Not quite, diverticulitis is when food/faeces gets trapped in your gut in little abnormal sacs of intestine (which are known as diverticulae) and becomes inflamed, probably got it from eating a diet of pure protein and the associated constipation. I wouldn't be surprised if most MMA guys (people obsessively guzzling protein) have it. It can get pretty serious on occasion if the bowel becomes badly infected and/or perforates, but it's still minor for the most part. Just weird that that is what kept him out for so long, I'd read all sorts of other speculation about his health and this is something relatively routine, not really ever described as life-threatening.
