Brock Lesnar’s Training Partner Chris Tuchscherer Talks Lesnar’s Decision to Pull Out of UFC 106 Fight

UFC heavyweight fighter Chris Tuchscherer, who trains with UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar, recently spoke to The Las Vegas Sun about Lesnar’s recent decision to pull out of his scheduled UFC 106 main event fight against Shane Carwin due to illness.

Tuchscherer said:

“He actually practiced (Sunday) and thought he might be feeling alright. He said, ‘Wow, I think I’m doing OK today.’ (Monday) he got here and it was the same old stuff – fatiguing right away, not being all there. After practice we were all sitting around, we were actually going to come back later at night to work out again, and he basically told us, ‘Hey guys, I’m going to pull out of this thing.’

He was very excited for this fight. He was always in good spirits. I could tell he was kind of let down today and he told us he felt really bad.”
