Just as President Barack Obama proclaims the H1N1 virus aka Swine Flu a national crisis, the UFC has its own mini crisis as Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar announced Monday that he will have to withdraw from his main event showdown with Shane Carwin at UFC 106.
Apparently the Champion has been dealing with a sickness for approximately three weeks and has been left unable to train. With the November 21st event less than a month away and Lesnar still unable to shake the cold he felt he was forced to withdraw from such an important fight.
The UFC reportedly has moved the Tito Ortiz/Forrest Griffin fight to co-main event status and is looking to set up a new fight to fill the gaping hole created by the departure of the heavyweight title fight between Lesnar and Carwin.
Lesnar/Carwin has been rescheduled to the UFC 108 card on January 2nd which is scheduled to take place from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
