UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar is suffering from an illness which my end his career.

Lesnar is suffering from a bacterial infection in his intestinal tract. The severity of the infection could prevent Lesnar from ever fighting again. UFC president Dana White announced Monday that the intestinal disorder has left Lesnar “very, very sick.”

Today the MMA champion had “minor” surgery, which according to white, went well.

“Leaving Bismarck, N.D. right now,” White stated via Twitter. “Brock had minor surgery and is feeling better.”

“Not 100 percent sure he is out of the woods, but feeling better,” White stated.

Lesnar was diagnosed with mononucleosis earlier this month, and collapsed last week at his vacation home in Canada.

White said, “There’s a possibility Lesnar will never fight again.” Lesnar was scheduled to defend his heavyweight belt against Shane Carwin, but that match has been rescheduled. On Saturday, White said, “He’s got mono and he’s got something else wrong with him. I know what’s wrong with him, but he doesn’t want me talking about it. He doesn’t have cancer or AIDS or anything like this, but he’s got some problems, man”.
