guy on sherdog posted this over a year ago, he met Rogers at a store in Minnesota and shot the shit with him...

...I also asked him about his training and what it was like and must say i was surprised by his answers. "Im no longer training at Minnesota Mixed Martial arts acadamy, ya know me im a straight shooter and ill tell you something there was too much tension in there and it became a distraction to training so i had to leave and im the middle of finding a new home to train out of."

I pushed him a bit to elaborate and he explained that when everyone got wind at the gym about Brock getting a title shot a few people thought it was too early and brock should not take it. He said "he didnt feel brock should take a fight not because he hadnt earned it but that Brock just was not quite ready for a fighter like Randy Couture." Regardless Brock Lesnar agreed and he started helping Brock get ready for the fight. Being one of the HWs at the camp with good striking he was asked to be one of brocks sparring partners for the striking. He told me had been doing some Light Sparring and he cliped Brock with a grazing hook and Knocked him out. "it was not a major ko but it was a quick flash ko ya know man i didnt put a whole lot on there I honestly was taking it light" he told me Brock got really upset and accused Brett of being jealous and got really angry but the trainers cooled things down and he didnt think much more of it. "The next time we were sparring I could feel a lot of tension still working with Brock and ya know, He really started trying to hit me hard, I mean I understand he is training for a title fight and i have no problems sparring real hard but man, He was trying to really take my head off ya know. I told him to chill out after the first round and the second round he did the same thing, I dont want to brag or seem like a jerk man but Enough is enough so I tagged him real good and dropped him he was out cold like stiff cold for a second i thought i had killed him either way i just went to the back grabbed my stuff and told the trainers i was done with the place. when i left brock was still lying on the floor. At that point I thought about it and decided training there was gonna be too much of a distraction at that point.
