Brace for the mainstream media misspellings. Heavyweight Chris Tuchscherer is in for a tough debut when he meets Gabriel Gonzaga in a preliminary contest at UFC 102 on Aug. 29. Gonzaga's predicted rise to the top of the UFC's heavyweight totem was derailed in summer 2007 when well-traveled Randy Couture handed him a brutal loss. And thanks to Shane Carwin, Gonzaga was knocked out of immediate title contention at UFC 96. A 260-odd-pound former All-American wrestler at Minnesota State, Tuchscherer is the latest in a line of behemoth heavyweights who can use his mass as a weapon. Tuchscherer also trains with Brock Lesnar, which could prove interesting if he ever finds himself in a position to challenge for the divisional title.
