The Las Vegas Sun talked to Chris Tuchscherer about his training partner and UFC Heavyweight Champ Brock Lesnar about his decision to remove himself from his first title defense against Shane Carwin at UFC 106:
“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. There’s a lot of cases of (swine flu) around here. I don’t want to say it’s that for sure, but it wouldn’t surprise me. 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.”
