And it seemed like just yesterday I showed you guys the official UFC 106 promo video. Oh damn, that was today and...oh damn, Brock Lesnar has pulled out of his UFC 106 title defense with Shane Carwin. Apparently Lesnar has been sick for nearly an entire month and he's forced to remove himself from UFC 106. Kevin Iole from Yahoo! Sports breaks it down:

UFC president Dana White confirmed the news to Yahoo! Sports. White said Lesnar has been ill for more than three-and-a-half weeks and unable to train. With the bout at UFC 106 less than a month away, Lesnar was forced to postpone the title defense.
"He said he's never been this sick in his life," White said. "He said it's been going on for a long time and he just hasn't been able to shake it."

Looks like the that nuclear detonation at Mandalay Bay is going to have to wait a little longer. Now comes the fun part of finding a replacement for Brock Lesnar (can we get a little Gilbert Yvel love in here?). [Source]

Update: Griffin vs. Ortiz will headline UFC 106.

Jon Fitch's match being moved to UFC 107 and now this?

106 went from having a main card where i was actually looking forward to EVERY match to deteriorating rapidly as hell. Damn.

I just heard. Apparently he's had the flu for 3 weeks but in that case why didn't he notify anyone earlier? And what the hell kind of Flu lasts for 3 weeks? I have a cousin who contracted Swine Flu and felt better in 6 days.

This couldn't come at a worse time for the UFC. Rampage leaving, 104 is a total blow-hard and now this.

I think Carwin will be sitting this one out. 106 is less than 4 weeks away, who the hell are they going to find to step in as a replacement?

Cain or Nogueira I see as the only possible options, and those two aren't going to draw anywhere near what Brock would have on PPV, nor be that big of a test for Carwin. A Gonzaga rematch could happen but what would be the point?

A forget about Machida V. Rua II in just 3 and a half weeks after their last fight. Way too soon.

Lesnar was just plain, SCARED! He's a total JOKE, & no where's near being a "REAL" MMA fighter. Lesnar belongs in the WWE, or some other wrestling organization, period! & Joey Jo Jo said it best, all Lesnar is good for is drawing in the PPV folk's, & that's all anyone cares about these day's anyway, $$MONEY$$. Get a real man in there with Carwin, Lesnar is a poor excuse for a MMA warrior!!

I think he should stop boning Sable. That chick banged half the WWF I think when it was still called the WWF but I am not sure about that last fact!

Good video here of Brock feeling "sicker than he's ever been in his life" on the 18th of October, attending the Vikings game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBIgvbt2YQo&feature=player_embedded

My, he does look quite ill. I felt sorry for him just watching.

Dana is going to piss on his own 'champion' in the end if Brock's not in the hospital QUICK. LOL. They need a public relations campaign in a hurry! Everyone that hates Lesnar has another reason, and the ones who enjoy him as the heel, are going to be pissed because it looks like he's more pussy than rough neck now. How intimidated are opponents going to be when they know a guy get's out of title defenses over the swine flu, backin out weeks in advance??? A real warrior would wear a depends if he had to and just pray to god he'd not shit himself, but he'd still fight. I'm sorry, I know guys who have been in car wrecks and recovered faster and fought than this joke of a champ. A warrior is always ready to fight, don't need solid months of uninterrupted camp to fight. Guess we didn't need Shane to knock out Brock, just a cold will do.

Today's headline: " Brock Lesnar k.o.'d by swine flu, president Obama declares national emergency." LOL.
