Brock Lesnar suffered diverticulitis throughout his MMA Career

Brock Lesnar is an American professional wrestler and former professional mixed martial artist. He started off as an MMA fighter in 2007 and later on moved his career to the WWE in 2012.

He is a three-time WWE Champion, a former UFC Heavyweight Champion, and a NCAA Division I Wrestling Champion and is the only man in history who is able to win the three categories of sports.

But amidst his great athletic career, Lesnar is suffering from diverticulitis which nearly killed him.Lesnar's close friend, Paul Heyman divulge the information during an interview with Dave Meltzer and that Lesnar's medical condition is worst that what everyone thinks.

Heyman is an American entertainment producer, promoter, performer, and marketing guru currently signed to WWE. According to Heyman, "Brock wasn't healthy."

"I don't think Brock has truly understood nor accepted the severity of the illness that took him down. They did blood work on Brock and they found out he wasn't healthy for many, many years. His body was fighting this affliction off and using so much of his energy."

He continued "He was handicapped the entire time. His body is so freakish, he was fighting this thing off and he had enough energy to do those other things while sick. The Brock Lesnar who stepped into the cage with Alistair Overeem, he was at 50, 75 percent. You're going to fight Alistair Overeem at 75 percent, Cain Velasquez at 75 percent. He fought Shane Carwin at 75, or 60, or 80 percent, but even at 95 percent against Shane Carwin, you're at a disadvantage."

Ever since his retirement from MMA, Lesnar is now with the WWE and pro wrestling but he also didn't rule out the possibility of him returning to the octagon. But for now, he is happy with the WWE stint.

Hey man said "I think he's very, very happy right now with what we're doing in WWE. It's [making an MMA come back] not a subject he has to think about. If the deal ends up over in WWE, if a change of circumstances happens, and if it's a no-brainer to get him back into the cage, I'm sure it's something he'd consider. Right now, it's not a topic of conversation. Why would you mess up the WWE deal."
