All fans wanted more information, especially after UFC President Dana White came out and said Lesnar may never fight again.White also mentioned that Lesnar had an intestinal problem and needed major surgery Now, as it stands, Lesnar did have surgery yesterday However, it was a minor not major surgery. Also, it was not for some bacterial infection like many are reporting.Lesnar has something called diverticulitis.

For those of you who are notfamiliar with this disease, it is one that forms small pouches in the large intestine and the colon, which is no fun whatsoever.It was set off most likely by mono, considering mono both attacks the spleen and intestines. The disease may have beendormant until he was sick, then suddenly came about.This happens to a lot in people, so its not uncommon for Lesnar to be fine one day then out of nowhere have something wrong.The illness has been known to be found among bodybuilders that eat high-protein diets with little fiber. Sure, others can get it too, but the cases in bodybuilders that do as I mentioned have a higher chance.Now, diverticulitis doesn't always require surgery. However, I would think White and Lesnar agree that it wasnecessary for him to go ahead and get it now to possibly stop it from getting worse.It has been known to go into remission on its own, but the chances of Lesnar fighting with it only in remission and possibly coming back are not good. Lesnar should still keep in mind that it doesn't matter if he gets surgery or not, diverticulitis can come back.So while the surgery may help for now, the chances of it staying away forever are not high.Thedoctors are most likely going to give him a diet plan, which will most likely result in him losing significant weight.
