UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar, who recently announced his return to the Octagon after recovering from a case of diverticulosis, told the Heyman Hustle he will not hold back his thoughts on the healthcare system.

“I’m not going to shut up about this,” said Lesnar. “I’m an American. I’m guaranteed the right to express my opinion. And I’m stating it loud and clear, because I experienced something that I want to talk about. If I was a recovering drug addict, people would want to hear my story. Well, I survived something, and I went through -first hand- the problems in the health care system, and I want to talk about it.

I entered the hospital around 4am on a Saturday morning, and I spent two nights there. No one talks about that. Their CT machine was broken, and they were waiting for a replacement. They could not take a picture of my stomach. If they would have had the ability to take the picture, they would have seen I had holes inside me. If I stayed at that Canadian hospital, at best I would have been retired and would have to wear a colostomy bag. At worst, I could have died.”

With Lesnar now fully recovered, he is expected to defend his belt this upcoming summer against the winner of the Frank Mir vs. Shane Carwin interim title figt, which takes place at UFC 111 on March 27.
