Lesnar heals himself to hurt others

Lesnar heals himself to hurt others

“Talk all the shit you want now, diverticulitis!”

Finally speaking for himself, UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar revealed that he has healed his diverticulitis without surgery, and hopes to resume hurting others. Who is the f-ing man, indeed. Lesnar avoided a surgery that would have had him using a colostomy bag and ended his career, and instead got better with a high dosage of antibiotics and healthier eating.

I imagine it’s a bit awkward to be the doctor who recommended the former. Or perhaps he was only trying to protect us all from Lesnar’s wrath. Regardless, Lesnar went from having a hole in his stomach to nothing.

“[The doctors] were dumbfounded,” Lesnar said. “They couldn’t find any signs of any problem in my stomach. It’s just a miracle to me. I actually had to go back to the doctor yesterday before I came out here and get another CT scan, because I just still can’t believe it.”

Lesnar hasn’t fought since July of 2009 after canceling a November fight, but now expects to defend his belt this summer against the winner of the Frank Mir – Shane Carwin bout. It’s great to have him healthy, and as much as I dislike the guy, it’s great to have him back in the UFC. Going down to an illness or injury is never the way anyone wants to see a fighter get beat.

Now that his stomach is healed, I can root for his leg to get broken in good conscience.
