UFC Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar is set to return to the Octagon this summer.
Lesnar will fight the winner of the Shane Carwin vs. Frank Mir fight at UFC 111.
Lesnar appeared alongside UFC president Dana White on ESPN in the U.S on Wednesday to make the announcement.
Lesnar said that he had been feeling sick for some time while he was training for his fight with Shane Carwin, which was scheduled for UFC 106 last November.
He talked about being diagnosed with diverticulitis after it was originally suspected he had mononucleosis. Lesnar revealed that surgery was being considered but he began to feel better and heal, dropping 40lbs in the process. A visit to the Mayo Clinic revealed in Brock being told surgery was needed but a medical earlier this month revealed he had put 30lbs of his lost weight back on. Brock called it a miracle and said there are no risks in him returning to the Octagon.
If the winner of Carwin vs. Mir cannot fight Lesnar, Lesnar will face the winner of Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Cain Velasquez who meet at UFC 110 next month
