The previously-undiagnosed illness will keep Lesnar out of action indefinitely, though he could be released from the hospital soon, UFC President Dana White told the AP.

UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar, sidelined indefinitely from an undisclosed illness, is likely to require “major surgery” and may never fight again, UFC President Dana White today told TMZ.com.
