UFC Heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar has remained hush hush about this whole “possible career ending” ailment he’s been suffering from, but the UFC has plans to hold a press conference this week with Lesnar to answer many of the looming questions. Early reports from folks who would know say that Lesnar has been training and will be able to compete in the octagon again, though no time frame is set.In the meantime it looks like the guy that was slated to face Lesnar for the belt, Shane Carwin, is set to face Lesnar’s nemesis, Frank Mir. The fight makes perfect sense, especially if the champ is gonna’ have to stay on the shelves for a few more months.  The UFC even threw in an interim title just to bulk up the pay per view numbers. In this economy, every little bit counts.

The bout will be taking place at UFC 111 on March 27 in New Jersey.
