Chris Tuchscherer talks about the lack of answers he received from Oregon State Athletic Commission:
"I asked the doctor many times what would happen if I can't continue. 'Is it a no-contest? What happens here?' And the doctor and the ref couldn't tell me. They kept passing the buck on to each other out there, so no one could tell me what was going on."
About that time, Lesnar came cageside to check on Tuchscherer. The heavyweight champ first inquired on his training partner's health, at which time Tuchscherer told him he thought, "My [testicle] is up inside my body."

I saw the fight and it was a really disturbing scene. So do we know if his ball is alright after all?
You don't look like a Tanaka.

Trust me, nuts or no nuts that’s a painful fight to watch.

I got kneed in the hooha one day in jits class
Guy was trying to do a knee cutter… yea… thought I was going to cry. I imagine what Tuchscherer went through made that “knee cutter” look like foreplay…

The most brutal nut shot I've seen in MMA!
This dude took 5 minutes and still could barely stand up. Then GG decides to take advantage of the guy being over protective of his “boys” and drops him with a head kick.
Tough first fight. At least he showed he’s got balls… or Heart.
I’m anti-Gonzaga after this fight. He was punching the back of Tuchscherer’s head and also went for a cheap shot as Tuchscherer was getting up while turned around.

What he said.
"He built his whole reputation (as a) waffle house chef. They've been serving him up ham and eggs with a side of canned tomatoes." - Don Frye on Fedor Emelianenko
Well, you just kicked the guy so hard in the balls that he was nearly vomiting. Maybe, just maybe, let the guy get his composure first? (I’d be a bad fighter, I know)

That's on the ref.

This fight should still go down as a NC...

I think that might start a double-standard
Ed Herman was injured by an accident consequence of his opponent’s attack, but heat/ego drove him on and he ended up losing. Chris decided to try and make the best of it and ended up losing.
It was crazy how Gonzaga was staring him down, pacing back n forth while Tuchscherer was recovering. I was like, jeez Gonzaga is a very ruthless man.

If only he hadn't backed up to catch that....
