According to UFC President Dana White, current UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar is very ill and will not be defending his title any time soon. ESPN Sports

“He’s in a hospital up in North Dakota somewhere right now,” said White. “He went to Canada and some bad stuff happened to him, so we’ve got to figure it out.

“He doesn’t want to talk about it publicly, but he’s in bad shape. He’s not well and he’s not going to be getting well anytime soon.”

Champion Lesnar was going to defend his title on Nov. 18 against top contender Shane Carwin, but Lesnar had to pull out of the fight due to a medical condition, it was later discovered that Lesnar had mononucleosis, however White said that the champion has other problems as well.

“I am worried about it,” said White of his biggest star’s medical situation. “You know, I can’t really talk about it right now, but he’s in rough shape. He’s in really bad shape … and we’re going to have to do some stuff to take care of this guy. He is not well and he’s not getting any better.

With the Heavyweight Champion out for a while, this probably means that the UFC will have to set up an interim title match sometime soon, but for now we can only hope Lesnar gets better soon and back to defend his title.

So who do you think should fight for the UFC Heavyweight Interim Title? Nogueira, Mir, Carwin or should we see the return of “Captain America” Randy Couture?
