I dont really like MMA but obvisouly hes a household name in the sport. Hope he can come back .

Dont know about Chris Horton.

What i've read on diverticulitis is that patients often try intensive medication to try and battle the disease. Apparantley it never really heals, and the side effects really can affect major organs, specifically your liver and spleen can become enlarged from the medicine, so that eliminates contact/combat sports. Thats why Brock would likely not get a license, and the UFC wouldnt keep him around as that kind of a liability if he were to suffered ruptured organs during a fight.

People bring up the issue of fighting in a state that requires no licensing (West Virginia, Wyoming, and a few others come to mind), but i dont see Brock fighting for a cheap promotion and possibly risking his life just to compete, but i guess thats his call to make. I just dont see a world-class athlete resorting to those type of low measures.

Surely if Brock wants to stay in MMA and competing is out of the question, i'm sure the UFC could give him a job as a trainer or coach of some kind.

I'd also have to think competing is out if he has to get a colostomy....
