BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar is suffering from a bacterial infection in his intestinal tract.

UFC president Dana White spoke with Lesnar on Monday and said he
could be released from the hospital soon. Asked if he was in a Bismarck hospital, White said, "I think he is," but did not want to say which hospital because he wanted to protect Lesnar's privacy.

White said he is encouraging Lesnar to check into the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., for further treatment.

White also said he does not know if the 32-year-old South Dakota native will fight again.

Bismarck's St. Alexius hospital said Lesnar was not a patient there. The other hospital in the city Medcenter One, would not confirm or deny he was there.
