Brock Lesnar's fighting future to be revealed next week via press conference

UFC President Dana White has revealed that both he UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar will hold a joint press conference next week in Las Vegas to discuss Brock's future as a mixed-martial-artist.
White confirmed the news to MMAfighting.com recently on a trip to New York, refusing to elaborate on the nature of the press conference, only saying Lesnar’s future would be out in the open. Confusing yet very positive reports have surfaced recently with Randy Couture revealing previous conversations with the champ and that he's already back in training and may be fighting by spring.
Lesnar required surgery to repair damage inflicted by intestinal diverticulitis. The promotion recently announced that number one contender Shane Carwin will battle former champion Frank Mir at UFC 111 in his absence and we may finally know by the end of next week if that bout will be contested for an interim title or the true title (if the Minnesotan is forced to surrender the belt in anticipation of a long or permanent absence).
In a perfect world, Lesnar would get fully cleared by his doctor and make his return in Boston on August 28 against the winner of Mir vs. Carwin or Nogueira vs. Velasquez.
Personally, I don't know what to think of this but I'm starting to assume the worst. For some reason I feel a press conference is going to be for Brock to announce his retirement or give up his belt. I guess maybe this could be a publicity move to make it more dramatic for his return, but I've seen so many athletes give press conferences that were designed to announce their retirement.
I'm going to think the worst but pray for the best and hopefully we'll know more next week.
Anyone else care to speculate?

Whatever Dana says-times it by three
He said he’d have a network deal in a year-make it three years.
Same old, Same old for Dana.

-Ken Shamrock
His skin..
His skin is so scandinavian that you can almost see through him. He is almost clear.
My guess is that the doctors won’t clear him because of his flat top.
All joking aside…I am guessing that the delay paired with the gag order on Dana means that they are having a marketing team write his farewell. Tear.

"Records mean nothing when ranking a fighter" by jay. on Jan 9, 2010 12:57 PM PST Really? Wins and losses don't matter?
Belt up for grabs.....
Mir and Carwin will be fighting for the belt, winner of Cain/Nog gets first shot, if Dos Santos beats Gabe, he gets the next shot. Lesnar is done, and will insist his illness has nothing to do with prior steroid use.
There is no pryor steriod use cole
The illness has nothing to do with roids anybody that has read up on it knows this and doctors have even stated this.

There’s obviously no conclusive evidence like a positive blood test of his past steriod use, but I think he probably did do them in the WWE.
If someone told you that your life depended on correctly guessing whether or not Brock has done steriods at any point in his life, almost everyone would say he has.
"Matt Hughes and his brother used to pound each other out behind the barn."
-The legendary Mike Goldberg
I think he did it in the WWE
But I don’t care. He wasn’t competing back then. He used them to put pretty muscles on for Vince. It was the only way he could make a pay check. If he’d used them to get a competitive edge I would care, but he was fake wrestling. Who cares?
"He#s the WWE champ and with out a doubt should be ranked higher than any other man in the UFC. "-Puck Head, LOL.
If there weren't so many deaths in pro wrestling then I wouldn't care either
However because of McMahon’s obsession with roided up monsters there has been an obscene number of former wrestlers dying under 50 and it sickens me that nobody is regulating that drug fuelled industry (WWE can’t be trusted to do it themselves as the Benoit and Signature Pharmacy fiascos prove). Almost everyone in WWE is on some sort of drug and it’s criminal that it’s been allowed to happen for so long all because wrestling is “sports entertainment”. Brock was lucky to get out as quickly as he did.

Agree David
But WWE is not my concern, let them all kill themselves for all I care.
"He#s the WWE champ and with out a doubt should be ranked higher than any other man in the UFC. "-Puck Head, LOL.
to be fair
there has been testing and suspensions for roids in WWE (Mysterio, edge more recently)
Not that it isnt a problem, and not that its theyre main concern, just playin devils advocate.
And althoughits fake fighting WWE is very taxing on the body due to the stunts and what not, steroids help with faster recovery from injuries. Whichb is a big reason for the use in WWE. Also the rockstar lifestyle that they live is taxing mentally and physically which results in a lot of the deaths and drug use and overdoses for some of the wrestlers.
dude.....i am
Edge was only suspended when his name came up in the Signature Pharmacy investigation, WWE had to suspend everyone involved in that despite them all "passing" their in-house drug tests
I agree that the ridiculous schedule is making the drug use worse. Most of the recent deaths have been through overdoses on pain pills rather than steroids as they’re forced to wrestle all over the country about 3 or 4 times a week and don’t get paid if they’re injured (unless they’re a main eventer). It’s a very dangerous lifestyle.

There was a good article on Junkie
The resident doc on that site said this disease has nothing to do with steroids. This has nothing to do with juice, but that’s not to say he hasn’t done them. This just isn’t a smoking gun, so to speak.

Optimism is definitaly not one of your strong points...
Let me ask this, has the UFC ever held a press conference that didn’t revolve around “good news”?
Same here Puck
I wouldn’t be surprised if this is to announce his retirement but I hope that he’s been given the all clear to return to the sport. He had a very serious illness and if Brock can recover and get back to his best then he’s proven how tough and dedicated he really is.

enough!
enough of this PT Barnum crap the whole division is on hold, lets have it ! this has gone on far too long for it to even be taken seriously it is a page out of the McMahon book. He will be back end of story!! Doesn’t Dana get enough attention does he really need more! Try to be more like Lorenzo!
Yep
Couldn’t have said it any better myself. Lesnar hasn’t even made a big deal out of it and neither has his camp. Meanwhile, Dana just won’t shut it for five minutes. “OMG HE COULD DIE!!!!111” Seriously, chill out, Dana. Had to be said. lol.
you guys make me laugh
Brock doesn’t say anything, he’s private, doesn’t even have a computer and doesn’t think it’s ur business how his health is. Dude had a whole in his intestine and it was leaking into his body. I personally am not a fan and don’t care what happens to him, but I think u guys r a bit harsh
leonb108..
How is the whole division on hold? Nobody is waiting for Brock. He’s only been out since July. If Dana was more like Lorenzo we would never know anything. When was the last time Lorenzo said anything on camera?

I’ve never met a smart Leon before.

this "whole" series of posts has me very upset...

Technically...
His post was the second reply to Kev’s post, right under under Jay’s. Check the indentation, it’s on the same level. That’s how this “whole” thing works. Heh, get it? No? Okay. I don’t really have any association with leon, just saw he was being unfairly prosecuted here. Carry on.
Popping up out of nowhere to cast aspersions on someone’s intelligence for misspelling something on a blog is the dictionary definition of being a pole-smoking douche-nozzle. Any persecution was entirely justified. and that’s persecution, not prosecution. Oh shit, now I just did it.
The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful
Sounds like next week everything will get worked out
It may be as easy as He’s done and the winner of Mir and Carwin will be the new Champion and have to face the winner of NOG and Cain with JDS waiting for the next opportunity. It may be as easy as he will be back in spring and will face JDS. Dana also stated "I don’t know if it’s good news or bad news, it’s just news," White coyly stated. By the sounds of everything Brock and his management want to make the announcement for whatever reason we will find out next week.

And say some funny shit again after he wins.
@fjbar on twitter...formerly El Mexicutioner
Maybe the week Dana said we would know wasn't the correct week to tell the fans we would know
Brock was going to the doctor yeah but may of needed to wait for test results to come back before he could say for sure one way or the other and is sick of hearing all the questions and media around this and told Dana to shut up until he knows for sure?

I bet he has been fine for weeks. This buildup to announce he’s fighting in july or whenever is just a marketing/publicity stunt. Didn’t Randy just say he talked to Brock a couple of days ago and Brock said he’ll fight again? And that he’s training right now?
Stay thirsty my friends
There's no way in hell Dana could keep that secret
"He is gonna find out who Ken Shamrock is, was, and is now!"
-Ken Shamrock
he didn't
he’s gonna fight in aug. in boston against winner of Carwin/Mir… you guys can say WOW next week!
I hope so but personally if Mir wins
I would prefer to see Brock face another fighter other than Mir as much as you all love seeing Mir take a beating LOL.

I'll take that bet too
Mir has improved, and he is almost half as good as Brock now.
"He#s the WWE champ and with out a doubt should be ranked higher than any other man in the UFC. "-Puck Head, LOL.
The best thing Mir can hope for is to catch Brock while he’s not at 100%. He has no chance at beating a healthy Brock, and as much as he tries to say otherwise with his smugness, he knows he can’t beat Brock.
The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful
I disagree
and last time I checked it’s 1-1 and he caught Brock with a vicious knee in the 2nd fight
How did that vicious knee help him?
It’s one for Brock and one for Maz.
"He#s the WWE champ and with out a doubt should be ranked higher than any other man in the UFC. "-Puck Head, LOL.

I thought Brock was screwed when they both fell after the knee. Then I remembered, this is Brock, he’s playing possum.

Who hasn't been hurt in a fight that they won
GSP hurt his leg against alves, Hendo was hurt when he won the Pride belt, Fedor was hurt by Rogers….I could go on and on but being hurt is one thing and being in danger of losing the fight is another and Brock was never in any danger

Maybe so kevin
If mir wins and NOG wins and thats who I’m thinking will, why not Brock against JDS then the winner of Mir and NOG if thats how it plays out. Of coaurse Carwin could pull off the upset? he has alot of unknowns about his fight game but if those unknowns turn out to be strengths he very well may win as well he could always connect and leave those unknowns well unknown. If Carwin wins and NOG wins A Carwin vs. JDS and NOG vs Brock. thats as deep as I’m going to go and I pray your right about Brock returning anyway.

no problem with that scenario
JDS has no shot and the winner of Mir/Nog vs. Brock is pefect. JDS would be a good tune up for Brock!
JDS is no tune up fight

Thats a dangerous opponent to come back to. JDS is a killer and he is only getting better month after month.

I love Cote and think he’s better then most do.
BY far the best performance against AS.
Leites I never really believed in. He just never seemed to have any hunger or anger or crazyness.
I think you need one of those to fight well.

Not his fault that he'd already beaten the top MWs (Franklin, Hendo, Nate) and them 3 beat all of the other contenders

I know for sure Brock will not want a tune up fight he will want the best, thats who Brock is and why I’m a huge fan of his.

Brock didn’t get any warm-up fights when he started in UFC, and he doesn’t need them now. There’s a possibility that Brock shits himself in the cage because of a leaky large intestine, but there is a much greater chance that Mir shits himself from sheer terror at having to fight Brock again.

Amen Brutha!
He dosen’t fight cream puffs. He’s done more in his very short career than anyone. And with no fight experience.

yes he is
Brock has proven he can eat one on the way in, then it’s over. what skillset does JDS have on his back with Brock on top? And you guy know I’m not a fan of Brock at all!
always possible
but i don’t think Brock can eat more than one and certainly ONE is all JDS needs. Yvel is prime example
But i get your point.

JDS is the best boxer in the HW division, he'd give Brock fits if they ever fought
JDS would KO Carwin and Mir, he has far superior boxing to either of them and hasn’t even had to use his BJJ in a fight yet. He’d be a very tough opponent for Brock and Cain as well. If JDS ever gets a title fight then he’ll have earnt it after going on a long winning streak, because the UFC aren’t going to hand him a title fight for talking shit about Brock like they are doing with Carwin and Mir.

He would be on his back in a matter of seconds where his boxing would be rendered ineffective. And I could give a shit what sort of BJJ he has, Brock has no neck to choke, and his arms and shoulders are too big to get any sort of a sub on.
The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful
Mir caught Brock in a leg lock
It’s not impossible to submit Lesnar and if JDS can work on his sprawl and make it difficult for Brock to take him down then JDS has a good chance at getting the KO.

Thats easier said than done
For a big man Brock moves fast, much faster than JDS. JDS concentrating and worried about Brocks take downs will keep his striking to a minimum or at least much less than normal, he will also have to be more carefull especially moving forward against the big man. Brocks biggest strength is his his wrestling and aggression on the ground JDS may be good on the ground but no match for Brock. JDS has a punchers chance…….. I really don’t want to talk about this unti it’s confirmed Brock is coming back.
"He broke tim sylvia’s arm…...So what?" – Brock Lesnar
His ankle is about the only part small enough to latch a sub on. He’s just too big and strong to get with an arm bar, shoulder lock or choke. Plus, he’s about 10 times better now than he was when he stepped into that ankle lock.
The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful
I'm not convinced that Brock is going to be the same beast that he was before his illness
His cardio is going to be a mess if he does come back and his weight loss will also be a big problem. Whilst he’s been recovering, JDS has been competing and training to be the best. He’s on a great roll and Lesnar is going to have big problems dealing with him. I want to see how JDS can deal with a top wrestler like Lesnar, Cain or Carwin but I’m confident that he could KO all 3 of them.

A striker like him he connects with a couple solid
shots sure David. And if he catches Brock or anyone for that matter it most likely will be game over. I think Brock has the speed advantage on the feet though that will make it tough for JDS to get the proper distance without lunging or getting to close to Brock were he will expose himself or Brock will get in close and latch on to him and into the grapple were Brock will wear on him.
On the ground or in the grapple I really feel Brock will work JDS or any other fighter for that matter(Carwin maybe?)…. I really don’t why I’m getting into this until we hear if he’s even coming back for sure or not my opinion may mean nothing next week. If he comes back David we will continue until then lets leave this a mutual stalemate please and thank you?

It will be a trial by fire for JDS. Gonzaga will take him straight to the ground ASAP.
Calu
Gonzaga didn't even bother taking Cro Cop to the ground(didn't need to)
I don’t think he is going to come in with that game plan.
Plus he won’t be able to get JDS down.

JDS has good wrestling
Gonzaga’s take downs-not so much. This fight ends on the feet.

It's not that good, Werdum outclassed him on the ground
He also did nothing on the ground against Randy and couldn’t keep Carwin on his back. I doubt that he will go for the takedown, since the Cro Cop win Gabe has fancied himself as a striker. Whilst he has power, he still lacks technique plus he can be broken mentally if the fight doesn’t go his way, which is why Cro Cop aside he’s lost every big fight that he’s ever had. JDS has this one in the bag.

He did take down Cro Cop and actually did a lot of damage before the ref did a piss poor stand-up
Luckily for Gabe he was still able to capitalise with that crazy head kick, it would have been a travesty if that stand-up had have cost him.

Lets just hope for the fans sake he is fine. And not small in stature. The marketing behind brock is largely due to his size. Brock may just be the ticket for MMA to go mainstream.
he's already proven you right in a lot of ways
"He wants to get in close and use that reach advantage" - Mike Goldberg
"Half of this game is 90% Mental" - Tim Sylvia
"I have two words for you... Destiny" - Diego Sanchez.
Anyone interested in a dumbest MMA quote of all time poll?
To all the Dana and Brock haters out there
Brock is coming back and Dana White will someday own Strikefarce, which will then become the minor league of the UFC.
brock lesnar owns fedor's soul
What does SF have to do with this article?
Right now they’ve signed up to huge international deals thanks to M-1 as well as a network deal with CBS and a cable deal with Showtime (both much better channels than Spike and VS) plus they’re signing up world class fighters from Affliction (Fedor, Gegard), Elite (Diaz, Shields) and Dream (Jacare, Manhoef, Aoki) as well as other top talent (Hendo, Huerta) that the UFC couldn’t keep. SF are here to stay and no unoriginal insults or Dana rants are going to change that.
"Wanderlei will win for sure...I think Wanderlei will get there and knock him out with his powerful cross...it’s going to be a big fight, I respect Bisping but there is nowhere to run." Jose Aldo
"Wanderlei is focused and well trained...he will easily win this fight, by a large margin and with much better technique." Anderson Silva
"I think Wanderlei has superior conditioning and experience, I think if Bisping tries to exchange with Wanderlei he will lose...I think Bisping will be shaking. He will be lost." Andre Galvao
Team Brazil on Wandi-Bisping. War Wand.
I think JDS will need another fight too even if Brock doesn't come back JDS should be fighting
someone so he doesn’t have to wait for so long on facing a winner with the other top four guys.

GG shouldn't get this big fight
Agree with PW.

Right above.

hope ur being serious jay
99% of what I write I can link or prove, but what I won’t “prove” is inside info!
A lot of fighters get money the fans don't see and it states that on the post that show their salaries
Hell Brock might get 50K for making this press conference appearance. Dana believed Rua should of won so much that he gave him his 100K. It’s believable but if there is no way of proving it there can be doubt and always will be by some. I believe you kev I just think it’s better if you have valid proof though then there is no room for speculation.

I know.
That you don’t just say shit for the sake of saying shit. I trust you if you say you read something. Same with most guys here.

Nice at least JDS might be tested on the ground
I don’t think G will want to stand with JDS especially after being sent to the hospital for the Carwin shot.

I agree.
I have no problem with this match and it makes sense, winner fed to Brock
Nog/Mir rematch
winners fight!
oh, and Carwin isn’t beating Mir!
Even if GG wins?
He gets a shitle tot?
"He#s the WWE champ and with out a doubt should be ranked higher than any other man in the UFC. "-Puck Head, LOL.
Agree about Carwin/Mir
Don’t see Mir losing to Carwin.

Gabe won't win anyway, JDS is a lock
I’ve got Carwin beating Mir as well as I don’t see Mir taking Carwin down and he won’t be able to deal with Carwin’s power on the feet. Then again I hate Mir so this could be another time in which he proves me wrong.

my prediction
brock is back. but he’ll have a colostomy bag and lose when it gets kicked.
that’s the only way he’ll shit himself
Its all hype
In fact im a bit surprised that everyone is buying in to the Dana hype machine AGAIN. Have we not learned that Dana will do anything for that extra bit of ppv money. He’s hyping up Brock’s return and has been for a long time.
I really hope this is to build ratings..
And Brock comes back and smashes Mirs jaw into the 9th row!
I can hear it now
Rogan- “there goes Mirs jaw”
Goldberg- “Mirs hurt joe”

Randy told us everything
I believe Randy over Dana any day. Randy’s the one guy who isn’t afraid of stealing Dana’s thunder. Dana is trying to build up the worst case scenerios so that the comeback is even bigger news. Notice Dana hasn’t responed to Randy’s comments. All is well and we just have to see what shape Brocks in when he returns. If you believe Dana that brock wasn’t 100 percent to begin with because he had the issue for a while then we should have nothing to worry about.
