Report: Brock Lesnar's Colon Condition Cited as Reason for UFC Career End

A Yahoo Sports report published Friday claims former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar would have remained titleholder if not for a "weak, pouchy colon" condition. The article, written by Jesse Holland, references a statement that "no one would get out of the first round" against Lesnar had he not suffered from the ailment. Lesnar, who competed at UFC 100 in July 2009, ultimately retired from mixed martial arts in 2011 after a first-round loss to Alistair Overeem. The report does not specify the source of the medical claim or who made the assessment about Lesnar's hypothetical career trajectory.
