According to UFC president Dana White, Brock Lesnar is on the road to recovery.

“Leaving Bismarck, N.D. right now,” White stated via Twitter. “Brock had minor surgery and is feeling better.”

White said the heavyweight chapmion had been suffering from a bacterial infection in his intestinal track in addition to the mononucleosis.

While White was optimistic on Lesnar’s condition, he cautioned that the former NCAA wrestler was still very sick.

“Not 100 percent sure he is out of the woods, but feeling better,” White stated.

Lesnar’s condition has already twice forced the delay of a planned bout with top challenger Shane Carwin. Lesnar was supposed to headline UFC 105 this month.

I don’t know,” White told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “I’ve got to get him to one of these really good hospitals with really good doctors to figure out what’s wrong and how we get him better.”

Many blogs and MMA websites have been discussing whether-or-not Lesner would retain his belt during his illness.

“If it’s a long wait, we’re gong to have to do something,” White said. “The last thing I ever want to do is strip a guy who won a title. That’s the last thing I want to do. I don’t know if we’ll have to do an interim or what we’ll do to fix it.”
