An illness has forced UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar out of the UFC 106 main event with Shane Carwin. Lesnar has been sick and unable to train for nearly a month. The news was first reported by Yahoo! Sports.

Carwin has since stated he’s now planning on facing Lesnar on January 2 at UFC 108. The UFC has not determined a replacement fight to headline the show, which takes place November 21 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.

UFC 106 now has 2 of its headline matches scrapped along with the Tito Ortiz vs. Mark Coleman match being canceled due to a Mark Coleman injury.
