You've gotta love the Internet.
Reports released on the eve of the announcement of the UFC on FOX main event painted a picture of an ailing Brock Lesnar (5-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) calling it quits on a career in MMA.
Those pictures couldn't be any more wrong, according to UFC president Dana White, who said the rumor was "ridiculous" today during the announcement.
"It's so far from the truth it's not even funny," White said. "The guy's working up on a farm in Canada all summer. He's 100 percent."
Lesnar's health has been the subject of great concern since he announced a second bout with diverticulitis that scratched his No. 1 title contender match with fellow "The Ultimate Fighter 13" coach Junior Dos Santos.
The heavyweight underwent corrective surgery this past May and was targeted to return in 2012, according to UFC president Dana White. A 12-inch section of Lesnar's colon was removed during the procedure.
But despite the severity of the illness
