighting indefinitely. "The Engineer" may eventually end up facing former UFC 104 opponent Cain Velasquez after the AKA product was left stranded at UFC 108 by Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, who was recently stricken with Staph infection. The question now is what the UFC plans to do with Lesnar's title in his absence. An Interim title seems likely, but as of now, fans join Shane Carwin in a wait-and-see approach to the future of the heavyweight division in 2010.

Finally...
A relatively short statement and some humility. I’m glad the anus on his face is closed at least for the moment.
The one and only Smitty...
Pretty simple solution to this problem...
Cain vs Carwin for the iterim title…I’m not a fan at all of iterim belts but in this case it’s unavoidable.
This is the first time Shane has come off as decent person. I figured he’d still be calling out Brock for faking a hole in his intestines.
"Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, you'll be a mile from them, and you'll have their shoes."
Mir needs to be mentioned cuz...
Mir has 2 top 10 wins over Brock and Nog…Nog is the only other fighter with a top 10 win when he beat Randy out of the top 10 rankings. So Mirr and Big Nog for the interim and Cain and Carwin for the #1 spot…
blah this sucks
Man I just don’t kno what to make of all this. I’m a Brock hater but this isn’t a win for me. Gotta see who can beat Brock to get joy out of it. Or h8 him more for winning. Either way this doesn’t help. Hope he pulls thru cause his fights are entertaining.
Shane needs to compete fast. Its gotta be exhausting on the big men training as long as he has been only for Cain to get scrapped then Brock 2x now who knows!
Let’s make something happen and soon. UFC needs guys like this on cards anyways.

ahaha
i agree daniel. Brock needs to fight so I can see him lose and be happy or hate him for winning. lol
"All we can hope is Brock can get better. He’s definitely in our prayers...."
so I can shut him up and give the fans the respect they deserve. because what he did after his fight with Frank Mir was………………….
dude.....i am
it was bad but..
Frank Mir has been known to be a dick in the past. Very cocky himself. Brock is just new to this and will learn from that mistake.
What a dick
What a dick Carwin is for praying for Brock.
Over / Under on how long it takes before Brock’s steroid use is public knowledge…….6 months. Who’s in?
You kept making all the stops?
Well people kept ringing the bell !!!!!!
I don’t know why I continue to argue with you, but Brock has been tested rigorously over the last 15 years or so. He has NEVER failed a test. Just because he is bigger and stronger than anything you can comprehend does not mean he uses roids.
I'm kind of a big deal.
So what !!!!
Body builders get tested before every show too….and they pass. All of those guys are juicing.
Brock fans use the reasoning that he was bigger during his WWE days than he is now, so if he was roiding back then he isn’t now. For me, the fact that he isn’t as big now is just the difference between not having to ever cycle off back then and having to cycle off now before testing.
Do you think it’s a coincidence that this medical problem he is having now has been proven to happen to others because of frequent steroid abuse? If you haven’t read any medical experts comment on this issue…you should, because this intestinal problem that he had has been known to manifest in people who use certain steroids, because the steroids in their system mask the early symptoms of the intestinal problem until it becomes a bigger problem. Sound familiar?
I wish Brock well, and hope he recovers and resumes his career.
Having said that….I’ve been saying that I think he is roiding, and I stand behind my statements even more now, because this is not a coincidence.
The truth always comes out eventually…….and it will.
You kept making all the stops?
Well people kept ringing the bell !!!!!!
You know who else thinks like you?
Dick Cheney. Does the infamous phrase “Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence” ring a bell? And I can only guess what a big fan of Dick Cheney you are.
I'm kind of a big deal.
pw
You gotta learn to ignore the trolls. I am having a much better time on this site just ignoring everything Intotard and Daniel Worby say. He is just looking for a response to his negativity. He gets off on it.
Wanna bet?
You guys want to put your money where your mouth is?
I say that Brock Lesnar’s steroid abuse will be public knowledge within the next 2 years.
What is going to be the best part is when Brock writes his autobiography (like everyone seems to be doing now) and details all of his abuse………..you guys are going to shake your heads in disgust because of your failure to see the obvious.
You kept making all the stops?
Well people kept ringing the bell !!!!!!
He did steroids for a tv drama
He was on steroids back in his wrestling days. Big deal. He wasn’t using them to get an edge on his competition. I’ve never said he wasn’t a juicer back in his entertainment days. He stopped using them a couple years ago, looking at pictures prooves this. Are you mad about his steroid use during his WWE days or are you saying he is still using?
Picture prove nothing.
Like I’ve stated….his difference in physique would be just as noticeable if he changed from juicing 365 days a year in his wrestling days, to cycling on and off every 3 months or so. The change in his pattern would result in physical changes.
As for the “he did it for tv drama” theory. I suppose Any Pettite and Roger Clemens were juicing to bulk up their appearances for television too, huh?
The fact that MMA fans are so naive to think that all of their heros don’t do roids “because they wouldn’t help in MMA” is just plain retarded. Just like a pitcher in baseball does it to gain .5 mph on their fastball, an MMA fighter would do it to gain 5 lbs per square inch with a punch. .5 mph on a fast ball could be the difference between giving up a home run, or striking out that last batter to win the World Series……an extra 5 lbs per square inch with a punch could be the difference between losing a title fight, or knocking Randy Couture out.
Don’t be so naive.
You kept making all the stops?
Well people kept ringing the bell !!!!!!
He juiced for WWE
I don’t see why you have a problem with that. He was taking steroids like everyone else there. It isn’t a real sport. He was doing it to make himself more marketable to Vince McMahon. It isn’t a sport, Intro. But hey if you want to keep making baseless assumptions with absolutley no proof, that’s cool. I can’t believe you are angry that some people base their views on actual proof and not what some dude on Mania believes.
To each his own
Hypothetically speaking….if (and when) Brock, or someone associated with him (ala Clemens’ trainer) finally spills the beans….what will you say? Will you still be in denial?
You kept making all the stops?
Well people kept ringing the bell !!!!!!
you say
Everyone in MMA does steroids, so Brock is just trying to level out the playing field anyway.
Never said that
So, that’s your rebutal? To say I said shit that I didn’t?
Meh
You kept making all the stops?
Well people kept ringing the bell !!!!!!
what an idiot statement!
lets make a bet for 2 years from now. LMAO! who does this? 2 years from now he ufc will be on network and will be the true major leagues of mma (like they already are) and haters like buttvert wont even be around due to shame.
wtf?
Wtf did I say jay? You can wah wah it up all u want. This thread has no accusations from me at all. In fact I was very polite on voicing my opinion on how I don’t want Brock gone this way. I’d rather see him beat than sick.
Not surprising u found a way to take this and spin me into it. Weird obsession buddy.
Ps you should look up what a troll is ya putz. I comment on here with valid debates just as much as u. Only difference is I don’t need a team of lackies agreeing with me to do so.
Hope p dub sticks up for u cause u jumped in on a convo that me nor u were in on.
Now I hope even more they do find out he juices.
Ps its clearly obvious he used to un wwe. But I have no other idea for sure if he did anywhere else. Vince probs wouldn’t even deny it. Watch off the record with Michael Landsberg. Any retired wwe star gets asked that and they always say yes. Bret hart included.

Dick?
Not sure who he is, but I think I recall him shooting someone in the face…..that the same guy?
Anyway…..when Brock is called out one day (Roger Clemens style), and he will be, and 99% of the general public know damn well he’s guilty as sin…….you will be in the 1% that believes Brock. No sense arguing with someone who is in that 1%.
If Brock were in any other sport than MMA…..every single person on this website would be looking at his history, his illness, his demeanor, his attitude, and his elusive persona…..and calling him a roider….gauranteed!!!!!
You kept making all the stops?
Well people kept ringing the bell !!!!!!
hmm? Intro
Fedor shows more signs of steroid use intro whatare you talking about balding, pudgy belly, acme, good friends with Barnett. I could go on and on but it’s just as naive to state Brock does them as it is Fedor.
Hahahaha
Fedor didn’t work for Vince McMahan……nor is he suffering from a medical issue that can be linked to steroid abuse.
You kept making all the stops?
Well people kept ringing the bell !!!!!!
lol acme
Nor did he get an anvil dropped on his head from Wiley coyote.
acne buddy. Not acme.

lets not forget
that fedor’s protoge and namesake “baby fedor” got popped too,and is built like fedor and fedor considered him like a brother. nasal spray my ass! then his very good friend barnett gets popped for a 2nd time and is scum. fedor runs with roiders and lies in bed with scumbags like finkie and millen and intotard want’s to bash brock? jelousy at it’s finest.
Now He's In Your Prayers????
Egg on your face, eating some crow, what ever it is Carwins got to be doing it!!!
UFC 109
Carwin/Velasquez 109. Make it happen UFC. Please save my superbowl card. It’s looking pretty ugly.
carwin is full of it.
and so are you guys who claim he was jiucing. if he is, then he is the best in the world at it because he is tested all the time. his change in appearance can be from the fact that he doesn’t lift wieghts everyday like he used to in the wwe. now, he probably onlt trains hard for a few months out of the year.

Naive
Body builders all juice and cycle off to pass their tests.
If they can get away with it….anyone can.
If Brock were a football player every person on this site would be calling him a juicer, but he’s an MMA fighter…..so everyone here feels some sort of obligation to back him up.
I don’t get it.
You kept making all the stops?
Well people kept ringing the bell !!!!!!
Read my last post
The post regarding why an “athlete” would do it.
You kept making all the stops?
Well people kept ringing the bell !!!!!!
That is..
Athletes are bound to get caught you think after all the tests he has takin and he takin many more than a guy like Barnett or Fedor fighting in China my friend with all the guys Fedor has been around like his friend barnett and over their with Overeem it’s more likely he takes them than Brock LOL.
Right
…..any association with Vince McMahan trumps any association with Barnett.
You kept making all the stops?
Well people kept ringing the bell !!!!!!
Thats your evidence LOL case closed because intro has hard evidence..
I think being friends with Barnett is more likely LOL
intro your an idiot
Brock was on human gowth hormones when he was the WWE they were not illigal at the time and brock was caught with them and they thought to be steroids later proven to be a legal growth hormone. The man has been working out like a mothe^r fu%ker from the age of 16 even when he was in the WWE he had insane work out programs as he also had dreams of being in the NFL. the man takes supplements and all kinds of sh^t probally but he plays with in the rules.

Makes as much sense as intros case thats all brendog I don't think either are...
just making a point to intro.
i don't think Brocks on Roids and I dont think Sherk took roids either.
thers just somethin in that Minnesotan water
dude.....i am
Look at the facts!!!!!
The guy has millions and millions and millions of dollars. He had a huge fight coming up. He had every reason, and resource imaginable to go to the doctor with the slightest bit of a tummy ache!!!!! It’s been months of speculation as to what he had wrong with him, and even with EVERY REASON IN THE WORLD to come out and let everyone know what he had wrong with him….HE COVERED IT UP!!!!!!!!
The US has a private health care system, and this guy is at the top of the food chain…..he could literally walk passed pregnant women and dying children at a hospital to get treated!!!!!!! But yet…….he didn’t? Even with every resource at his fingertips, and every reason under the sun to do it? Huge fight……millions of dollars at stake?….Dana breathing down his neck?…….fans asking WTF is going on?…….an yet he did everything he could do to keep this a secret!!!!!!
You guys need to wake up and smell the coffee. There is NO WAY IN HELL this guy didn’t know what was wrong with him, and why it happened.
You kept making all the stops?
Well people kept ringing the bell !!!!!!
Those are not facts those....
are you hoping your man won’t face Brock because you were sh^tting yourself when your hero was thought to be coming to the UFC and realized he would most likely lose. Keep dreaming intro Brock will be back to kick some ass and if your man grows any balls you will crying.
Make up your mind Intro
Brock is a big stupid meathead, but he’s smart enough to beat dozens of steroid tests over almost two decades. Brock is an idiot jock bully, but he’s smart enough to self-diagnose a rare intestinal bacterial infection.
I'm kind of a big deal.
dana white cud make anything happen! Brock cud juice all he wants & dana will let him get away with it so cud brock cud hav an edge & claim 2 be the best fighter!
Here are some facts not made up and why he thought he had the flu
Most people who have diverticulosis have few or no symptoms. When patients go in for tests for other types of intestinal problems, diverticulosis is incidentally discovered. About 20 percent of the people affected with diverticulosis develop the symptoms associated with it. Bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal cramping are some of the most common signs of diverticular disease. These symptoms are linked with the difficulty in passing stool through the left colon, caused by diverticular disease.
Right
And every single one of those symptoms that you listed have been known to be disguised up by steroid usage.
Read the medical reports on it.
You kept making all the stops?
Well people kept ringing the bell !!!!!!
introfart
i DID read them and you are a 2 faced liar! nonthing he has links him to roids. he tried to train through mono, that’s what caused. post a link to these so called medical reports that you just fabricated. just b/cc some brock hater on another site said this doesn’t make it so.
move on
Only FACT is that neither intro nor pdub nor puck head nor I have any real proof he didn’t or did. U can say he was tested. Intro will say he cycled off. U can say whatever u want dub. Intro has a question for all of em.
Neither of u are riiight. Neither is wrong. Ur both speculating and until we know we’ll just have to sit back & argue I guess.
The world is a crooked place. Especially when there’s a lot of money involved. I just don’t put ANY ideas to extinction cause u never kno. I’m not picking sides. But I wouldn’t be surprised.
Life goes on & mma fighters fight again after their roids too. Ppl forget. And forgive. Mlb shows this as well. We’ll all hold grudges to the ones we don’t like. The others that like them will forgive.
Whaaaaatever
