Brock Lesnar, 500K+ Buys, Scratched from UFC 106
__________________________________________________________________________The next great UFC fight card has been compromised as it was announced on UFC.com that Brock Lesnar has withdrawn from his UFC 106 main event fight with undefeated #1 contender Shane Carwin due to illness.
UFC President Dana White told Yahoo! sports that he doesn’t think Lesnar has H1N1 (Swine Flu), but given the fact that it’s been well documented that Lesnar lives and trains out in a farm in Nowheresville Minnesota, news of a Brock Lesnar Swine Flu outbreak would not be only fitting.
Brock Lesnar has withdrawn from UFC 106 with illness.
The last time Lesnar main evented a UFC card, at UFC 100, the ensuing buyrates were nothing short of record-setting for the polarizing champ. This is a huge loss for the UFC 106 card as UFC’s Mike Tyson will not be in the main event, but instead home resting with Robin Givens Sable.
