    Former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar underwent surgery on Thursday to address a second bout with diverticulitis, and if all goes well, he could fight in 2012.

    UFC president Dana White today said that Lesnar had 12 inches of his colon removed in the procedure and is expected to spend the rest of 2011 in recovery.

    However, White hopes the former heavyweight champ will return next year.

    "He said he's a little sore, but the operation was a huge success," White said during the pay-per-view telecast of UFC 130, which took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

    Lesnar was forced to withdraw from a No. 1 contender bout with Junior Dos Santos at UFC 131 due to the intestinal illness. The two had served as opposing coaches on "The Ultimate Fighter 13," which finishes airing this coming week on Spike TV.

    The former champ was first stricken with diverticulitis in late 2009 and spent several months in recovery as his future in the sport hung in the balance. He recovered from the illness in early 2010 with lifestyle changes, but it again resurfaced this spring.


    Be good if he can make a comeback. But 12 inches is no joke. I know exactly what he's going through. Hopefully he'll be ok.

    I hope next time he comes back they give him a fight or two to get back into the swing and shake off the rust. Pitching a guy coming off a serious illness in against Carwin then Cain was borderline cruelty!! You need cage-time to get back to full sharpness after something like that. I'd much rather see Lesnar vs McCorkle than Lesnar vs Dos Santos next year.

    "The colon is also known as the large intestine. It is divided into four segments, totaling approximately 60 inches on average."

    No wonder his mind was not on coaching during tuf. The guy deserves an apology. One of the worst things to be around when you are ill is arrogant fighters I should imagine.
