MMA / UFC News UFC News: Paul Heyman provides details on Brock Lesnar's illness, says the UFC Hvt. Champion turned down a movie role with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson By Jason Powell Nov 2, 2009 - 06:02 PM Email This Article | Printer Friendly Page Send Us News & Results | Back to Main Listing Paul Heyman wrote a new blog in which he detailed Brock Lesnar's illness. "It was about three and a half weeks ago, when I was on the phone with Brock, and he sounded just so tired," Heyman wrote. "I asked him if this training camp was harder than the others. He shocked me with his answer. 'I'm just exhausted,' he admitted, 'I train, I come home, and I crash. I'm going to take a day or two off and just try to shake this thing.' That was hint number one. Something was wrong. "About a week later, Brock told me he was behind in his training camp. 'I'm still going to beat Shane Carwin's ass," Brock stated, 'then let's go ice fishing or something. Whatever I have, it's throwing me off my game.' Uh oh. Hint number two. NOTHING throws Brock Lesnar off his game. Not injury, as I've seen him work through those. Not personal turmoil. I've seen his home life get turned upside down. He works through that as well." To read the full blog, visit HeymanHustle.com. Powell's POV: Heyman also explained why Lesnar was able to blow the ceremonial horn at the Vikings game despite his illness. He also provided details on a movie role that Lesnar turned down that would have involved Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. That's a shame because it could have been a really fun fight scene.
