Bobby Lashley: 'Batista' is a good fight for the fans, but not for my career

Quoteworthy:
"It's not really the direction I want to move (in), but if it's worth it and they really think he's ready and Strikeforce wants me to fight him, I'll take the fight. I've had a good game plan up to this point and I really want to move in the right direction. Dave's just starting out. I'm looking to better myself and get better opponents each time. I'm not disrespecting Dave at all, but he's new to the game. That's definitely a fight for the fans, but not so much for my career."
Strikeforce heavyweight attraction Bobby Lashley is hoping to avoid the role of welcoming committee for fellow ex-WWE wrestler Dave Bautista who is rumored to make his Strikeforce debut later this year. Lashley himself returns to the world of cagefighting after a brief stint on the injured reserves when he takes on IFL and Rage in the Cage veteran Chad Griggs at the upcoming "Houston" event from the Toyota Center on Aug. 21. Is "The Animal" a step backwards for the "Dominator?" Or does he fit right in with the Lashley resume which consists of Wes Sims, Bob Sapp and Jason Guida?

Meh...
Never a “rasslin” fan, so not intersted in the old “drama”.

I guess he thinks there is a big crossover?
Maybe some, but negligible at best (IMO)

Don't do it Bobby!

To which fans is he referring?
Because I am an mma fan, not a wrassling fan. So, this isn’t a fight for me.
"We fight, get beat, rise, and fight again."
Agreed have them both fight someone else
IF Batista is up for it give him someone decent like Sergei to see exactly where he is at right now and give Lashley someone like Snowman since he said he was to fight better comp…
If you dont like drugs then dont do them.....give them to me!
Batista vs Herschel Walker
MAIN EVENT! Fedor vs (insert random can) can co-main event. OH YEA!

looks like Roger Huerta beat up a 235 pound former linebacker for the University of Texas
goes to show no matter who you think you are and how big you may be, you can’t stand up to a pro fighter! This is for all you guys who say you can take the WORST pro out there (which Huerta is far from the best)!

Nice. I fucking hate the Whorns. That douchebag Mack Brown recruits thugs and illiterates, so even if they “graduate” they still aren’t employable. and bobino was a starter last year, maybe even for a year or two before that, so he wasn’t some bench scrub getting worked by Li’l Roger.
Our lives change like the weather, but a legend never dies.
I'm from TX and Haaaaaate the longhorns
This is such a better story now.

We’re an A&M family, even though I went to TCU. My brother is a die-hard Aggie.

Im in fl now and a huge canes fan
But after that, any team playing the horns. Especially when its A&M.

I still say I kick Fred Ettish's ass all day long.
Haha. Give Huerta some credit though. Yeah, he is not the best, but he is better than most in his weight class. It’s not like he is Joe Son.

Time for Lashley to fight real fighters
Lots of guys have offered to fight him, but he keeps turning down real fighters and fighting the Wes Sims and Jason Guida’s of the world. He once turned down XFC Heavyweight Chris Barnett, that is a fight we need to see. Let Barnett end this “entertainers” run!!

+1
you don’t see many Wire references. Greatest show ever. <- period
"We fight, get beat, rise, and fight again."
Couldn’t agree more mate. Ha, it’s always good to find someone else who shares my view!
1. Bunk
2. Avon
3. Landsman
4. Marlo
5. bodie
Agree about the show
but the character order is a little different:
1. Snoop
2. Bodie
3. Bunk
4. Avon
5. Omar
"We fight, get beat, rise, and fight again."
ShiiiiiiiiiiiiiT!!!!
Think Senator Clay Davis was cooler
Lashley is holding out for this man:
" Its a good thing you look good in that suit, cos that's all you're gonna be doing - wearing a suit."
Yeah, and his form is all wrong too
…were goin to hell
"Remember men, we are all winners in the eyes of Christ...except for the guy still bleeding on the canvass"
LASHLEY is a joke lol
hes just fighting for the money….we all know his true dream was to be WWF heavyweight champ like hulk hogan, NOT be an MMA champ
God is too big for just one religion...
Meh, on a better MMA note,
Jon Jones is rumoured to be taking on Forrest Griffin at UFC 123 in November.
plus the guy that Roger Huerta Koed reportedly is former NFL player Rashad Bobino
Shogun will have the longest championship reign in the UFC
NFL player is pushing it
he got cut before he played a down and everyone new it was Forrest when Dana said he’d face a “top 8” opponent and not top5
lashley sucks, and he keeps ducking the guy he should fight...SHANE DEL ROSARIO
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
Lashley’s gimmick is being the ex wwe guy. If he gets beat by a more popular less experienced wwe guy then bye bye strikeforce paydays. Batista would be the new lashley.
lmao
I think anyfight with a guy with a name is better then what lashley is doing…hes a little bitch
The Red Wings will come back stronger
RESTORE THE ROAR 2010 Detroit Lions
