The UFC heavyweight champion, Brock Lesnar is out of UFC 106 due an illness. More specifically, a flu. Rodrigo Comprido, Lesnar’s Jiu-Jitsu coach, emailed TATAME.com yesterday and commented the postponement, promising a great performance at 2010:

“I think you already know, but Brock had to postpone the fight because he had a terrible flu and couldn’t train for two weeks. We tried again today (yesterday) and he couldn’t do anything, so we decided to postpone the fight. It’d be impossible to fight well starting the third week without conditions to train well.

The fact is that, whenever the fight is set, he’ll present even better than the last time. And I say that because the beginning of this training camp was fantastic, the better start I’ve ever seen. We had a lot of high level sparrings and the coaches are even more connected. But the important is that Brock was very well physically and technically. Like people say, a blessing in disguise.

Wait and see, this fight will be memorable.

Best regard,

Rodrigo Comprido”
