Ken Shamrock: Bobby Lashley is not a fat guy laying on his back

"I’ve done a lot of firsts. I was the first heavyweight champ of MMA and first foreign champ in Japan. This is the first time two champions (Jones and Shamrock) in their individual sports, at this level, will be fighting on the same card – boxing and MMA. I think it’s the way of the future and it’s happening now. Lashley got things going in wrestling and then the WWE. Now he’s in MMA. He’s very good. I think he’s 270-pounds of muscle – quick, explosive and strong. The area he lacks, gound skills, he makes up for with his strength and ability to move on the ground. He can really move on his feet. This isn’t a fat guy laying on his back."
UFC Hall-of-Famer Ken Shamrock (27-13-2) prepares for his upcoming bout against former WWE superstar Bobby Lashley at "March Badness" — a hybrid mixed martial arts and boxing event being put on by former boxing champion Roy Jones Jr. live on pay-per-view (PPV) from the Pensacola Civic Center in Pensacola, Fla., on March 21. "The World's Most Dangerous Man" is coming off his first win in almost five years at Wargods "Valentine's Eve Massacre" where he harpooned Ross Clifton early in round one. Shammy doesn't anticipate the same level of resistance from Lashley - though it may not matter once the hulking behemoth gets his hands on the 45-year old MMA pioneer.

I hope is eye doesn’t get cut open before the fight.

Am just worried that we won’t get to see him against Tank. That fight makes way more sense than Lashley.

most dangerous can accepting defeat? nay i say. Ken by sub rd 1..*puts down crack pipe, finishes nice warm Pabst blue ribbon, fucks sister, sobers up** “I said who was gonna win that fight??!!!”

I remember in UFC 1 when he came out in that little gay red speedo. Maybe when he fights Lashley he’ll come out in Depends.

LOL. That red speedo was f*cking intemidating tho.
by BMO on Mar 5, 2009 7:24 PM EST up reply actions
sounds to me like he’s already accepted defeat, i dont really know why he is taking this fight, i will be very suprised if it actually happens, maybe shamrock does have better sub skills but like he said himself its going to be hard for someone his size to get lashley into a position where he can finish him, i really dont see this going past the first and shamrock could end up seriously hurt

Maybe he’s doing it for money? But there’s not enough money in the world worth getting crippled over.

another thing, i dont get how the athletic commision is allowing this to go ahead, shamrock is smaller than most LHWs and he’s going to be facing a huge HW, add that to the fact he cant really take much of a punch now and it gets quite dangerous, i could understand the logic in shamrock moving to HW, i think he thought he would have the speed and cardio advantage which would allow him to win, but now he comes up against someone who is around 60lbs heavier and is probably quicker, i understand he still has the competetive spirit but he should be taking smarter fights than this. i can’t see him winning this even on his very best day, hopefully when the fight is over he isn’t to seriously injured and retires,to be honest, i dont think he will retire at his own will, it will either take a serious injury to put him out or the athletic commision will have to step in and say this is enough
by hughes on Mar 5, 2009 3:09 PM EST up reply actions
Agreed. He is definately gonna get seriously hurt if this doesn’t stop soon. He should move to LHW or MW then he would stand a much better chance of winning and no getting KTFO. And yeah Lashley wins by anyway he wants to.

I’m with you hughes. This one will end early. I still think back to when all you people were talking shit about the WWE stars not being able to hang with the MMA guys. These guys are skilled,(brock, Lashley, and more.) Lashley will defeat a former UFC Champ just as did Brock. Give them some credit. Oh Ya, FEDOR WILL LOOSE TO BROCK!!!!!!
by iagoof22 on Mar 5, 2009 9:46 PM EST up reply actions
oh yah! he can definitely defeat FEDOR..and then brock would be defeated by lashly,stone cold,undertaker batista even HULK HOgan…
wtf! are u saying iagoof…ur name mirrors ur thoughts..very goofy thoughts…
by gaara on Mar 5, 2009 10:37 PM EST up reply actions
Ya thats right, I should have listened to people like you that said Brock would NEVER defeat a likes of 6 time UFC Champ Randy right. Thats my point. People like you continue to insult Brock Lesner and the fact that he was in WWE. Does he suck now? Shut the hell up and realize a tough bastard when you see him and give him some credit. I may sound like a GOOF, but Brock is the KING of the UFC right now, Call me a idiot but that HW championship is the top of the food chain. Fedor can eat my balls. Until he is UFC Champ, he is a CHUMP>

Well maybe MMAMANIA will not post the last one but gaara you are a dope.
by iagoof22 on Mar 5, 2009 11:12 PM EST up reply actions
Gaara n’ iagoof22, it depends if they were a Collegiante National Wrestling Champion. We all know the pre-WWE credentials of Lashley n’ Brock. Years in the WWE doesn’t help them become better MMA fighters.

Shamrock should just say ‘f it’ and take a whole bunch of steroids for this match. It may be his only chance.
by A Lynch on Mar 5, 2009 2:33 PM EST reply actions
yeah but realisticly he should not even be taking this fight, thats reality.

Oooo powerbomb my most favorite of all bombs!!

To bad it’s not fat guy laying on his back, you might have a chance then!! hahahahahahahaha
by Dragon on Mar 5, 2009 3:09 PM EST reply actions
He’s no fat guy all right! He’s 270 pounds of beefy muscle[steroid-enhanced perhaps]! He’s definitely statin’ the obvious, like what was said above.

clearly got ur point sya…perhaps may be an understatement to put it that way bro..

if ken somehow wins he can retire and say he defeated a young strong hw, if he loses its like no biggie hes new, young and hungry
i dont think it matters what the result is to him
regardless i wanna see lashley stand a bit see how he moves and such
lashley 1st round tko ima say 58 seconds
by phenomenal angel on Mar 5, 2009 3:44 PM EST reply actions
It wouldn’t matter if my kid sister KO’d Shamrock in rd 1; he’s pretty much done all the tarnishing of a record/reputation that one could possibly do; the only thing thats starting to get scary here is the fact that he’s gonna end up disabled or worse at this rate. I might not be able to stand some of the crap that comes out of the guys mouth sometimes but I don’t dislike him enough to wanna see the guy seriously injured or dead. I’ll say a prayer for Ken on this one; he really needs to start thinkin retirement for good. I just hope he makes it out of there with minimal damage.

Dear Bobby Lashley:
Please don’t kill Ken Shamrock; he’s not really a bad guy, he just says some dumb sh!t sometimes and doesn’t know when to quit.

you bet OD….I see a terrifying ending to the Ken Shamrock story
by McArthur on Mar 5, 2009 4:28 PM EST up reply actions
I don’t even think Ken wants to win fights.. he just wants to make money, and his time of making money on fighting is over!
by RoB on Mar 5, 2009 3:54 PM EST reply actions
The fight will start, Lashley will toss him to the ground, then proceed to pound him out. It’s basically a foregone conclusion. Good for lashley’s career though.

Even his pointing looks weird in that pic.

Prepare to listen to the Kenny Shammy eulogy, right after the fight.

lashley wins within the first minute for sure, and i wanna see a gian slam ko

LMAO!! I crack up just at the site of the worlds most dangerous can. :P
by nathan on Mar 5, 2009 5:46 PM EST reply actions
yeah i think Lashley will dominate this fight, but part of me would like to see something similar to kimbo Vs Petruzelli where the bigger man who most people think is a monster turns out to have weak jaw.
what i dont wanna see is another Mir vs brock where the smaller man gets dominated but then catches a lucky limb
only unlike kimbo i would hope lashley wouldnt get knocked out and it gives shammy the confidence to try and stand with him
by CoN'r on Mar 5, 2009 6:00 PM EST reply actions
Damn Shamrock has balls to take this fight and Fuck all the haters who said he pulled out if the Kimbo fight – this is far more dangerous as although Bobby lashley is a relatively unknown commodity atm in the sport, he has the same freak genetics of one BROCK LESNAR and i think its only a matter of time before he gets the name as another NEXT big thing!
by Randy for Couture on Mar 5, 2009 7:21 PM EST reply actions
For some reason i don’t think Ken will fight… i hope im wrong though.
by Lester the Pimp on Mar 5, 2009 8:07 PM EST reply actions
i hope ken never fights this one…let that wwe freak fight some real stuff…why do they always spoon feed these freaks? like randy is being feed by brock and then suddenly he is the MMA’s best HW…now its ken being feed by lashley…then its jst a matter of time that we eventually woke up having brock vs lash for the title….oh god!!!
if that’s the way to do it then ill be rooting for batista as the next big thing for MMA..wtf!
by gaara on Mar 5, 2009 10:33 PM EST reply actions
1. He will lose this fight.
2. He will lose to his brother.
3. He will lose to kimbo
4. He will win against a loser.
5. He retires ( with the win under his belt)
You heard it hear first, folks :)
by Alex on Mar 5, 2009 11:14 PM EST reply actions
I see this as Bobby Lashley winning by F5 or powerbomb. Not unless the script writers of Vince McMahon wanted to have Shamrock win by ankle lock. Seriously, this thing should not even be talked about!
by Phasebook on Mar 6, 2009 12:36 AM EST reply actions
Ken’s gonna’ do 1 or 2 things… get hurt and pull out before the fight. OR Ken’s gonna’ fight, get KO’d and get paid really well!
by Dave A on Mar 6, 2009 1:08 AM EST reply actions
Shamrock forever!
Screw you guys….Shamrock via brutal heel hook that ends Lashley’s career.
by Fenrsz on Mar 6, 2009 4:09 AM EST reply actions
I dunno about that, trying to hit a heel hook while Lashley’s fist topples Ken’s head off is gonna’ be kinda’ difficult… right?
