Tongue-lashing for Lesnar
As Edmonton’s Tim (The Thrashing Machine) Hague prepares to take on Brock Lesnar training partner Chris Tuchscherer at UFC 109, the Canadian heavyweight is disappointed with Lesnar’s recent statements about the Canadian Health Care System.
“I’m a fan of Brock’s, but after what he’s said recently about Canada, I’m starting to lose a little respect for him,” Hague said. “But to each his own.”
While Hague’s goal is to climb the UFC’s heavyweight ladder in hopes to one day face Lesnar, his immediate concern is Tuchscherer, a two-time NCAA Division II All-American wrestler, who presents a similar style as the champ, and one he sees right through.
“It doesn’t concern me one bit. They are both wrestlers, they both fight the same type of style. Brock’s a little more athletic but I know what they bring to the table. They go for the takedown right away and if they don’t feel confident standing, they try to muscle their opponents on the ground.”
As the Feb. 6 bout approaches, Hague’s confidence is at an all-time high courtesy of a stellar training camp designed to combat his American opponent’s obvious strength.
Come Feb. 6 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Hague will be carrying the weight of the Canadian MMA world on his shoulders. Perhaps a victory over Tuchsherer (17-2-0, 1 NC) will serve notice to one of his cornermen that there is a price to pay when you talk trash about “The Great White North.”
