Lesnar out of Carwin fight

UFC heavyweight titleholder Brock Lesnar will miss the fight with Shane Carwin at UFC 106 in Las Vegas.

Lesnar withdrew on Monday from the main event on the Nov. 21 card, due to an illness that has kept him out of training for over three-and-a-half weeks, according to Yahoo! Sports.

“He said he’s never been this sick in his life,” UFC president Dana White told Yahoo! Sports. “He said it’s been going on for a long time and he just hasn’t been able to shake it.”

Carwin revealed on his Twitter that the fight will be postponed until January 2nd.
