At this moment probably only God knows what will be with Brock Lesnar MMA career.
Thousands of Brock fans and haters are waiting for good or bad news (health report), but there is no official news.
Dana White knows something but Brock asked him not to talk about it.
Lesnar trainers Marty Morgan and Greg Nelson had not yet heard any new information regarding the champion's health.
Randy Couture believes Brock Lesnar will return in the first half of this year
It is big mystery and big confusion at the same time and that is not good for nobody.
On the internet we can read many rumors these days, so until we are waiting for official health report see few interesting rumors/news/interviews.
LESNAR ON FACEBOOK – “Could Be Out All Of This Year”
“NEW UPDATE!! Brock has had more problems (we can't say what they are) and he could be out all of this year if things don't get better. Brock wants to thank all of his fans for their support and for the nice messages so thanks guys.”
LESNAR TRAINER MARTY MORGAN – “Brock Lesnar Will Fight Again”
According to his trainer, Marty Morgan, who provided the update in a speech at “The Clash” wrestling tournament in Minnesota (Jan, 8 2010).
"[Lesnar] had a bout with a bacterial infection in his intestinal tract in November and now we’re working our way back to where we need to get back to fight,” said Morgan.
“I don’t give more answers than that, Brock doesn’t give more answers, and his agents don’t give more answers. There’s only a handful of people that know where we’re at. We’ve always just kept quiet with what’s going on. He will fight again, I know that. It’s just a matter of the public finding out when.”
Dana White for FanHouse
News about UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar was expected to come this week, but with the days winding down, mum seems to be the word.
UFC President Dana White, when reached via text, said he could not comment on anything regarding the champion's health and re-evaluation.
"Brock asked me not to talk about it," he said. "I have to respect that."
When asked if he could make any statement at all about Lesnar, White was again uncharacteristically silent.
"No comment," he said. "First time in nine years I have ever said that."
As he himself noted, White's silence on a subject is rare. Just days ago during the weekend of UFC 108, White informed the media that news regarding Lesnar's health would be forthcoming following a re-evaluation in the coming week. The notoriously private Lesnar has not made a single public statement since his health issues began, and most of the available information about his condition has come from White, who has cited his function as a promoter in previously overriding Lesnar's wish for secrecy.
Earlier in the day, MMA Fighting briefly spoke with Lesnar's trainer Greg Nelson, who said that he had not yet heard any new information regarding the champion's health.
Randy Couture - Brock Lesnar will return in the first half of this year
Randy "The Natural" Couture believes Brock Lesnar will return in the first half of this year. UFC President Dana White refused to comment this week about heavyweight titleholder Brock Lesnar's ongoing health issues, but Couture told HDNET's Inside MMA to expect Lesnar's return in the spring.
