Lesnars 'Miracle' Recovery

Training
21

My mom had Diverticulitus a couple years ago as well, had to have several surgeries (didn’t respond to antibiotics) and is still not back to 100% health. It’s definitely no joke of a condition.

The thing that strikes me as strange about the whole thing is that Brock was apparently correctly diagnosed with the condition a few months ago and, if what Heavythrower is saying is true (which I’m sure it is), then he’d have been prescribed antibiotics to deal with it at that time.

Antibiotics don’t usually take several months to kill an infection from my (admittedly limited) experience with them (I know that in my mom’s case the doctor expected them to take effect almost immediately, and if memory serves me right the prescription did not exceed 1 month, if that).

So, he should have been either out of the water, or known that he wasn’t going to need surgery and let the UFC know this as well so that they could schedule the title fight between him and Carwin (who was patiently waiting for Brock to return).

Instead, he must have either told them that he was going to be out for a very extended time period which prompted them to schedule the match between Carwin and Mir.

Suddenly, once that happens, he comes out and says, “It’s a miracle! I’m suddenly all better and will challenge the winner of Carwin vs Mir.”

Something just doesn’t add up.

P.S. I’m glad that he is feeling better though and that his career isn’t over.

What isn’t adding up is the myriad of information that you and I do not have. Call him a big mouth, ignorant, you can even question his skill level (as you have). However anyone suspecting Lesnar of any sort of foul play over this health issue is totally out of line.

Brock had diverticulitus, and from that, contracted mono from the taxation on his immune system.

24

sometimes, sometimes, diverticulitis responds to abx, and only sometimes does it respond quickly. it is not uncommon for the first round or two of abx to have limited success, and then start working. gut infections are tough, tricky and dangerous.

again, i have no clue on what really was/is going on here, but like i said, i think a more well known or less exotic illness could have been chosen if he were “faking”. that does not add up.

Irrelevant. I think he’s an asshole, but that’s irrelevant. Let the fists do the talking in the octagon, and let the 1st amendment (and God if there is one) deal with political views, however revolting they might be.

Besides, where do you get that he’s a bigot?[/quote]

Let god deal with political views?!? I’m sorry I just find that to be funny

What matters to me is that lesnar is back, and now I get to see if Carwin has what it takes to put top ten heavies in their place. Also I doubt dana would make something like this up in order to sell pay per views, it just doesn’t make since. I haven’t heard any ‘propaganda’ about the ‘indestructible’ lesnar either, so what the hell are you talking about? You all talk on forums too much. Just be happy a good fighter is back and able to put on a show for you.

On a side note; frank mir lesnar 3 is not a good choice for mir right now. I doubt he’s found an answer for the insane wrestling ability of lesnar yet, and what’s left for him after he’s taken three runs at the champ in a little over a year. Seems like career suicide to me.

I’m not suspecting him of foul play, just saying that it seems strangely coincidental that no sooner does the UFC schedule a fight between Lesnar’s biggest challenge to date (who had previously stated that he was content to wait until Brock returned to challenge him for the belt) and the man that the UFC would love to have rematch Brock, that he suddenly makes a miracle recovery.

Maybe it wasn’t Brock at all but Dana and the UFC not wanting to risk their cash cow (or seeing the possibility of an even bigger pay day), maybe it was Brock not wanting to fight Carwin yet, maybe it was purely coincidence and no one is to blame. We don’t really know. I’m just saying that the timing and sequence of events seems a little strange.

Like I said, I’m glad that Brock is recovered. I don’t like to see anyone seriously ill or in pain like Brock must have been.

It seemed pretty cut and dry to me. His doctor thought he would probably need surgery. This would have been much worse, career wise, so he postponed this to see how well his body would heal itself. He went back in and his doctor was shocked at how well he had progressed. He went back in to get an MRI to make sure.

I don’t find it odd at all that his return was questionable for some time. Especially when his doctors thought he would eventually need surgery.

Edit - I think it was a cat scan, not an mri.

Yeah, that would make sense. Glad he didn’t need surgery.

You know, to me that sounds like you’re suspecting foul play.

Do you think there was another gunman on the grassy knoll?

Haha, I don’t know about that, but there was definitely a second spitter. :wink:

At least according to Newman.

My father-in-law had surgery for diverticulitis yesterday & will be in the hospital for another couple of days. It was horrible.

It does seem like a pretty fast rebound…but on the other hand, I’ve seen athletes make some pretty amazing and speedy recoveries before this (2 broken necks, H1N1, surgeries, and a pretty thorough suicide attempt. Not all the same guy, ha ha). The doctor always says the fast return to health was because they were in such great shape to begin with.

This is bullshit. I seriously doubt he was ever even sick and this whole thing was fabricated to enhance the legend of the “indestructable super Brock”. It also fucks Carwin out of his title shot. Carwin now fights Mir and I’m not sure he’ll win that. I think the UFC was scared Lesnar loses to Carwin so they make up this elaborate hoax and fuck Carwin out of his shot to set-up the huge pay-per view draw that will be “Brock vs Mir 3: Bad Blood”. I hope Carwin pulls it out against Mir and wipes the floor with Lesnar.[/quote]

of course brock, the 4 time all american who gave up millions in the wwe fabricated a story to duck fighting carwin and frank. i mean, isnt it obvious that hes absolutely terrified of MIR>??>?>
