The much-anticipated heavyweight title fight between champion Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin will not be taking place at UFC 108 on January 2 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Carwin announced the news on his official website on Wednesday.

He said:

“Guys my manager Jason Genet just told me that UFC 108 is not happening. Brock has Mono and what the UFC has told me is that I have earned the title shoot but I have to wait for the title holder. I hope Brock gets well soon.”

The bout was originally scheduled for UFC 106 on November 21 in Las Vegas, Nevada, but has since been postponed due to Lesnar’s illness.
