Scott Coker: Bobby Lashley's next opponent could be Brett Rogers

i just had an epiphany (sp) about next mmamania trip. im at work, but when i get home in a few hrs, ill fill u guys in on my idea!

Cause ya gotta be nuts to think Rogers would let this out of the 1st. He’s gonna absolutely annihilate Lashley if they give him to him. I may get tore up for this, but Rogers has a better chance at Brock then most UFC HW’s.

“Lashley will resort to wrestling”.

No he won’t. He’ll be out like a fucking light long before that.

If the odds open up with Rogers at +150 or even +200 this is a gift from god.

ever stood with anybody? I don’t think Lashley looked that great against Sims, not what I would call polished. A bit jerky and awkard in his movements. Grim is going to kick his backside!!

But looking at the Strikeforce roster, pretty much the only lower level fighters signed are Shane Del Rosario and Dan Cormier. I guess SF wants to go ahead and cash in on Lasheley while the iron is hot.
Also, kind of a lose lose for Rogers. If he wins, he beat a can green to the sport. If he wins, he was supposed to.
Personally I would rather see Lashley fight someone a little lower on the totem pole first. I would also like to see Tim Sylvia go to SF and fight Bret Rogers. Doesn’t look like either will happen

He knows this isn’t the next coming of Brock. You can see it in the guy. He just isn’t. So instead of patiently letting this guy “develop” while wrasslin for TNA or whatever it is, he’s throwing him to the wolves now. Its sink of swim, and Lashley is drowning in his own pool of blood after this matchup.

Rogers is legit. And Lashley isn’t even close. Coker may as well let him be exposed and save some money.

Either you ment it as a joke, or you sprinkled a little to much crack on your coco pops, lashley looked like a robot agains sims, rodgers will knock him out in the 1st. bye bye bobby.

21 years old? Only excuse is that you’re American and you just went drinking for the 1st time and you were sloshed when you typed this.

Otherwise you need to take that Lashley poster of the bedroom wall at mommt’s’ cause that was a ridiculous comment.

“He is just as quick as Lesnar with his speed and takedown. A lot of ppl don’t realize this….”
Trust me we would realize this had it been true. He’s fighting fucking garbage opponents man! His biggest test was Sims on a weeks notice! I HATE Lesnar but I’m not ignorant enough to compare the talents of him to Lashley. Or the caliber of fought opponents between the 2. Geez.

Ps Walker is 47. He got credit cause its his 1st pro fight and he carries himself very well and well…he’s 47! Lashley draws no similar comparison and why should he? Tomato tomatto, Walker doesn’t plan on running for the title. And has left it up to AkA if he even fights again because, he said he trusts them if they think he did well enough to continue or not.

I think lashley has a chance with the wrestling advantage combined with his shorter, more explosive physique. He should be shooting in alot with high chance of success.

Lashley rd2 gnp

Lashley is NOT a world-class wrestler. Just because he, like Lesnar, was in the WWE does not mean they have the same skills in the same levels. He has been trying to be like Lesnar for years and has failed in every way.

 Both fighters strengths are the other fighters weaknesses. Yes I know Rogers did OK on the ground against Fedor but Fedor is also 25 pounds lighter than lashley were Fedor had problems keeping the big man down because of the size advantage mainly in my opinion. It would be a very interesting match that could very well end in the first as many of Rogers fights have. Remember as good as Rogers striking is he is lacking in the experience department it would be nice to see too big guys go at it another fight I would like to see is Rogers against Bigfoot.

isn’t the best way to call a fight. Rogers is a better fighter. His stand up is a million miles beyond Lashley’s, I don’t think that Lashley has ever even stood with anybody long enough to say he has stand up. and frankly, his clumsy, positioning and gnp + inability to properly finish an out of shape wes sims are all bad, bad signs! He’ll have to really tighten up other wise Rogers will knock Bobby out.

First of all, Rogers isn’t SF’s best HW. That would be Fedor. Grim is anywhere from 2-4 on their HW roster(I believe 2nd), and we’ll know exactly where after a couple more fights. Second, Lashley is a HUGE HW, and King Mo and Whitehead are both LHW’s. Neither of those fights make more sense than the Rogers fight. At least when Lashley gets stomped by Grim he will be losing to someone credible that’s in his own weight class.

 His biggest strength is obviously his ground game combined with his size he has a chance as long as he can get it to the ground. Getting it to the ground will be the battle were Lashley can easily fall victim to Rogers strikes so he needs to have good striking defence and a few strikes of his own to set up the takedown. We all know Rogers has good striking and powerfull striking but Rogers has yet to have his ground game tested by anyone close to his size, and for that reason I’m giving Lashley a chance.

 Rogers has faced better comp and looked good but he won’t have the size advantage he has been use to against Lashley. I know lashley is no Lesnar but he is a decent wrestler and is big & strong. Rogers is the fauvorite for good reason and for some reason I feel SF wants another Rogers and Fedor fight I wouldn’t be surprised to see announced that the winner of this fight will face Fedor? I know SF had a vote on what rematch fans wanted to see and Rogers was the clear winner with almsot 70% of the votes.

 M1 wants a piece of the pie for one fighter that will never happen even though Fedor has two fights remaining and who knows what could happen but I don’t think we will ever see them come to terms. In a way I’m thinking Coker would love to see the Grim beat Fedor not only would Grims value increase Fedors would decrease for a future contract? Then again there is still Overeem in the picture and has anyone heard anything about AA?
