Former WWE star and current UFC Hvt. champion Brock Lesnar has reportedly been dealing with his internal illness for a year that caused UFC president Dana White to question Lesnar's future as a fighter last weekend.

Lesnar is expected to make a full recovery from a bacterial infection in his intestinal tract and his trainer claimed to TMZ that Lesnar will be ready to fight again within six months.

UFC president Dana White said on Thursday that Lesnar had a "hole in in intestine" that was causing a leak into his stomach, which caused pain for Lesnar.

“The doctor told him he hasn’t been right for a year," White said. "His immune system has been trying to fight this thing and that's why he was susceptible to getting sick.”
