MMA Quick Quote: Jason Guida and Bobby Lashley get into it at pre-fight presser

by MMAmania.com on Mar 19, 2009 8:39 AM EDT

"I’m really pumped for it. I want to thank Bobby (Lashley) for taking the fight. I’m going to do it. Everyone’s going to see a good show. We’re going to do something March 21st. I didn’t say half but meant all of it (quotes in the release that Lashley previously read)…. I’ve never seen you put anybody to sleep…. This is for real. How long have you been faking? How long in the WWE? How long has it been since somebody hit you on the chin for real?"

-- Jason Guida and Bobby Lashley get into a war of words at the final pre-fight press conference for "March Badness" — a hybrid mixed martial arts and boxing pay-per-view (PPV) event being put on by former boxing champion Roy Jones Jr. this Saturday, March 21, from the Pensacola Civic Center in Pensacola, Florida. Guida stepped up on short notice to fill-in for the suspended Ken Shamrock (steroids) and has since kept a steady drumbeat of trash talk to help hype the match against the former WWE superstar and absolute shredded monster/collegiate wrestling specimen. Jones had to actually step between Guida and Lashley as the exchange became heated -- Lashley pushed Guida as it nearly came to blows. This is getting good.

Jason Guida is going to be eating canvas; he’s not half the athlete that Lashley is, and his physical prowess will make up for any lack of technique/experience this early in his carreer.

I concur. Lashley moves like a cat. A big, black, shredded and dangerous cat. Does he have a weak chin? That’s the golden question. He’s a pretty good guy, I’ve never seen a bad story about him, and unless Guida catches him on the button he’s going to get crushed.

I wonder if anyone on here is brave enough to say Guida takes this one. Haha

guida takes this… easily. and by takes this i mean it in the sense of a child molester fresh in the penitentiary.

I think it is kind of ironic that Shamrock can’t fight lashley because he used steroids. I suppose that Lashley went from like 170 in college to 270 now by using Muscle Milk and creatine.

Thanks O Damn. Saves me typing as I totally agree.

Lashley -> R1 KO for sure….as gummy Guida sucks sphincter!

by Ca$z on Mar 19, 2009 9:44 AM EDT up reply actions

NO doubt! Guida should just shut up and take his beating!

by john on Mar 19, 2009 10:52 AM EDT up reply actions

guida should take some conditioning lessons from his brother. i predict lashley by death!

This is comical.. Jason.. gets an invite on the TUF show.. basically cuz of his brothers work for the company.. Him and all his chunkiness shows up the 1sdt day weighing 230+.. to fight in the 205lb division? He was more like the Octagon Jester.. All he need was a funny hat.. and paint on his face.

not lookin too chunky in that picture; probably going to test positive for roids too… lol

It really seems like steroids in MMA has become a huge problem, when you got everyone from Ken Shamrock to Royce Gracie to new guys like Leben and Big foot getting popped. Some stricter screening is definatley in order. They gotta find a way to get rid of this cycling on and cycling off crap.

by O damn he got caught on Mar 19, 2009 11:53 AM EDT up reply actions

I completely agree. I’ve been saying this for several years. The UFC is making a huge mistake not getting out in front of this. They should drug test every fighter the day they sign a fight contract and random once during the training camp and test them pre-fight. This would virtually eliminate any steroid use by fighters 3 months before a fight.

by DDT on Mar 19, 2009 12:03 PM EDT up reply actions

Please…

Steroids will always be involved as long as sports exist within the fabric of society.

Don’t delude yourselves…

(Ok, I am off my soapbox). :)

Anyone know how much $ this ppv will cost?

by griffinfan05 on Mar 19, 2009 8:49 AM EDT reply actions

I an curious also. I’d love to see if Lashley is the real deal.

by RyGuy on Mar 19, 2009 8:50 AM EDT up reply actions

The fight is only $29.95. I have already ordered it. Hope this helps.

by Travo on Mar 19, 2009 9:28 AM EDT up reply actions

$29.95! Good lord thats a lot of money!

by O damn he got caught on Mar 19, 2009 12:34 PM EDT up reply actions

It might $29 I could be wrong….I think Guida takes this one….just a feeling…is there any tape of Lashley fighting?

by Robert(1) on Mar 19, 2009 9:04 AM EDT reply actions

Bobby Lashley aka Julio Baptista is going to lay him out!

by RoB on Mar 19, 2009 9:04 AM EDT reply actions

Julio Baptista lmao…So true.

by RobH86 on Mar 19, 2009 1:54 PM EDT up reply actions

It does cost $29.99 I might get it to see how Bobby makes out…

by Blades on Mar 19, 2009 9:21 AM EDT reply actions

guida had a punchers chance to win the fight! he needs to avoid the take down and throw heavy hands. or fight really good off of his back with a beast on top of him. work on triangles, defend the takedown, and throw your hands. he needs to implement that gameplan to win!

by Winner by Strikes!! on Mar 19, 2009 9:44 AM EDT reply actions

Are they showing this on regular ppv??? I haven’t been able to find it through my cable network.

by PACO on Mar 19, 2009 10:56 AM EDT reply actions

Lashley looks like he’s going to crush him and make a protein shake.

by Ktown on Mar 19, 2009 11:00 AM EDT reply actions

Your $29.99 will go a long way towards the rehabilitation, care and feeding of Geico Guida once his complete loss of motor skills is completed at this weekend’s slaughter.

Won’t you call now?

Operators are standing by.

Just to pick a different result

Ima say lashley muscles into a rear naked choke in 1st

by phenomenal angel on Mar 19, 2009 11:15 AM EDT reply actions

Why hasn’t the UFC signed Lashley yet?

They got Bork when he had pretty much done nothing in MMA, then fast-tracked him to a championship.

by KS on Mar 19, 2009 11:21 AM EDT reply actions

I like the name “Bork” for Lesner! HAHA!

Maybe two WWE stars in the UFC is too much for Dana. At least until Lasheley gets a few more fights under his belt.

by blackBEERd on Mar 19, 2009 11:52 AM EDT up reply actions

I’m willing to bet that if it happens, Lasheley vs Lesnar will be the new highest grossing PPV ever. Which is sad considering their noteriety doesn’t even come from MMA.

by O damn he got caught on Mar 19, 2009 12:18 PM EDT up reply actions

It would love to see 2 WWE fakers actually fight each other. Too bad it won’t be for the HW title as it will be around Mir’s waist by then.

by UFC Champ on Mar 19, 2009 1:27 PM EDT up reply actions

Well Lesnar really is having a proper go at this thing. I like him. Perhaps if mma and the UFC was this big 10 years ago he may have gone straight from college wrestling to mma. Imagine what he’d be like now?
