Lesnar fight canceled

Fans of Brock Lesnar will have to wait a little longer to see his UFC heavyweight title defense showdown with Shane Carwin.

Lesnar withdrew from the scheduled fight after he was not able to shake an illness that has a kept him from his regular training routine for almost a month now. The main event at UFC 106 was scheduled for November 21.

Lesnar was not able to train at all last week. He tried getting back into it on Monday but was just not able to overcome the illness. The UFC hopes to reschedule the fight for early next year.
