He&#8217;s now suing pretty much everybody involved in the audition \u2014 which is understandable.<\/p>\n<p>According to the lawsuit, which was reviewed by TMZ, Schoenauer was asked to burst through a door with a stuntwoman. Both were armed with automatic weapons that were inexplicably loaded with live ammo. The stuntwoman reportedly fired her gun as called for, and inadvertently shot Schoenauer, leaving him with nerve damage and an injured arm\u2014 but thankfully no life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n<p>As TMZ points out, the truly baffling part of all this is that Schoenauer claims the stunt coordinator wanted the scene done with real bullets.<\/p>\n<p>After his time on The Ultimate Fighter, Alex Schoenauer embarked on a long, hot-and-cold run as a professional fighter, competing for a number of promotions including the defunct IFL. During that stretch, he fought notables like Shannon Ritch,<a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/tuf-1-veteran-lodune-sincaid-dead-at-45-years-old\/\"> Lodune Sincaid<\/a>, Travis Wiuff, Brian Ebersole, Vladimir Matyushenko, and Paulo Filho, beating several of them.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s hoping his future as a stuntman is not affected by this bizarre incident.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.COM<\/i><\/span><\/a><i> on 7\/30\/2019. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Old school MMA fans will remember Alex Schoenauer from season one of The Ultimate Fighter.
