Thread: Welcome all UFC Fans

“It’s just helped me to be around him,” said Tuchscherer of his time with the heavyweight champ. “I’ve been around him through all this the last couple years, and being at every UFC with him - in the back, at the weigh-ins and press conferences - has helped me out a lot as far as knowing that nothing’s going to be a big shock to me. I know how the UFC works when we go out there the week before the fight, and that helps take a lot of pressure off. When you’ve never done any of that before and you get put in those situations, it stresses a guy out. I can’t say what I’m gonna feel like getting into that cage that night in front of all those people, but Brock and I are really good friends and we’ve had lots of talks as far as ‘this is what to expect’, ‘don’t worry about this’, ‘this guy ain’t no different than you’, and stuff like that.”

Lesnar even went as far as to give Tuchscherer a new nickname – “The Crowbar”.

“I had a different nickname before,” said the Rugby native, who used to be known as “Tuchy” (pronounced Tookie). “Me and Brock were sitting there talking about it one day and saying that I need a new nickname. Tuchscherer is such a hard name to pronounce and Brock is the guy that actually threw that name out there. We were like ‘Hell yeah, that sounds cool.’ He told me, ‘you’re just a tough SOB and you’ve just got that ‘Crowbar’ look.’ (Laughs) So we went with it. It started out as a joke but then it grew on us.”
