The year-old former Minnesota Golden Gopher wrestler lost 40 pounds and was hospitalized for nearly two week two years ago in his first bout with the intestinal illness. Lesnar was scheduled to fight Junior Dos Santos on June 11 following their appearances on this season's Ultimate Fighter reality show, but Dos Santos will now face former Lesnar rival Shane Carwin while Lesnar deals with the disease.
