As noted earlier, Brock Lesnar will appear on ESPN’s Sports Center tomorrow at 11AM ET to give an update in his health status. Lesnar has not fought since defeating Frank Mir at UFC 100 in July of 2009. During that time, Lesnar had been diagnosed with mononucleosis and then diverticulitis, which caused him to pull out of his UFC 106 fight with Shane Carwin. UFC president Dana White had been respectful of Lesnar’s health status, and would not divulge information that Lesnar wanted kept quiet, but did say that it could be career ending. Lesnar’s trainer, Greg Nelson, has stated that Lesnar would fight again. Tomorrow we’ll find out.
As noted earlier, New Japan Pro Wrestling star Kazuchika Okada is headed to TNA Wrestling, according to a message on the Puroresu Spirit Facebook.com page. Okada, who is known as the Young Lion, will wrestle in the United States for TNA to gain experience until he’s ready to come back to New Japan and be a top competitor. The official announcement reads: As for the 22 year old Kazuchika Okada, NJPW has high hopes for the Young Lion as they plan to send him to train and wrestle for TNA Wrestling. The President of NJPW Sugabayashi has stated that Okada is still young and that the plan is for Okada to stay as long as needed for him to come back to NJPW and become a real contender. So at this time it looks like he may be in TNA for the next 2-3 years.
